  • Tit just jumps in and nearly lands on one >.>

  • Stingrays are graceful creatures and people need to learn that they dont sting on purpose, only if they are scared or stepped on.

  • Ctrl w to skip the add

  •  asss

  • i remember asking the dude if he can catch me a baby stingray so i can keep it as a pet lolz. when i was little i thought they were adorable, not scary.

  • lol they just float around all smiley face

  • @Darkoverlord101 i know LOL

  • I just got back from the caymans. We visited stingray city. The fear of these animals is ridiculous. The whole time they'd swim among you and let you touch and feel them. You could even hold them in your arms and they didn't even care. They were probably one of the most docile animals I've ever come across. They were one of the coolest things I've ever experienced. They're only dangerous if you accidentally step on them. It's not like they're constantly leaking poison or something stupid.

  • stingrays dont actually sting u right? they just stab and cut?

  • it was so fun going to sting ray city on the boat tour

  • wait i just have a question, if they come that close to you isn't it dangerous? like if there tail touches you does it still you or is it only if they want to sting you?

  • you have to poke and harass it persistently before it tries to sting you to death.

  • No, they just swim by you. They're extremely gentle and sweet. Where I went to swim with them, they just wanted something to eat. You have to threaten them for them to want to sting you.

  • no!

  • if you go to Barbados and go to Ocean PArk you can swim and feed the stingrays i did it is so much fun i recommend it !! :D

  • been there it was great i reccomend it

  • I'm so happy I live there. XD

  • ive been there its amazing

  • I wanna got there..

  • The rays come right up and rub against you, one of Cayman island's few must do's.

  • "CONSIDERED lethal? I think a Mr. Steve Irwin would have a thing or two to say about that"

    And I think Mr Irwin would also be the very first person to say that what happened was an accident. You, nor anyone else, has no way of knowing what happened that day.

    He loved all creatures very much and I doubt he would begin any kind of crusade against these gentle creatures

  • Yeah but it's very possible crocodiles are behind Chris Irwin's death cause the crocodile drug cartels wanted him dead and the money was no object.

  • BEEN THERE! If you go to the Grand Cayman. YOU HAVE TO DO THIS!

  • I have been fortunate enough to visit stingray city about 4 times now and it is absolutely amazing! Stingray are so beautiful and harmless.

  • Been here 3 times. They hear the boat motor and you just see a huge mass of black in the clear water heading your way. You hold frozen squid on your open palm in the water, and they sort of glide over your hand and suck up the squid. They are so rubbery. Never saw them as dangerous. Stingray City is in the Cayman Islands. Awesome diving till the last 2 hurricanes

  • ummm they are good

  • I wanna go there so bad

  • I remenber jumping like 10 feet out of the water when my cousin told me I was about to step in a stingray.

  • CONSIDERED lethal? I think a Mr. Steve Irwin would have a thing or two to say about that.

  • ive been there its sweet

  • i wanna go there

  • wow, i love how they swam up to him. are they sorta like dolphins, in their manner around humans?

  • I've been there, I got to swim with the sting rays. They are marvelously docile and beautiful creatures.

  • i know u guys like steve irwin..i like steve as well but u guys cant just go around blaming the stringrays for killing steve...and besides the stringray was trying to protect itself...thats its instinct...and those people who like killings animals so much...u sucks

  • true he would have lived if HE didnt pull out the stinger also

  • i cant really agree that steve would survive if he didnt pull out that stringer...cause that stringer already created a hole in his heart...so he might still be dead even if steve didnt pull out the stringer

  • he would have had a better chance of living though being in a hospital and all so yea

  • yeahs but even so the stinger is attached to the tail of the stringray and tail tail not detachable so either way steve would have to remove the stinger

  • OK.So people must dislike dogs too.Because sometimes dogs do kill people.Stingrays r amazing animals,just like dogs.

  • stingrays are hella annoying. my dad and I used to fish at this lake with this blow up boat and its tail popped our boat

  • rip steve irwin we all miss you

  • RIP steve we will miss you

  • rip Steve RIP.. <33

  • their bottoms look like happy faces.....

  • i agree when i was like 4 i use to get scared of them because of thier faces but now i im not affraid any more

  • Why are people who fucking serious?

    I say I eat Stingrays and I get a million thumb downs?

    What if I saw I like beef? Why do I get a million thumb ups?

  • i tried eating a stingray once, it didnt taste good. I dont know whats so good about eating stingrays.

  • sharks turned to sting rays

  • My comments were to theunknownknows and LovelyYTRocks

  • the stingray look like this ... ._.

  • I hope you're kidding if not You're an ASSHOLE.

