Bat ray Profile

The Bat ray (Myliobatis californica) is a species of eagle ray native to the eastern Pacific Ocean, from Oregon to the Gulf of California. It is characterized by its dark brown to black coloration on top with a white underside, and a distinctive pectoral fin span resembling bat wings, which can reach up to 6 feet in width. It has a flat, diamond-shaped body and a long, whip-like tail equipped with a venomous spine for defense. Bat rays are not commonly known in the aquarium hobby due to their large size and specific habitat requirements.
