| An ornate eagle ray spotted off the east coast of Australia (1) |
The Ornate Eagle Ray feeds on bottom dwelling animals like mollusks and crustaceans, they use their rostral lobes to grab it and then use their flattened plate teeth to crush them. (2) To avoid predators like sharks, they can blend into their surroundings because of the colour of their body and the flat nature of their body. They also use their ability to swim fast to out swim their predators. (8) The reproduction method Ornate Eagle Rays use is Ovoviviparity, which means the embryo develops inside eggs in the mothers body, and are born live. (5)(6)
