For the first time in scientific history, the wild smalleye stingray<\/a> has been located and tagged by researchers.<\/p>\n

The smalleye species is known for being the world\u2019s largest and rarest marine stingray \u2014 and was finally spotted in Mozambique.<\/a><\/p>\n

National Geographic explorer and ray expert Andrea Marshall set out off the coast of the Bazaruto Archipelago<\/a> in search of the rare stingray.<\/p>\n

After weeks of looking, Marshall spotted a smalleye in some shallow water, National Geographic (NatGeo) reported.<\/p>\n

She was able to dive in after it and touched it with a six-foot-long pole to extract a small skin sample from its underside.<\/p>\n

The stingray stayed calm, which was good news for Marshall.<\/p>\n

Smalleyes have a lethal stinging spine the length of a human forearm.<\/p>\n

One wrong move “would put us in mortal danger,” Marshall told NatGeo.<\/p>\n

Marshall is also the founder of the Mozambique-based Marine Megafauna Foundation.<\/p>\n

The fish, native to the Pacific Ocean, can grow up to 10 feet long and eight feet wide.<\/p>\n

The species earned the name “smalleyes” for their little raisin-sized eyes, said NatGeo.<\/p>\n

Since they’re so rarely spotted, smalleyes are likely a critically endangered species, that publication also said.<\/p>\n

Marshall and her colleagues spent the following months diving at dawn for other smalleyes along the Mozambican coast.<\/p>\n

The team tagged 11 smalleyes using both acoustic and satellite tags, in order to track long-distance travel and fine-scale movements.<\/p>\n

Although the mission was a success, Marshall shared with NatGeo that she and her team encountered a few close calls.<\/p>\n

This includes learning how the massive stingray can raise its stinger over its back and swing it around, much like a scorpion.<\/p>\n

Preliminary data shows that the stingray can dive more than 650 feet deep and swim hundreds of miles in a day, according to Marshall.<\/p>\n

Researchers hope that tagging these stingrays will provide an answer to why they travel as far as they do.<\/p>\n

The stingray’s diving depth could explain its extremely small eyes, since vision isn\u2019t as crucial down in the darkness, Marshall said.<\/p>\n

The tags reportedly revealed that the stingrays hang out near the reefs at night, which could mean they feed at dawn and dusk.<\/p>\n

Many questions remain regarding the behavior of smalleye stingrays; the International Union for Conservation of Nature lists the species as “data deficient.”<\/p>\n

Marshall\u2019s goal is to gather enough information to lead to better protections for smalleyes, NatGeo notes.<\/p>\n
