Spotted Eagle Ray
Aetobatus narinari
11.2995, 124.197
Field Notes
Description:
This was a medium-sized Spotted Eagle Ray of around 1.5 meters wing span. They are easy to identify with the spots on their back. They have long tails, which is longer than their body or wing span. They still have a venomous barb on their tail.
Habitat:
They can be found globally in the tropical region. In this spotting, they were sighted at the dive site called Monad Shoal which is famous for Thresher Sharks. This Eagle Ray is now resident to Monad Shoal.
Notes:
I saw this same Spotted Eagle Ray several times during the month of April however, in this particular instance, I noticed a fish hook on its head. This was probably quite recently as previous sightings of it earlier in April doesn't show the fish hook. I was able to get quite close to it like less than a meter distance but was not able to approach it to remove the fish hook :(
