Whiprays are a species of stingray with a distinctively shaped, rounded pectoral fin disc, a projecting snout, and a thin tail without fin folds. Its topside is colored brown and its bottom side is white. It may occasionally travel onto land and can technically breathe out of water for up to 7 minutes. This bottom-dwelling species is an active hunter of small fish and shrimp and typically found in tropical Australian rivers.
