They normally live in coastal tropical and subtropical marine waters, making it possible for them to come in contact with humans. Although not usually aggressive, the stingray will use its stinger in self-defense when accidentally stepped on, secreting a venom into the victim's wound. Fortunately, you can follow a simple treatment paradigm if you find yourself in this situation.

- Stingrays eat a variety of foods. They can eat bundles of sea worms, shrimp, and clams. They may also eat soft shelled animals too. They like to take mollusks and small fish. When they hunt fish, they hunt in the upper water column. That means that they eat in the areas above the sea floor, about 10 meters up. Their fins are used for removing the top layer of sand off the sea floor while searching for buried food. They also can be used for swimming, but they are just a little useless.

- The 'stinger' actually is a barbed spine that is located at the base of the stingray's tail. The barb contains a venom and is the stingray's defensive weapon. It does not use the barb on prey. Stingrays spend a lot of time swimming just over the surface of sandy bottoms, looking for food. When they feed, and sometimes when they rest, they settle onto the bottom and lie flat. Thus, whether resting or hunting, they are subject to predation from above.
