Southern Stingray

Hypanus americanus

Habitat:

Inshore, usually found in shallow water (to 80 feet) lying partially buried on the sandy bottom or gliding just above. This juvenile was found in sea grass bottom of a public beach with large patches of sand.

Notes:

Snorkeling around in the shallow sea grass of a local beach, I came across this young Stingray partly buried in the sand. I have seen yellow stingrays here before but never a southern stingray. It was a small young one about the size of a dinner plate.
