EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the grace and power of a Dasyatis brevis, or Southern Stingray, as it rests on the sandy shores of Floreana Island in the Galapagos. Part of a larger shoal, this cartilaginous fish has come ashore to feed on the abundant marine life found in the shallow waters along the coast. The Galapagos Islands, located in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Ecuador, South America, are renowned for their unique and diverse wildlife. The Southern Stingray is just one of many species of fish that call these islands home. With their distinctive barbed tails, these rays are both fascinating and intimidating, as they are capable of delivering a venomous sting to defend themselves. Despite their fearsome reputation, Southern Stingrays are an essential part of the coastal ecosystem. They play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy balance in the food chain and help to keep the populations of other marine species in check. This photograph by renowned wildlife photographer Bob Gibbons captures the beauty and mystery of the Southern Stingray in its natural habitat. It is a reminder of the incredible biodiversity that can be found in the waters surrounding the Galapagos Islands and the importance of preserving these precious ecosystems for future generations to enjoy.
