Old but Interesting

 A 75-pound spotted eagle ray leaps from the water in the Florida Keys, striking a woman riding in a boat, killing her. The stingray died from the impact. Officials say stingrays do leap from the water, but do not attack people.

ive never seen it in metro waters but up in shark bay around sunrise and sunset you sometimes see a ray jumping, they always trick me for a longtail.
