BBC Films Giant Stingray
Sunday, November 15th, 2009
An underwater camera crew filming for the BBC has recorded a smalleye stingray swimming off the coast of Mozambique.
The smalleye stingray is the largest of all 70 species of stingray… more than 7 ft wide. The elusive creature, first discovered in 1908, has only ever been seen alive off Tofo in southern Mozambique.
Film of a live specimen was recorded by an underwater film crew working for independent production company Big Wave productions, which was making a documentary about manta rays with Dr Marshall.
The footage was shot as part of the programme “Andrea: Queen of the Mantas” for the BBC documentary series Natural World.
