Eagle Rays [Aetomylaeus]

Description

Aetomylaeus is a genus of eagle rays that are characterized by their distinctive body shape, broad, flat heads, and long, slender tails. These rays have a unique pattern of spots or other markings on their dorsal surface, which can be used for species identification. They inhabit a variety of marine environments, including coral reefs, sandy bottoms, and estuaries, where they feed on mollusks, crustaceans, and small fish. Their pectoral fins are large and wing-like, allowing them to 'fly' through the water.
