Feeding and Petting the Bat Rays at Sea World San Diego, CA

Fascinating ..

Yes, and they feel very soft and silky.

They are amazing friendly creatures :o))

Yes, they're very friendly, as long as you don't step on them. Thousands of people get stung by these rays along our coast every summer. It's because when people go into the water they accidentally step on them. The young ones hang out on the shore's edge.
