Habitat

The Stingrays habitat is in the coastal tropical area and many hide in the sand. Stingrays are not aggressive, they will only attack if they have been stepped on, aggravated or threatened. A lot of tourist swim and dive in the areas that these stingray live, and when there are people in their territory, of course they will attack.


Stingrays love the ocean floor. It’s where they spend most of their life. Why? It’s where they hunt and live.

 

Sting rays especially like sand and muddy bottoms. They live pretty deep down, too. They can be as far down as 91 meters and as high as 22 meters. They also like rocky coral reefs, such as the ones you can find in the Caribbean.
