We have been so lucky and have been seeing Spotted Eagle Rays out at Tres Palmas Reserve so I thought I would highlight them today ❤️. 1. Spotted eagle rays grow to a maximum length of 16.4 feet (5 m), including the tail, and 507 pounds (230 kg). Their wingspan reaches a maximum width of 9.8 feet (3 m) from tip to tip.

2. Spotted eagle rays can be found from the surface to just over 196 feet (60 m) deep.

3. Spotted eagle rays can leap their entire bodies out of the water while swimming close to the surface.

4. Spotted eagle rays have venomous spines on their tails that are used in defense against threats.

5. Spotted eagle rays have plate-like teeth used to crush their preferred prey, including clams, oysters, sea urchins and shrimp. #rays #spottedeagleray #oceananimal #oceananimals #saveouroceans #saveourocean #saveourplanet🌍 #saveourplanet #supporttheocean #sealover #sealife #animals #trespalmas #puertorico #rincon #rincón #rinconpr #rincónpr #beautifulanimals #luckydivers #scubadiver #snorkeling #snorkel #snorkelingadventure ...

Nurse sharks (Ginglymostoma cirratum) are common in Puerto Rico’s waters, often seen resting on the seafloor or in caves, and are considered docile and harmless to humans.
Here’s a more detailed look at nurse sharks in Puerto Rico:
Common Occurrence:
Nurse sharks are a frequent sight in Puerto Rico’s coastal waters, particularly around reefs and sandy bottoms.
Docile Nature:
They are known for their calm and non-aggressive behavior, making them relatively safe to encounter while snorkeling or diving.
Habitat:
Nurse sharks are often found resting on the seafloor in sand or within caves and crevices during the day.
Feeding Habits:
They primarily feed on invertebrates like crustaceans and mollusks, which they “sift” out of the sediment.
Locally Known as “Gata”:
In Puerto Rico, nurse sharks are sometimes referred to as “gata”.
Conservation Efforts:
Organizations like the Caribbean Manatee Conservation Center and Conservación ConCiencia are involved in educating the public and conducting research to protect sharks and other marine life, including nurse sharks.
