More about Leopard torpedo ray

The Leopard torpedo ray (Torpedo panthera) is a species characterized by a distinctive leopard-like spotted pattern on its back, encompassing shades of brown, tan, and sometimes greenish hues. Primarily found in the Western Indian Ocean, this electric ray is distinguished by its flattened, disc-shaped body and large, rounded pectoral fins that contribute to its ray-like appearance. Despite its striking appearance, the Leopard torpedo ray is not commonly featured in the aquarium hobby, primarily due to its specialized care requirements and the potential danger posed by its ability to generate electric shocks for defense and prey immobilization.
