About Sharks & Rays

Sharks have patrolled Earth's oceans for more than 450 million years, long before the dinosaurs, shaped by the sea into one of nature's most efficient designs. Rays are their close cousins, built flat and wide, rippling through the water on wings that seem to fly. From the spotted nurse shark dozing on a sandy reef floor to the manta gliding beneath the surface like a living kite, these animals move with a grace that takes your breath away.
