Polka-dot Stingray

The polka-dot stingray is a freshwater ray, easy to spot thanks to its bold white spots on a dark, round body—just like a polka dot dress. Adults grow up to 45 cm across and can reach 70 cm in length. The center of its disc is deep brown or black, dotted with neat, white spots. Its long, thin tail hides a venomous barb, ready to strike if danger comes too close.
