Such a sad demise
I told Mom it was okay for her to check on my beach again today and look what she found - this is a Spotted Eagle Ray - which sadly is on the endangered species list. It doesn't show up well in the photos but it was a beautiful slate grey with wonderful turquoise blue spots and had such an unusual head and blue eyes. Sadly - it looks like a fisherman must of caught it while fishing on the breakwater and just left it on the sand - Mom doesn't understand why they couldn't of cut the line and just let it go - such a waste of a beautiful and unique life form. This one was just over 3 foot across (they can grow up to 10 feet across and weigh up to 500 pounds) You can read more about them here.

Mama has seen these beautiful creatures underwater...she would tell you all about them except her face is all red and there is smoke coming out of her ears..she is not happy with that fisherman.
ReplyDeleteThat is just wrong! Very sad!
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought that was a kind of dolphin. Too bad it was killed like that!
ReplyDeletePeople who do that should pay a great big fine for killing something like that. Love Dolly
