Stingrays are cartilaginous fishes, closely related to sharks. The sting rays normally have venomous barbs about 1/3 the way down their tails. These barbs removed before the animals go into the touch tank. The removal is similar to clipping your fingernails. The barbs will eventually grow back and be removed again!
