Stingrays are called "stingrays" due to their distinctive feature: a sharp, venomous spine or "sting" located on their tails. This spine can deliver a painful sting as a defense mechanism against predators. The term "ray" comes from their flat, disc-shaped bodies that resemble rays of light. Together, the name reflects both their physical characteristics and their ability to inflict a painful sting.
