Commonly dispersed throughout the western Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean, cownose rays are a species of eagle ray that can grow to be just under four feet long. Although not particularly dangerous, cownose rays can use the barb on their tail to deliver a fairly weak toxin.

Characteristics: Despite their potentially surprising sting, we promise this model is safe to touch! Like all Safari wildlife figurines, our cownose ray model was individually hand painted and crafted with lifelike detail.
