Spiny Butterfly Ray
Gymnura altavela
體盤寬度遠大於長度的菱形巨翼在海沙上方緩慢振翅滑行,尾短而細,游動姿態宛如一架優雅滑翔的水下風箏。
Glides like an enormous aquatic kite over shallow sand flats, boasting an immense diamond-shaped disc that stretches far wider than its body is long.
翼展寬度可超過兩公尺,常將寬扁的身軀埋在沙地中伺機突襲獵物;不同於許多無刺的燕魟科成員,刺燕魟纖細短小的尾巴基部具有一至多根帶毒的鋸齒狀尾刺,受威脅時能向上甩尾防衛。
Unlike several stingless relatives in the butterfly ray family, it bears one or more venomous serrated spines at the base of its slender tail used for defensive strikes when threatened.
尚無潛點紀錄。
