Very cool photo! I’ve never seen that before. It looks as though they have little legs and feet in there. ---

Those are really cute. The trouble starts when we discover that’s actually a picture of alien space invaders & those critters are 500 feet on a side with a taste for bon bon-sized hairless fangless clawless Earth bipeds. ---

Well, kudos to whoever wrote it, then. Great caption. Great photo, too! GQ question: are what looks like legs the vestigial bones? ---

> [@Freudian\_Slit](#): > > I never realized they had eyes/faces on the bottom…world…blown. Stingrays’ eyes are on the top. The ‘eyes’ next to the mouth are nostrils - stingrays, like the related sharks, have a pretty good sense of smell, which they use to find food.
