The Cownose Ray’s Secret Danger Antenna
Unlike stingrays, which use their tails for defense, cownose rays rely on theirs as an extension of their lateral line sensory system, allowing them to sense predators even when they cannot see them.

Cownose ray uses its tail as a fine-tuned antenna, new study finds
The lateral line, they found, ran the length of the ray's body and was also connected to the ray's skin. The finding strongly suggests the tail is a sensory organ. The researchers suggest that it ...
