Steve Irwin is dead

Re: Steve Irwin is dead

Takes down full sized alligators and crocs, but got defeated by a tiny sting ray. O, the irony.

The short-tail stingray, Dasyatis brevicaudata, is a stingray of the family Dasyatidae, found on the continental shelf in the Indian Ocean, and around temperate and subtropical coasts of Australia and New Zealand, at depths of up to 470 m. Its length is up to 430 cm, and it is reputed to be the largest stingray in the world, weighing more than 350 kg.

There are often 2 stings, the front one small, the rear one huge, which bear toxin glands.

It frequently raises its tail in a scorpion-like fashion when approached, but is considered more inquisitive than aggressive. The barbed tail can inflict a severe or potentially fatal wound however.

Umm, nevermind, thought it was the size of the ones I've seen up close.

Re: Steve Irwin is dead

It is really really sad, I loved Steve Irwin. I actually felt terrible for laughing at these but I really couldn't help it.




Edit: How fitting that this would be my 666th post.

Re: Steve Irwin is dead

Yea, i've hand fed sting rays before and they never seemed violent whatsoever, unless you count the biting of fingers violence. Still, pretty young for him to leave his family behind too. Wonder if they'll do a live funeral on tv or something for him.

I was watching the new and they told about it, they said that normally a sting ray isn't a violent animal, unless you swim too close or it feel threatened. They said that he was swam right above the sting ray, it wasn't that is was aggressive, the sting ray felt threatened when he swam too close.
