Largest sighted black ray
[edit]A Thorntail ray of about 3m wide lives in Gqeberha harbor(Algoa bay harbour) . It visits the fishing club there to scavange the guts and scraps discarded by the recreational fisherman into the water when they clean the fish they catch. I estimate 3m as the support pillars of the bridge that leads to the jetty are 2,5m apart and that specific one cannot fit through the pillars. It is the biggest of about five thorntail rays that live in the Harbour. I think due to its diet consisting of fish guts being richer than thier natural diet as well as it eating much more frequently than truely wild rays contributed to its abnormaly enormous size.
