@AggieLady02 He is a Southern Stingray (Dasyatis americana) The zoo has a large tank that it keeps the retired stingrays in away from exhibit. This was filmed many yrs ago and hopefully Bob has lived them out in peace. :)
@moominkomet Thank you so much. We are setting up a new ray tank and I am in love with the sweet ray currently in the touch tank (not sure if he is also a Southern?). We are looking at Cortez, not sure how they vary from Southerns. I didn't know if they ever sold them to private homes etc. after retirement, but glad they don't keep them there forever. Bob seems to be a sweetie too. Thanks again for your help and prompt response!
Do you remember what species of ray Bob is? Also do you know where the "retired" rays go after the touch tank? Thanks! Great video

...seems these guys get huge. If Bob's replacement is the same species, he'd grow way too large.
