Daily Ray Fact:

Gregarious in nature, the Pink Whipray has been known to form large active and resting aggregations, and associate with other large ray species. It is believed to be common throughout the tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific, probably occurring all around Indian Ocean periphery from South Africa to northern Australia.

anthropocène, serie of embroidered installations (wip) . Maculabatis arabica (Pakistan whipray), endemic to the Arabian Seas region, critically endangered. The species is taken as incidental catch in inshore trawl fisheries and is targeted using bottom-set gillnets. Juveniles are found in estuaries where much of the fishing effort, particularly with stake nets, occurs and adults are likely to be captured in trawls. The limited distribution overlaps with intense coastal fisheries throughout the entire geographic range of the species. source : iucnredlist.org #embroidery #broderie #whipray #endangeredspecies #bycatch #fishing #ray #raie #especesmenacees #peche #anthropocene #anthropoceneDMJ #wip

#Leopard Lust: oh yes I freaked at the sight of this leopard #whipray. Took coming to Australia to learn of them. Sadly this little-known species is listed as vulnerable, in large part due to humans. Of course. #leopardofthesea #sealife #marinelife #leopardwhipray #stingray #diamondshape #holiday #SunshineCoast #lavieenrose https://www.instagram.com/p/BztvuxDphPb/?igshid=aydb8fyls097

📐2-D UNDERWATER LEOPARD !!!😁😁😁 ⏩Follow @shark.passion 🦈❤ . 📸&✏ @bec.piper.photography The striking leopard whipray! 💙 These rays can reach up to 1.4m across and 4.1m long. The leopard whipray unfortunately is categorised as vulnerable with a decreasing population. It is used for its cartilage and high value skin. Let's help save these species by refraining from buying any products made from it's skin and or cartilage and encourage others to do the same. 😢💙 . . . #sharkpassion #👉🦈❤ #whipray #leopardwhiprays #sharkdive #savesharks #rays #sharkdiving #shark #savemarinelife #ilovesharks #helpsavesharks #welovesharks #discoverocean #divingphoto #savethesharks #saveoursharks #sharkwater #sharks #underwater_world_  #underwatershots #uwphoto #underwatershot #uwpics #stopplasticpollution #underwaterpics #lovesharks #sharkdiver (at Indian Ocean) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwklMBaBCzn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17lwmcfo4r5rd
