Stingrays have a poisonous barb on their tails that they only use in self-defense. Stingrays are generally docile and will swim near people in shallow waters. They also have sensors around their mouth called ampullae of Lorenzini, that help them detect electrical charges from their prey.

Stingrays have a flattened body and distinctive wing-like pectoral fins that they use to "fly" through the water. They have a venomous stinger on their tail that they use defensively. Some species of stingrays are capable of delivering painful stings to humans.
