Why won't you fit in my mouth!
Nom nom nom.
In Portuguese theyβre literally called mantas aka blankets
Oh my god
Manta ray
Its a blanket ray
All he needs is an underwater campfire.
Careful with those, you could attract a sea bear. Make sure you draw a proper anti sea bear circle around you.
But make sure to check the sea fire risk index first
Aren't they dangerous?
A pissed off stingray is what killed Steve Irwin, The Crocodile Hunter. Though that's supposedly the only stingray related death caught on camera.
I still havenβt forgiven the stingray.
I know that Steve would say it wasnβt the stingrayβs fault, that he was the one intruding and it was just defending itself, as stingrays do.
But Iβm not nearly as good a human as Steve.
It literally stabbed him in the heart, which seems to me like an unlikely way to die to a stingray, but I'm no stingrayologist, so take that with a grain of salt.
well maybe he shouldn't have jammed his thumb up its butthole
They hurt like a bad beesting. Lifeguards will put your foot into a bag of hot water (denatures the venom) and after a few minutes, you are fine
Lifeguards will put your foot into a bag of hot water
What if I get stabbed somewhere else? Do they still just put my foot in a bag of hot water?
Yes, even if your spouse gets stung, they put your foot in hot water.
I also choose this guy's wife.
Yes. You can put your dick in the hot water too if it gets stung
The danger is not they biting you.
It's not called a bite-ray.
At the very least, the ones in Grand Cayman are really docile and friendly to humans.
From this perspective it looks like they are trying to mimic a hermit crab
A stingstay
Nom-nom.
