This species has a spine near its tail that is particularly dangerous.
Cowtail stingray is a solitary animal, but sharks loves to eat them (especially the hammerhead), as the bottlenose dolphin Tursiop.
The kakihona sushi (sushi wrapped in persimmon leaves) are really the best!
To eat them, you have to go to Nara!
Parrotfish create a protective envelope around them when they are sleeping.
So, don't put the light on them during night dive to don't to wake them up and break this envelope.
The tiger shark has slender marks similars to the lines of tigers, hence its name.
When it is juvenile, these marks are round and not vertical. They change when it grows.
