Many fish have bodies shaped like a cylinder with tapered ends. At one end is the fish’s head. At the other end is its tail fin. Not so for stingrays.
Stingrays are fish like goldfish and guppies. But they’re different in almost every way. A stingray’s body is flat. It looks almost like a pancake with a long, thin tail. All of the more than 200 different kinds of stingrays live in warm, shallow water. You can find them in oceans, lakes, and rivers.
