Masked Stingaree

A fairly uncommon sight in these waters! The shot was taken last Friday on a dive NW of Mindarie Marina in the northern suburbs of Perth. The Masked Stingaree is quite attractive but has a venomous spine on the tail. This one was around 50cm across.

    So it has a barb in its tail - so the smiling assassin.

    This creeps me out a little... not sure why.
