I saw this story. Pretty crazy, but the ray looks more like 50 pounds than 300.

Congrats to the media for taking something and stretching it into something it's not. What next, giant killer great whites of the upper Eastcoast of the US....

We're gonna need a bigger boat.


300 lbs!? What!? No.
8 foot wingspan!? What!? Not a chance.
They leap to get rid of parasites!? Who told them that!?
And now suddenly Steve Irwin was killed by a spotted eagle ray, too! Crazy!

Title should read:
"60 lbs stingray jumps in boat and scares crap out of uneducated family"

"Idiot family allowes protected spotted eagle ray to slowly die on boat deck"

Maybe

"Women saw animal coming at her and chose to take pic instead of move"

Hmmm....The link changes stories. I can't find it

I don't know much about rays but my first thought after reading the the title was... I don't think they get that big

 

[Zoodiver]

They get that big for sure. Spotted eagles are big - espeacially the females. The one in the pic is not what they said.

i'm telling you, it's like the weather channel when they say stuff like 60 degrees, feels like 54. it's the same thing with animals when people are terrified. 60 pound ray, feels like 300. one foot snake, feels like seven
