The black-spotted electric ray is a marine fish with a flat disk-shaped body. It lives on the bottom of warm seas and uses special organs to generate electric discharges to stun prey and defend itself.
The black-spotted electric ray differs from related species by a characteristic pattern of dark spots on the body. It is important for marine nature as a predator that controls the population of small animals on the bottom.
Legendary longevity: over 100 years. Galapagos tortoises, Greenland sharks, ocean quahogs celebrate with family once every 4 years
