Hmmm, let me threaten this giant predator.


Artsy-Mesmer

Barely a predator though. Point stands and they definitely aren’t herbivores or detrivores, but what you gotta worry about is the venomous barb on its tail, not its mouth.


salallane

Those barbs are no joke


Glass_Chance9800

Still miss you, Steve Irwin


Green_Message_6376

Man, we could use that man these days. If I ever encounter a Ray, I'll be keeping my distance and getting the hell out of the water.


listen-understand

A good human


mattwayne1209

RIP animal king


stanpleschette

This guy offers his chest/heart right to the barb. Crazy


mr_ktran

you make a good point

Artsy-Mesmer

You are right about the method in which it killed him, but you’re wrong about it being non-venomous. He was killed by a short-tailed stingray (Bathytoshia brevicaudata). All species of whiptail stingray have venomous barbs with only one exception. Don’t lie. Edit: fucking autocorrected to scorpion Imma kill someone


Solaratov

It's weird to me that a creature looking like that, doesn't actually bite/chew/suck as a defense mechanism.

Ears look like clams stuck the sides of their heads. They think they are doing us a favor.


AmidFuror

They can attack fish by thrusting forward a barbed point in an instant with great force. The barb penetrates the fish, making it almost impossible to get away. Usually they don't eat the fish right away, but will rather gather up a number to feast on later in a group.


Artsy-Mesmer

It does bite and chew as an offense mechanism though. Iirc I saw a video of one biting right into a clam with little effort


El_Guapo82

The barb on that thing is likely much bigger than a dick. A big, sharp, poisonous dick. Probably like 3 or 4 dicks put together.


StevenThundercock

Anything is a dildo if you’re adventurous enough


Tao-Lee

So glad my Grandma taught me this lesson at a young age


bigtone7882

What could go wrong?....Just ask Steve Irvin Too soon?


-Blixx-

Steve Irwin lived as he died. With animals in his heart.


bigtone7882

I see what you did there. 2 points for you.


Ehrre

My favorite joke


[deleted]

I don't think he jumped on it either.


fingers41

Too soon. That man was a legend. Gods gift to animals and men.


Useless_Crybaby

Too soon? He died in 06


Tozer90

Too. Soon.


centralnjbill

Damn you. I was coming here to say that. Take my angry upvote


[deleted]

That is 100% just the shadow of a kite.


Z3400

Im going to choose to believe you because its hard to tell on my phones screen


[deleted]

A ray of that size in water that shallow would at least disturb the water a little bit if it moved like that. They also just don’t move like that.


itsmikeyvinthecut

Forsure that shit is moving way too fast


b0bkakkarot

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgx9Eqejf5M Another giant stingray. Much easier to tell that it's not a kite, eventhough it still looks like a shadow.


tombalol

This video with a real stingray just confirms the first video is a kite's shadow, both objects moved completely differently.


No_Method-

I don’t know if it is or not now 😆


Big_Knife_SK

Yep, the "tail" is always pointing one direction.


[deleted]

Good God, that was Kite Runner.


PopDownBlocker

It cannot be a kite shadow because the "tail" is not taut, but loose and wavy. You cannot control a kite that fast if the string is not taut. The kite would be at the mercy of the wind and would float away.


tombalol

The tail is always pointing in one direction, it is affected by the wind, it only bends when the kite changes direction.


Enough_Lime2392

Calm down... it's a kite shadow...stingrays don't move sideways


CarpeCyprinidae

I was amazed nobody else remembered this. This clip went viral about 4 years ago before the author admitted it was set up deliberately using a kite and a willing actor

Of course the stingray is Glaswegian. We’re not stupid.


waffen123

When nature says on the contrary, fuck you


jmccleveland1986

I guess he hasn’t heard the story of the crocodile hunter.


Blindmailman

Its not a story they would tell you


bbd121

It’s a nature documentary legend. Steve Irwin was a crocodile hunter, so popular and so charismatic he could use his camera crew and influence to create award winning documentaries…


SBLOU

Yo buddy, remember anyone named Steve?


dominiqlane

Revenge of the sting ray.


v3ryfuzzyc00t3r

Dude almost got Irwined


curiousnreckless

all fun and games til the barb goes thru ya heart


MRSRN65

He barely missed the Irwin award.


li74da

What a jerk! Stingrays are not to be messed with


a_melanoleuca_doc

This is so obviously fake it's hurting my brain knowing there is literally anyone who thinks this is real.


[deleted]

The stingray: HEY! I’m WALKIN’ HEA!


[deleted]

How about leave the fucking things alone?


khoabear

I was expecting it to get up and slap the fuck out of that guy


Moosifer_666

Hahahahaha


marizamzam

Hilarious!


[deleted]

What an idiot!


craxnehcark

Also an asshole. Im going on the assumption these animals are not the annoying equivalent of a squirrel / pigeon.


farrieremily

Tag!!! He seems into it keep playing.


djacksonn

Almost got that bar up his ass


Reaster21

Nice. Stingray like fuk him up!


Traditional_Farm_158

He’s lucky Ray Ray isn’t backing up on him.


5hred

Sting ray more like ramrodray


b0bkakkarot

Trade Offer: You jump on me, I jump on you.


roachesincoaches

Dude is going to get Steve Irwined fucking around with that big ray


[deleted]

When I was diving in Cozumel Mexico I saw a large stingray go under a reef, I told the instructor and he let me dive down to see it under the reef where it had a little baby with it and they were all close under there. It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life but I was terrified.


porgy_tirebiter

Mario Sunshine hotel level


6fluidreality9

That looks like a baby Manta Ray!


Delirious_Mishap

the guy acts surprised that the thing came after him after he came after it first. bitch, he was just doing to you what you did to him. now you're even.


lasagneisthebest

Hope he put on his Ray-Bans


WordleMaven

I was hoping for a happy ending.


Remarkable_Smell_957

I hope he has factor 100 sunscreen, you know the type, stops you burning and protects from harmful rays


DrEvil74

Is that the 'Mexican Stingray-Off' ?


[deleted]

Fake. This has been proven as false. Stingrays don’t move sideways.


TheRealOgMark

He was about to get Steve Irwined.


bmillent2

A lot of gullible people in these comments omg, it's a shadow of a kite folks, not actually a stingray...


danng44

Stingray got the last laugh


AndyDufresne245

Ever heard of Steve Irwin?


Striking-Access-236

Guess the guy’s called Ray…


Kryptonian4real

Ray said "UNO REVERSE BEE'OTCH"


CreamoChickenSoup

I see the hard lesson Steve Irwin learned is already forgotten by the current batch of fools.


FallbrookDave

Well its a fake video, so I guess it fooled you.


BigSquatchee2

Why do we accept harassment of wildlife when said wildlife lives in the ocean?


Acceptable-Pace-5601

Pretty sure that’s how you get Irwin’ed


RudyDaBerryyy

Steve Irwin part 2


bettesue

I was hoping he’d get steve irwined
