If That Isn't The Most Perfect Description Of What A Bat Ray Feels Like I Don't Know What Is - Tumblr Posts

One time, when I visited with my partner, we were talking to one of the volunteers at the bat ray exhibit, and they remembered a time when a little girl described the feeling of the bat rays as: "Soft, Wet Velvet"

We just want to put these on your ray-dar 😉

Bat rays call coral reefs, kelp forests, and sandy-bottom bays their home. One of these habitats is our very own local wetland, the Elkhorn Slough–home to southern sea otters, thousands of migratory birds, and an important nursery and feeding grounds for bat rays. 

By raising awareness of these animals, voting, and letting our elected leaders at the local, state, and federal levels know we support legislation that protects these ecosystems, we can ensure that bat rays continue to thrive in their environment.
