    Playing With Stingrays

    Yesterday I took my family to the Toronto Zoo. I have been there many times but since it opened in the 70's and although many things stay the same, they are always improving. It sits on over 700 acres and is a lot of walking(phew!). The big attraction is a huge pool filled with stingrays that you can "pet" as they swin past. Anyway, here are a couple of pics.

      Steve Irwin should have settled for that place.

          That is very cool to do Richard. Sea World in Florida has a similar tank. I couldn't get my oldest to touch them though.

          The chief cause of failure in this life is giving up what you want most for what you want at the moment.

              If you ever go to Grand Cayman, you should do the StingRay cruise. You go out into the middle of the bay on one side of the island and step off the back of the boat on a sand bar. The guides bring pieces of squid and the manta rays swim up to beg. You hold a piece of squid in the water and the ray will vacumn it out. We brought underwater cameras (the cheap disposalable kind) and got some shots. The rays were as big as 7 feet across. I didn't think it would be much fun but I was wrong. Water is about waist deep and warm. Rays are essentially harmless but entertaining.
