(Potamotrygon falkneri) Sometimes known as an otorongo ray or a jaguar ray, this colourful and spotty species of stingray dwells on the river bed in the Amazon. Like all freshwater stingrays it possesses a venomous sting in it’s tail, which it uses to strike it’s predators. In the wild it is known to wary fishermen who will often step on it by mistake!
These rays have beautiful spotty patterns across the top of their bodies, similar to that of a jaguar.
Our standard day tickets allow you to come around the aquarium as many times as you please during our opening hours on the day of your visit.
