Ken, I never opened this thread since I thought it was about a restaurant in Mulege!

Great shots: That Southern Ray in some congfigs is deadly. What's the difference?

Thanks Stickers. Southern sting rays are potentially dangerous. A southern sting ray killed Steve Irwin (The Crocodile Hunter). Irwin was snorkeling over one in very shallow water. It obviously felt threatened and nailed him through the heart with the barb. My pictures of my daughter Coleen with the rays were taken at a place called Stingray City in Grand Cayman. Stingray City is a big tourist attraction in the Caymans, and the rays are fed by divers and snorkelers in shallow water (5-15 ft) virtually every day, and have become very conditioned to being around humans. To my knowledge there has never been an incident at Stingray City.
