Its a migration of epic proportion. A migration of Golden cow-nose rays! Twice a year, they migrate in the Gulf of Mexico to warmer waters. There are around 70 species of stingray in the worlds oceans, but these cow-nose rays (Rhinoptera bonasus) have distinctive, highdomed heads, giving them a curiously bovine appearance. But despite their placid looks, they are still armed with a poisonous stinger, which can be deadly to humans (even though sharks, their main predators, are more likely to provoke them). The stinger, a razor-sharp spine that grows from the creatures whip-like tail, can reach almost 15 inches in length and carries a heady dose of venom. Reading about nature is fine, but if a person walks in the woods and listens carefully, he can learn more than what is in books, for they speak with the voice of God. Joy in looking and comprehending is natures most beautiful gift, enjoy it my friends. Have a blessed day.
