Stingrays | Kids educational video

Today we're learning about stingrays. Stingrays are fishes that live in the ocean. They come in different shapes and sizes and have parts called gills that help them breathe underwater. They have five pairs of gills that let them take oxygen from the water and release carbon dioxide. They have funny looking bodies that are flat and can be different shapes which helps them hide in the sand or mud at the bottom of the ocean. It also helps them swim smoothly through the water. Stingrays have a special kind of skeleton called cartilage which is flexible and bendy. It's like having a body made of rubber. Their mouths are on the bottom of their bodies while their eyes and little holes called spiracles are on top. The spiracles let water in so they can breathe even when buried in the sand. Stingrays have special sensors on their head called the ampullae of Lorenzini which can feel electrical signals from other animals. It's like having a secret power to detect things that we can't see. At the end of their tails stingrays have mongrel-like structures with stingers. The stinger can have venom a special kind of poison which they use to protect themselves from predators.
