What is Cownos Ray?

The

beam Cownos is a type of sea fish that lives near the North African and North American coasts in the Atlantic Ocean and throughout the Gulf of Mexico. The rays are characterized by fish with flat bodies in the shape of a dragon, which are the result of their wing fins and long tails similar to whips. One of the 42 types of beams, the scientific name for the Cownosa beam is rhinoptera bonasus .

also called cow or Skete, Cownos Ray derives its common name from its wide, cooperative nose. The smooth skin is brown above and white below and its tail spine, poisonous spikes common to all rays, are located near the base of the tail. These rays are usually about 36 inches (91.4 cm) in the total width and can weigh up to £ 50 (22.7 kg). The boards hold the columns of teeth mounted together to form a whole. The Cownos beam has seven series or columns of teeth. Each series has 11-13 teeth and teeth are either hexagonal, pentagonal, or tetragonal depending on their position nand board.

Primarily feeding molluscs, dental beam plates are ideal for crushing hard shells of its desired food. Cownos rays also feed on some crustaceans and bone fish. To feed, these rays tap the wings against the floor of the sand ocean to reveal their prey. This behavior is often seen in oysters and subsequently destroys beds.

Schools are often large, some numbering in millions and rays remain in schools throughout the year.

Although the spines of all beams are poisonous, the Cownos beam is not considered too dangerous to humans. These rays do not sit on the bottom of the ocean, as many other species do, so the danger of stepping on them is almost eliminated. Also, because their tail spine is located near the base of the tail, flashing the tail, which causes other rays to be dangerous. However, the attention of these animals should still be paid, as it is possible to be injured with tail spines.
