	ray, in zoology. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Rays feed on a variety of smaller animals; the heavy, rounded teeth of most species are adapted to crushing the shells of snails and clams.
		Unlike most rays, mantas are filter-feeders; the manta uses a pair of horns at the front of the head to drive small prey into its mouth; there the prey is caught in a strainer and swallowed, the water passing out through the manta’s gills.
		Electric rays, or torpedos (family Torpedinidae), have electric organs in their wings that generate electric current, used to immobilize prey and for defense.

	Anemaw [Animal Electromagnetism and Waves] : Bioelectricity: Electric Ray . © Elizabeth Gerrow 2002 .
		The electric ray is known to be the most electro-sensitive of all zoological organisms and their eyes are situated on the top of their head, providing for poor vision which must be balanced by use of other senses, including the detection of electricity.
		Many species of rays and skates outside the family of the electric ray have electric organs located in the tail, however, the electric ray possesses two large electric organs on each side of its head, where current passes from the lower to the upper surface of the body.
		It is with such a battery that an average electric ray may electrocute a large fish with a current between 50.0 amps to 50.0 to 60.0 V, to even 200.0 V, which gives the effect of a hair dryer being dropped into a tub of water.

		Ray was plucked from obscurity at the age of sixteen by Dewey "Howlin' Dog" Ballantine, the rebel graveyard shift DJ on Dogtown's WDOG station after making a vanity recording for his mother at the station's studio.
		Ray and his brother Jesse would often sit in the back pews of the Toccopola Episcopal Church which their mother was employed to clean, often while the choir rehearsed gospel and spiritual pieces.

	Electric ray - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Electric rays (order Torpediniformes) are fish that have a rounded body and a pair of organs capable of producing an electric discharge, which is used to stun or kill prey.
		Perhaps the most known members are those of the genus Torpedo, also called crampfish and numbfish, after which the device called a torpedo is named.
		The name comes from the Latin "torpere", to be stiffened or paralyzed, referring to the effect on someone who handles or steps on a living electric ray.

	Electric Ray - The IEE
		Electrical knowledge grew hand in hand with that of the inner workings of the human body.
		John Walsh examined the effects of the torpedo ray and concluded that there was a link, but this was greeted was scepticism because its shock failed to pass even a small gap or produce a spark.
		Henry Cavendish shed light on the matter by distinguishing between a quantity of electricity and its force, and the critics were finally silenced when Walsh produced a spark while experimenting with an electrical eel.

		As the electric organ discharges, the ray wraps its disc around the prey to concentrate the electric field and also to manipulate the fish to be eaten whole (head first).
		Small commercial fisheries catch electric rays for biological and medical researchers, and some are caught by accident in trawls and gill nets.
		Since contact with a ray’s electrical charge can cause numbness, ancient Romans and Greeks called these rays “numbfish.” They believed numbfish had therapeutic value and applied the rays to their bodies for treatment of gout, chronic headaches and other maladies.

	Re: How does an electric ray deliver his shock?
		Electic rays have special kidney shaped organs which are located on the main "disc" of the animal, just behind the eyes.
		One family of electric rays (Coffin rays) are so efficient at electricity production, you can get a nasty (but not fatal) shock from just pouring water over the animal.
		Bringing the whole thing back to the ecology of the animal; electric rays use their special talents to stun prey - most of them eat crabs, benthic worms and slow moving, bottom dwelling fish.

	HMS Student Papers 1989 - Insulation stragies in the pacific electric ray Torpedo californica (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Abstract: This paper explores three aspects of the Pacific electric ray Torpedo californica: the basic anatomy of this fish, how the torpedo insulates itself from its own shock, and whether the torpedo's electroreception can be used as a tool for learning.
		Using anatomical observations and skin resistance measurements, I set out to determine whether the torpedo's skin was different over the electric organs and non electric organ areas and how the torpedo insulates itself.
		I believe that the other important insulation tactics are use of cartilege to protect the brain, heart and nerves, connective tissue to protect peripheral nerves, and placement of muscles as far from the electric organs as possible.
