Brilliant underwater footage shot by renowned marine cinematographer Tom Campbell

[subscriber44]

I was fucking close to that thing! I was on vacation, and me and my dad were on a beach, and i went diving for a few minutes, and suddenly i saw a huge ass stingray!

[AlmondsAlmonguera]

How do you not get scared infront of that huge thing...? Haha.

[Ratama]

oh yeah this wasn't staged at all.

[blahdiblah2010]

@Ratama lol

[dustobusto]

0:33 ON GUARD!

[Randomizer903]

@dustobusto it's spelled "en garde"

[dustobusto]

@Randomizer903 Oh right. I thought I spelled that wrong. Thanks for the clarifucayshun :P

[Psychoekel]

holy shiiit

[akamaster09]

that things smalll!!!!!!!! its fuckin 5 times bigger than that guy

[ParallelSolutions]

That's not the biggest stingray in the ocean.

Smooth stingrays are the biggest in the ocean with total lengths up to 4.5m

[lindswah007]

The barb of a ray is a purely defensive feature. They never attack things. In other words, the only way that you would get barbed is if you were severely messing with it! I would feel much safer swimming next to a sting ray than getting into a car.

[astronomY233]

it was one of these very big sting rays that killed steve irwin

[MrUraniumProductions]

if you guys like stingrays then check out my channel and if you like it SUBSCRIBE

[Linaver]

Yes, you can eat them.

[FastJohnnyNardGard]

Damn, BBC blocks my ability to watch so many good things that they have. Our science and nature channels are slipping and have tons of filler programming. I want to see some BBC nature programming, but my country is blocked from a lot of it, so I have to resort to English proxies to watch it. Why is that?

[Cd3]

you're not allowed to see how beautiful the world is. It festers unrest withing the country

[timledzeppe]

@larrypfingsten qwerty

[larrypfingsten]

[shoxite]

Defintition:

sting⋅ray (sting-rey)

noun

Stingrays are fishes with wings. They fly underwater.

LMAO

Heres the real definition:

noun

any of the rays, esp. of the family Dasyatidae, having a long, flexible tail armed near the base with a strong, serrated bony spine with which they can inflict painful wounds.

[jorgeroxs47]

how do these things sting you?

[minion023]

[medaguy123]

The most wanted stingray in the ocean for killing steve irwin and those divers didnt do shit. They let it get away.

[Jebus170]

[c1ick0rdi3]

@Jebus170 the only reason why it's deadly is because they are poisonous.

[GAMBlT]

"...god blind me..."

[Bucks2Star440]

LOL He didn't say "Blind Me" He said "Blimey" It's slang, it's like 'wow' or 'oh my God'

[ableiman]

Dear BBC - This is a small-eyed stingray. Not a manta ray. The info in the description is all wrong.

[theygunaHATEME]

fuck you Nazi's

[greenjellu]

imagine getting stung by that thing, would be better than elephant tranquilizer

[eLLriDe420]

[J4jackass]

That can kill an Elephant...

[MiiZzJ0kEr]

either way, ocean life is so awesome. especially those real crazy things that lie on the ocean floor 25000 feet down.

[littlebeartoe]

You can get better video yourself on an spare afternoon off the coast of the big island of Hawaii. Tourists there do it every day. I had mantas within inches of me but didn't take any video.

[Josuatik]

[reena8pokemon]

[stinkysnak7]

I thought it was pretty amazing

[AwesomePictures]

completly agree.

[itsaguinness]

OOOOOOOOOO!

[ECTBWHO]

: )

[lukewallace87]

I love Manta Rays, I've swam with them in Discovery Cove, Florida... Amazing :)

[soulf2]

Those were sting rays and eagle rays at Discovery cove. Still amazing, but very different from manta rays.

[lukewallace87]

Oh really? Have you swam with them before in Discovery Cove, its awesome!

[soulf2]

Discovery Cove is an awesome place to visit. I had a great time there (as everyone that goes does).

I live in South Florida and sting rays are very common on the coast. I have seen many large Sothern sting rays (up to 6.5 ft across). But the 8+ft Small-eyed stingray in this video is huge!

As for the Manta ray, they are the true giants and can grow to more than 7.6 metres (25 ft) across.

[petnousi]

Holy cow - thats huge and yet so graceful...

[kajjagoogoo]

holy shit thats a big creature.

[Animespara]

how beautiful..
