New Ribbontail Rays!
Ribbontail's Entrance from Newport Aquarium on Vimeo.
Surrounded By Sharks is better than ever with the addition of a new species - the ribbontail ray! Newport Aquarium is the only place in the Midwest to see this species of ray and 3 1/2 foot wide by 5 feet long Chip and Lettuce are really enjoying their new home.
Ribbontails are typically found in the Indo-West Pacific from the Red Sea and East Africa to Southern Japan, Micronesia and tropical Australia. While they are found near reefs, they can also favor a wide variety of habitats from shallow lagoons to outer reef slopes.
