The Esteros del Ibera wetlands in Argentina are home to astonishing numbers of freshwater rays, including the ocellated or spotted freshwater stingray (Potamotrygon motoro) and the rare short tailed stingray (Potamotrygon brachyura). Check out this video to see dozens of stingrays in a deep channel of the wetlands.

Enjoyable as always and informative... had no idea that they could get so large.

Have you seen the ones from SE Asia? They make these giants seem small.

I was going to ask if freshwater stingrays were found on other continents but before I did I came to the comments and now I know to look, @@EdToml

the Esteros del Ibera is a protected wetland, but of course the industrial soy bean farms are not good news.

very cool to see P. brachyura footage. I wish there were more available. I would love to see Heliotrygon and paratrygon in the wild one day

@belowwater 3 ай бұрын

too big, and soon to be on the endangered species list I think. Never seen Heliotrygon or Paratrygon in clear enough water, usually it is too sediment rich to see far.

As a fisherman, this would be a great stingray to catch, respectfully.

can yo do a video on G. carapo?

@OregonOutdoorsChris 11 ай бұрын

Amazing! What do they eat there to sustain such a large population? My perhaps naïve assumption is clams and shrimp, but I'm not seeing bits of clam shells in the video.

@belowwater 11 ай бұрын

huge numbers of apple snails, there are also lots of snail kites there ( _Rostrhamus sociabilis_ )
