LIVING ON THE BOTTOM
The flattened body of a ray is an adaptation for life on the bottom
of the sea. Most rays feed on animals on the seabed, and so their
mouths are on the undersides of their bodies. They have flat
teeth, which they use to grasp and then grind food. The features
that resemble eyes are actually the ray’s nostrils.
