Urogymnus dalyensis [Urogymnus dalyensis]
Description
This stingray is a bottom-dweller that divers may encounter on sandy substrates, often moving slowly and steadily as it searches for prey. Expect a graceful, low-to-the-ground glide—sometimes with brief pauses—before it continues along the seafloor or settles into the substrate.
