Stingrays are cartilaginous fish related to sharks. Stingrays are carnivores and like to eat creatures smaller than they are. They feed mostly on things that live on or under the sand. They like shrimp, worms, clams, scraps and more.

Since most species of stingrays have eyes above and mouths below it makes sense that they stay closer to the ocean floor. If they did not do this they would be more vulnerable to predators. The reason is that they would not be able to see threats below them.

Natural predators of stingrays include seals, sharks and sea lions.
