I am wondering why this female stingray is still in the quarantine area if she has had 4 litters of babies. How long do they keep them in quarantine? Or is the quarantine are not just a quarantine area?

I went to the zoo today

The baby stingrays were about four inches in diameter when we filmed. I tried to get a ruler in the shot so viewers could get an idea of the size, but the little guys had their own ideas about whether to pose near the ruler or not! Thank you for your comments.

I found this link on zooborns blog - these babies look great! I wonder what their diameter is... it's difficult to tell.

what type of freshwater stingrays are they?

[houstonzoo]

They are freshwater checkerboard stingrays.

Thanks for this behind-the-scenes information about really fascinating creatures.

I love the way they ripple through the water.
