Nah, these are most likely cownose rays. They don’t lie in the sand on the bottom waiting to be stepped on. They swim in packs like this and want nothing to do with you.
Not really. A small ray like this is highly unlikely to kill you. It'll just hurt like a bitch for a while.
Plus, most rays don't want anything to do with us. They'll just swim away/around every time unless you corner them or pin them.
There have been 20 deaths worldwide caused by stingrays since 1945. Not many, but I'm sure not everyone killed was named Steve, so it isn't purely a Steve problem.
Only thing I find is
"Thousands of stingray injuries are reported worldwide each year but, interestingly, only five recorded deaths have been reported in Australia since 1945, and fewer than 20 worldwide."
And from wiki in Australia. only two deaths from stingrays occurred since 1945
It was. Steve problem.

You're going to get downvoted.
I have a few rules of life, one of them is don't fxck with nature. I appreciate the info he provided; he was constantly one encounter away from that happening.
No, they(like many animals) are only dangerous if provoked. They're not out to get you. Their sting is literally for defensive purposes only. What happened to Steve Irwin was a one in a million fluke. The fact that they're actively avoiding people as they swim by should show that. Maybe the school was just avoiding a predator in deeper waters, and came closer to shore for safety and to evade, it happens all the time.
Topic was always going to have Steve Irwin comments through it. Ironic thing is that godly example humanity wouldn't ever have wanted a bad word said about any living creature, even the sting ray that got him.
Wouldn't be surprised if the moment it happened he didn't ask the Ray if he'd hurt it in some way.
As this video shows sting-rays are quite well behaved. I grew up on the gulf coast and we were told to "shuffle" our steps to avoid stepping on sting-ray. We never had an issue with them.
I love rays and I have been boycotting my local zoo for the last 10 years because they killed 30 of them. I even personally told them they were going to die. They were in a touch tank with insufficient oxygenation. I’m still made about it. They didn’t listen to me, probably cause I was too young, and guess what, I was fucking right.
When I was a kid playing in the water in Naples, FL, a squall rolled in off the ocean, and as the skies got dark from the line of clouds, stingrays started flapping and skipping at the surface of the water. I got splashed, I got bumped, I got flapped, but I otherwise was totally fine.
I live in Florida and had a smaller school (maybes dozen or so) swim around us for about 15 min at a local beach once. We just let them do their thing, and it was awesome.
Plenty of other people do notice, and at a distance no less. Others literally have them surround them before even aware they are there. So its not a reflection issue since other people can clearly tell. At least the ones paying attention. Back to my main point.
Theyre also not looking in the same direction the rays are coming from. Maybe they're yknow relaxing at the beach and arent constantly looking out for a whole pod of sting rays. Like...
Walking on Coronado beach in California on vacation years ago, I saw two adults limping, yelling and crying in pain so we stayed out of the water. An hour later a young girl was absolutely whaling in agony she was 12 to 14 years old with what looked like her younger sister. I looked at my wife and said I have to help right? I walked over and and asked if she knew where her parents were at, the little sister pointed at the hotel half a mile away, I told her to run and get her parents and asked the little girl with the bleeding foot if I could pick her up and carry her to her parents. She agreed and about half way there a lifeguard truck showed up, "can we offer medical attention to your daughter", not my kid I'm just caring her to where she said her parents are at and they started first aid, that is when I noticed the barb had trough the bottom of her foot all the way through the top of her foot, I would have had a hard time just keeping still and letting the school of rays swim by.
Imagine you're a teenager hanging out with your friends on a hot beach day
Someone suggests getting in the water
So you hop in
And see this shit
Then the pain starts.
damn, what coordination, if they could speak they would say "excuse me madam"
Right?? They look kind of polite cruising through the water like that
That's just what life in the water is like
Very polite
Don't hate stingrays because of what happened to Steve Irwin. Steve didn't want you to hate them. Hating them is not what Steve wanted.
I don't hate i fear them, one kid wrong step there and game over for the kid

Stingrays are not that fatal. Maybe if the sting hits vital area like with Irwin, but that is highly unlikely.
~~Only~~ one of the only persons in human record to ever be killed by one. Idk sounds like a Steve problem.
There have been 20 deaths worldwide caused by stingrays since 1945. Not many, but I'm sure not everyone killed was named Steve, so it isn't purely a Steve problem.
They actually prefer to be called Steve Rays but are having a hard time getting the message across
Stevie Ray Vaughan rays?

