🎉 FIN FEST FUN FACT FRIDAY 🐠

Fin Fest is running now through August 11, and we’re celebrating with a fun fact about one of our freshwater favorites.

Did you know ocellate river stingrays are masters of camouflage? They often bury themselves beneath the sand, leaving only ...their eyes visible while they wait for prey or stay hidden from predators. If you don’t look closely, you might swim right past one!

Visit us during Fin Fest and see if you can spot river stingrays the next time you’re exploring the habitats!
