Wright, Height and Diet
The white-spotted ray’s "front to back" height will grow to at least 8.8m ( Stinger included) and 3.5m in length from wing to wing. It can also reach a maximum weight of 230kg which is practically weightless in the ocean.
To find their prey they search around the ocean floor for clams, oysters, shrimps, octopus, squid and sea urchins.
