  Sting ray
The most distinctive features of this sting ray, among other Gulf of Maine fishes, are its very long, whiplash-like tail without dorsal fins, and the long, saw-edged spine or spines with which the upper side of its tail is armed.
Large specimens are easily distinguishable from other sting rays of our Atlantic coast by their very thorny tails and by the large tubercles on the outer parts of their discs.
The only claim of this sting ray to mention here is that one was reported from Chatham on the outer shore of Cape Cod many years ago, and that it is said to have been seen on the shoaler parts of Georges Bank.

Other possible pain remedies include papain (papaya extract, contained in unseasoned powdered meat tenderizer), which may break down the protein of the toxins, though this may be more appropriate for jellyfish and similar stings.

They feed primarily on mollusks and crustaceans, or occasionally on smaller fish; rays settle on the bottom while feeding, sometimes leaving only the eyes and tail visible.

 ANIMAL BYTES - Rays
Male rays are easily distinguished from females by the presence of a pair of claspers (cigar shaped organs).
Reminiscent of birds in flight, some rays gently flap their enlarged pectoral fins, or "wings," to "fly" through and sometimes even leap out of the water.
Due to humankind’s impact on the marine environment, however, concern is mounting for the future of rays throughout their range.

 Sting Ray
They told me that these rays swim around the bay in pairs scavenging what they can from the fishermen.
The ray had decided to have a quick breather and had come to rest quite close to the bank.
With just a very little effort I managed to ease it over within reach of the gaggle of kids who had collected excitedly beside me. By now the fish was pretty upset with the way his afternoon was going, and started lashing out in all directions with its vicious looking tail.

 Travelocity : Travelers Network : Adventure at Sting Ray city
The first time I went to Sting Ray City on Grand Cayman, I stood on the boat, looking out at the crystal clear water thinking it was about the most beautiful place I had ever been until I noticed the large sting rays swimming towards the boat.
The story behind Sting Ray City is that the local fisherman began cleaning their catch just inside the cut in the reef on the north bay because the waters were so calm there.
But I quickly learned that the sting rays have bad eye sight, but an excellent sense of smell because they deserted me for those fellow divers who didn't mind the slimy feeling of frozen squid in their hands.