  • I am an asshole. That aside, what made you think I was not joking? Could it be you're a misanthrope? Or just dumb? If I was killing a manatee a month, it would make fucking headlines. Do you even know what a manatee is? I hope you find your sense of humor. Life is better with one than without. Excuse me, I have to marinate the cat.

  • Some people really do hurt animals and actually take pleasure in it. It's just not something that's appropriate to joke about. I'm not dumb and I have a great sense of humor just not a perverted one. I didn't mean to offend you THAT much but think about what you say before you post it for others to see.

  • And i do know what a manatee is. They are one of my favorite animals. I'm not going to argue with you anymore. I have said all I want to say. One last thing why would my name be loves2laugh15 if I didn't love to laugh/

  • OK. But one more thing. Steve Irwin wanted attention and ratings. I live in S. Florida. Lots of HUGE rays and manatees (saw a mama and calf last year right next to a TriRail station) and I don't jump in and hug them. I leave them be. Muckin' with wild ones can kill or sicken or injure us AND them. So who's more wise and loving with critters, me the joker, or Steve the Crocodile Imprisoner?

    REAL conservationists let wild things be!

  • Steve worked his whole life trying to save species, he wouldnt want everyone just to go kill animals in revenge just beacause they killed him, it was a freak accident, just focus on his teachings not how he died

  • what happened to steve irwin was sad, but killing off a species doesn't solve anything, or make anything better. cuz it's not like they ALLL grouped up and killed him

  • what happen to him

    ??

  • oh, steve irwin was swimming underwater and he was stabbed in the chest by a stingray, even though he quickly took out the needle, the people couldn't save him in time :(

  • Idiots like you have killed lots of more important ppl and have driven lots of animals/vegetable species to extinction,, so itd be better to Kill n Fuck All Idiots,, and you re nicely included.

  • sting rays are also used to people at discovery cove in florida.

    their stingers are removed and i got to swim with 6 foot wide sting rays for a few hours

  • they killed steve irwin >:(

  • only about 4 people haave died from a stingray

  • hmmm pretty... I love sting rays, but its scary as hell if i'm up close to one

  • they should make their videos higher quality....

  • Been there! Done that and it was very Cool! A Guy jumped in and collected Conk Shells. He was under for what seemed like forever! I guess thats what comes of growing up there.

    Then Capitan Lee made a dip from Conk shells and then he tossed the left overs in for the Rays.They reminded me of weird shaped slimy kittens!We have a pic of one pulling me along while I held onto his wings!Great Video that brought back good memory's! I would recomend it to anyone.

    Thanks! obeedúid~

  • i just saw an article today in the toronto sun w/ a pic and it was easily 8 ft across. i think it said they can get as big as like 16. and carp 200kg. holy crap!

  • stingrays are very cool animals and i think it might be my favorite animal but that is so funny how it cant see what it is eating and i think that would not be fun and they are so much bigger then what i thought when you see at the end with the guy it looks huge! good video national geographic thank you

  • OMG!!!!1!! a hole city of Irwinators!!!!

  • *****

  • ive wanted to know this as well, i hope someone replies to this

  • steve Irwin: Crikey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • cool

  • haha fuck australia

    biggest molester of animals ever

  • I saw steve Irwin there

  • Thanks for posting this and allowing comments too. I got stung by one at Blacks Beach SD CA, hurt like hell. I was naked & was like no way I am getting an ambulance down here. Later, I ate one too, revenge can be tasty. xox

  • why were u naked with sting wrays...

  • Those nasty, little bastards. >:(

  • murderers

  • look at those murders...swimming around freely...please put them in jail!!!!

  • there was an exhibit once at a zoo near where i live where you could actually pet sting rays - they have a really particular texture, surprisingly soft!

  • potentially lethal? they killed the croc hunter!!! T_T

  • It was terrible that Steve Irwin was killed by a sting ray but it was an extremely rare case.

    Sting ray's normally would not kill a human, it was just the very small chance of where it hit him.

  • you play with fire your gonna get burnt.

  • Tell that to the guy down here in Florida. He got what Steve got, and HE was in a boat! A woman was killed by a jumping ray, smashed her head.I tell people, when you're ankle deep at the beach, you're in 6 inches of savage wilderness. Prepare to get fucked up.

  • Umm the only reason Steve Irwin was around a stingray was because he liked them and wanted the world to respect them and because of ignorant assholes like yourself, his point was in vain.

  • I make stingray fritters from the scraps after the fillet. They're not as good as conch fritters, but better than porpoise.

  • ok. I understand your point.

  • That's great ! Now stop by Saturday for some bald eagles and beer !
