Pacific Electric Ray - Monterey Bay Aquarium

These rays can produce an electric current strong enough to stun prey and discourage predators. With this formidable defense, electric rays aren't shy - they're bold enough to approach and even chase divers. You can recognize them by their round, flabby bodies, tiny eyes, a gray or bluish-gray back with black spots, and a white underside.
