Raja erinacea - The little skate?

Definitely a skate. A think it is a little too. Good call. It is out of range for winter skate and the claspers indicate that it is mature. it is only 16 inches.

Carman,

Those first photos are "cute"? You have a strange opinion of what is cute. I was going with deformed animal created from the effects of the Japanese ***ushima plant radiation leak into ocean, or also known as Blinkys brother.

Jason,

If you want it, let me know. It is really cool looking. Max size at 16 inches.

Amazing skate... I agree, looks like a 'little'.

Skate found a great home. Thought I share one last photo. Hard to believe this is the same animal.
