Stingrays



There are several different kinds of stingray native to Florida.
This one is called the Cownose. Why? Because it's nose
looks like a cow. It's a migratory fish. That's right it's a fish.
It's related to what other fish? Sharks! That's right. These fish
migrate. Do you know what migrate means? Seasonally, the stingray
moves back and forth between Florida and Mexico. This is called
migration. Many people in the US move back and forth between the
northern states and the southern states seasonally.
What do you call them? We call them 'snowbirds'.
Many kinds of birds also behave this way.
The people are like the migratory birds.


Look at all the stingrays. What's this 'group called?
Is it a school of stingray? Is it a pod of stingray?
What's the answer?
(please see the lemur for the answer)
