    Encounters with wild animals

    Hi all
    Living on this planet is a privilege that we often take for granted and made more special when we have the opportunity to share it with other animals.
    This girl is one of the largest Stingrays that I have met. I had not seen her for 18 months and thought the worse but was really happy when she came to me to show me her young one who I think must be around 18 months old.

    Post any related photos or video's.

    Enjoy.

    Nice. We try to visit Vieques P.R. Once or twice per year and I spend much of my time snorkeling. Love to see stingrays...the spotted Eagle Rays are my favorite. I suspect that the reefs and their creatures are getting a nice break right now with reduced tourism. Hopefully we can get back next year. I bet it’s spectacular.
