Spotted eagle ray,
Bahia Honda, Florida Keys, USA. Two Eagle
rays were swimming close to shore in the channel underneath the old
bridge. I snorkeled around there in an attempt to find them
but
with no success. Interestingly they can be quite dangerous under
freakish situations. This same weekend that we were in Bahia
Honda, a lady was killed by an eagle ray. As she sat on her
boat,
an eagle ray jumped out of the water, hit her, then stung
her.
The force of the hit knocked her down and she hit her head on the
boat. No one knows if the force of being hit by an eagle ray
and
then hitting the bottom of the boat killed her or if it was the sting.
