The Golden Ray Migration is a Sight to See

Whatever You Do: Do NOT Jump In The Water Right Now...OMG

A flock of migrating marine animals will leave you breathless with their ingenuity and sheer beauty.

#1 The Golden Ray Migration is a Sight to See

This is a unique species of stingray known as the Golden Ray, and what you are witnessing is one seriously massive migration.

#2 Don't Get Too Close or Touch, They Will Sting

While these rays contain a stinger that can at times be lethal, they only attack when seriously threatened.

#3 No, Those are not Sunken Kites. They are Rays, Lots of Rays

It is not often that we get to see such a massive school of marine life, of any kind, flocking together, but the Golden Ray is known to migrate in packs of nearly 10,000.

#4 Mingle at Your Own Risk

While they are not known to be aggressive unless provoked, it takes some Steve Irwin sized stones to dive into a water full of sting rays, we do not care what kind they are.

#5 Spot the Gold, Spot the Ray

As you might be able to tell from the photographs, the distinct golden hue which the Golden Rays possess is an eye-popping sight to those who encounter them.

#6 We've Got a Jumper!

No cause for concern, it is not THAT kind of jumper. But it does seem that the Golden Ray likes to take a fly out of the water from time to time.

#7 A Sight to Behold

If you happen to be cruising the waters of the Gulf of Mexico this summer, keep your eyes peeled. You might just catch a mass migration of Golden Rays.
