In our world of technology, social media, and constant stimulation, it’s nice to be reminded that Mother Nature still reigns supreme, and the bi-annual migration of the golden ray does just that. The golden ray, otherwise known as the cow-nosed ray, is a species of stingray that migrates in packs (or ‘fevers’) of 10,000 twice a year between Western Florida and the Yucatan Peninsula.
Take a look at these unbelievable images of the golden ray migration between western Florida and the Yucatan Peninsula.
The fevers of golden rays travel north in the late spring and then back south in late autumn.
Despite their delicate and harmless facade, their rays have poisonous stingers that can be lethal.
Golden Rays can grow up to 7 ft. across, and their razor-sharp stinger can grow to lengths of up to 15 in.
