 | | Many rays have spines on their tail which can poison other animals when stung. | | | Some body shapes are adapted for living on the sea bed; others are adapted for almost constant swimming. | | | Cartilage, a strong fibrous substance, is softer than bone; our nose and ears are made of cartilage. |

| | This stinger (spine) is situated on the tail close to the ray's body, so merely flicking the tail does not usually inflict damage. | | | Although there was no blood or apparent wound, his arm and shoulder swelled and he was in terrible pain. | | | Rays will also prey on oysters, hard clams and other invertebrates. |

| | More on Morphology |
| | The anatomy of ray-finned fish shows many of the characteristics common to all chordates: pharyngeal slits, a nerve cord, and body wall muscles arranged in myotomes, or segmented blocks. | | | A platelike structure, the operculum, covers the gills; this is not present in most Chondrichthyes (except for chimaeras). | | | As the name suggests, the fins are supported by parallel bony rays, which in life are webbed with thin tissue; the fins themselves contain very little muscle, and are primarily moved by muscles within the body. |

| | Ray-Finned Fish Provolves / Acties |
| | Actinopterygian or Ray-finned fishes (as opposed to lobe-finned, from which all Terragen land vertebrates are believed ultimately to be derived) were not originally considered by many to be promising candidates for provolution - being cold-blooded, small-brained, generally non-social, and lacking fine manipulators or anything that could easily be adapted as such. | | | Metabolism is generally increased, almost but usually not quite to warm-blooded levels, to provide more energy and improved temperature control to the augmented brain, and one or (occasionally) more extra layers of subcutaneous fat are added to better retain body heat in water. | | | In a notable minority of species, the female, after being fertilized, releases her eggs into a special pouch on the male's body (The male in this case is most often her mate, but any will do), who then incubates her (or eir) brood and carries it to term. |

Manta rays usually swim in pairs, and although they seem frightening, manta rays are so gentle that many will even let humans pet them. | | | Manta rays can be found browsing through sandflats in search of food or, sometimes, leaping clear out of the water. |
