ℹ️ Overview
The Cownose ray (Rhinoptera bonasus) is distinguished by its brown to olive-colored back, lighter underbelly, and a distinctive shape marked by a pair of wing-like pectoral fins and a squared, indented snout resembling a cow's nose. Native to the western Atlantic and Caribbean regions, this species can be found ranging from New England to Brazil. It possesses a distinct look with a broad, kite-shaped body, spanning about 2 to 3 feet wide. Despite its intriguing appearance, the Cownose ray is not commonly known in the aquarium hobby, primarily due to its size and the specialized care it requires.
