First film of 'giant' stingray

The footage is from the bbc is can be seen here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/earth/hi/earth_news/newsid_8347000/8347298.stm

I think we have a new opponent for next most IDM competition, looks amazing in the water. (yes some manta rays are bigger, but they just don't look as impressive as this guy)

That is awesome, at first I expected him to be bigger, but then I realised it's a stingray which is still considerably fucking larger than two human beings.

yeah if that thing washed up on shore you could use it as a smelly hammock.

wow.

thats gorgeous. i love the way stingray 'fly' through the water.

so elegant.

shes delightful

funny how they call it a small eyed sting ray ... perhaps it's eyes are normal sized .. they just look small in relation to the size of the rest of the beast ...

i mean you don't call whales 'small eyed whales' .. you focus on other features that differentiate the particular species from it's fellows ..
