Yucatan Golden Rays on a Mass Migration

Category: NatureLand: What They Used to Call the Environment
Posted on: September 13, 2008 10:30 AM, by Benjamin Cohen

The same guy who sent me those Patagonian Volcano Storm pictures (thanks Dana, by the way) also forwarded these images of a mass migration of stingrays. To quote the note I got, they look "like giant leaves floating in the sea." I first thought it was some kind of quilt, a checkered pattern on a blanket. The pictures were taken off the Yucatan Peninsula by Sandra Critelli.