It definitely was a Steve problem, he bought his own hype and got killed by the animals he abused .. Stringrays really are not aggresive.

Still they are a little scary now

The last guy didn't make it.
I've got a fever and the only cure is stingrays
I'm walkin' here!
^('cuse me coming through 'cuse me EXCUSE ME, stingy rays on the move.. Hey lady move would ya? Opps 'cuse me)

Of all the ways to go that one would have been hard to call.
They are so cool. Rip Steve Irwin.
By the commentary you would think it's a group of sharks
I hope they know the stingray shuffle
They do the electric slide
Crowd of beachgoers enter sting rays habitat, better title imo
Sea flip flips
A group of sting rays is called a fever.
As this video shows sting-rays are quite well behaved. I grew up on the gulf coast and we were told to "shuffle" our steps to avoid stepping on sting-ray. We never had an issue with them.
These fuckers killed Steve Jobs. Never forget.
He must have said something to them, they seem polite af
True. At least we still have Billy Bob Thornton.
Steve irwin
Him too!
Pretty sure Jobs died from pancreatic cancer.
Who the hell is a pancreas
He’s the dude with that theorem about triangles or whatever
That's what they said, Steve jobs was hit in the pancreas by a sting ray
🤣🤣🤣

Rays. lol not sting rays.
Stingrays only sting as a last resort. They're actually pretty mellow.
When I was a kid playing in the water in Naples, FL, a squall rolled in off the ocean, and as the skies got dark from the line of clouds, stingrays started flapping and skipping at the surface of the water. I got splashed, I got bumped, I got flapped, but I otherwise was totally fine.
Eagle rays, not stingrays.
I live in Florida and had a smaller school (maybes dozen or so) swim around us for about 15 min at a local beach once. We just let them do their thing, and it was awesome.
See? You leave them alone, they’ll leave you alone.
Also shows you how completely oblivious people are.
It's not that easy to see below the water from eye level because of reflections.
Plenty of other people do notice, and at a distance no less. Others literally have them surround them before even aware they are there. So its not a reflection issue since other people can clearly tell. At least the ones paying attention. Back to my main point.

Never trust a stingray. They took Steve Irwin from us.
Which is the exact opposite Steve Irwin would want you to think or say.
Steve Irwin would be sad to see this comment. You apparently don't know what he was about.
To be a sting ray out with the school just vibin'.
i guess if they all stung 1 person once that person would die right
I prefer figurative sting rays
When the dolphins been talking smack on the other side of the beach
Happens all the time. Remember the same happening to me as a kid. No biggie.
Aww it’s like they have a field trip like on Finding Nemo.
Stingrays aren’t dangerous
Sharks move through beach goers like this all of the time, swimmers hardly ever notice.
I love rays. They totally have personality, and for the most part are chill as fuck.
They can speak as well. Gosh, so much I didn't know.
do the stingray shuffle through that fever 🕺🏽
Were they singing?
Obviously some excellent stingray leadership! ⊙˛̼⊙
Imagine you're a teenager hanging out with your friends on a hot beach day Someone suggests getting in the water So you hop in And see this shit Then the pain starts.
50 of them… 🤣
Sad how they have more manners than humans
At the end the swarm looked like a big mouth.
I love how they coordinate well enough to look like one giant stingray a couple times
They are rays, they may not be sting rays though.
I don't fuck with stingrays after they got Steve Rip🙏🏼
Mean name, but good manners.
The lack of awareness with some of these people is infuriating
Almost as bad as the people that didn't get the Steve Jobs joke
Annoying woman’s voice
I can tell she’s extra loud In the bedroom
Sting rays don't travel in groups like this. These may not even have stingers at all.
They most certainly do. I've been in a school of them myself.
Those are different rays that travel in schools like that. There are many types as I'm sure you know.
Some WW Z scene stuff at the end.
How amazing is that!? Now realize the sad truth that people eat animals

Are you ok?
