Stingray

Stingray
 
Related to sharks in having a cartilaginous skeleton and no true bony support for body.
 
Stingray are sedentary, bottom living creatures that spend most of their time resting on the sea floor. Poison is produced in the thick layer of darkly pigmented tissue in a groove on each side of the under surface of the sting. Give birth to live young, about 15 cm across in size.
