Description
The bat ray is an eagle ray found in muddy or sandy sloughs, estuaries and bays, kelp beds and rocky-bottomed shoreline in the eastern Pacific Ocean, between the Oregon coast and the Gulf of California. It is also found in the area around the Galápagos Islands.Although both stingrays and bat rays have wide pectoral fins there are some slight differences in their shape. In fact, if you’re wondering where bat rays get their name from then look no further. Bat rays are named because of the shape of their bodies and pectoral fins. They are diamond-shaped and their pectoral fins are pointed on the ends – giving them the appearance of a large bat.
