Stingray

 

Describes a group of rays that have one or more sharp, barbed spines near the base of their tail which they use to sting. Rays have a flat, diamond-shaped body and feed on the bottom of the ocean floor.

Eagle ray

 

The eagle ray, or whai keo in Māori, is a large, diamond-shaped ocean creature with long pointed pectoral fins, a long tail, and a distinct head.

Barb

 

A sharp object or spike which is especially difficult to remove.

Artery

 

A tube that carries blood from our heart to the rest of our body. Arteries are important because the blood they carry brings oxygen to the rest of the body and keeps us alive!
