Typical news - half right. Ray shown on TV was not a stingray, picture at that Cnn site is doctored because it is a stingray with painted on blue dots. Lt somebody says rays rarely jump. I lived in Miami for 5 years spent many weekends at Virginia Key and saw them jumping frequently - were probably not stingrays but cownose or eagle rays. the Pass between Virginia Key and Key Biscayne was full of different rays during Fall and Winter months. Grandpa got a one in 10 million chance of an evnt like that happening! Just MHO! (but pretty freaky)

From the AP article. This sounds a bit more plausible than a rogue stingray.
"Bertakis was apparently trying to remove the spotted eagle ray from the boat when he was stung, police Cmdr. Mike Oh said. The ray was approximately 3 feet across and 18 to 24 inches long, Oh said. Officials have kept the dead ray in case doctors need to examine it, Oh said."
Been there, done that, the washing machine ate the T-shirt

Rykat, that picture isn't doctored. It's a picture of a ray from the other side of the world. No joke.
So you were right about the media portrayal being bogus. They just got the picture from the wrong ocean.
A fish and a bird can fall in love, but where will they build their nest?
