Cownose Rays can reach up to 7 feet wide from wingtip to wingtip. They live in the warm waters of the western Atlantic, from New England to South America's northern coast. The special crease where their fins meet gives them a cow - like face. Unlike many ocean creatures facing population drops, Cownose Rays are growing in number. They're related to Manta Rays, Bat Rays, and Spotted Eagle Rays but are a distinct species. Their old name meant nose wing, and the current scientific name, Rhinoptera bonasus, means bison wing. They got their nickname from the indentation between wings that looks like a cow's muzzle. These Cownose Rays with a flexible stinger and flapping wings look all set to swim. Ideal for school ocean projects, or as prizes and decorations for ocean - themed parties. Each mini Cownose Ray is about an inch long, similar to a nickel with a tail.

These cute Lucky Miniature Cownose Rays are great for adding a touch of the ocean to your projects or parties. For school ocean projects, you can place them in a diorama or an artificial ocean setting. As prizes or decorations for an ocean - themed party, just scatter them around or attach them to party favors. There aren't many special care requirements, but keep them away from sharp objects to avoid any damage. If they get dirty, you can gently wipe them with a soft, dry cloth. Have fun using these minis to bring the ocean to life!
