Annual Migration of Golden or Cow Nose Rays




Two metres across, the Golden or Cow Nose rays circularly migrate: western Florida and the Yucatan Peninsular, Mexico. In schools of up to 10,000.

These images were taken by Sandra Critelli, an amateur photographer.

    That first pic looked like a bunch of kites flying (in the air of course). Never did hear about any golden or cow-nosed rays before and never knew that they even migrated!! lol
    Interesting post, Nick!
