Love them or hate them, we share the world with these wonderfully terrifying creatures. I've been stung (beyond definition of pain), the world lost it's best crocodile man (Steve Irwin)and yet, so many still want to play in the Caribbean with them. Stingray City, located just of the of Antigua appears to be the perfect painless place to get up close and personal with the Southern Stingray. Many adventure companies lead adventurous tourists to the shallow waters to feed, touch and even kiss your new friends. The Southern Stingray, known as the "puppy of the sea", loves attention and of course a tasty treat. The stingray's tail has a boney spine that is used for defensive purposes only to protect itself from predators when sleeping or relaxing. If the rays are unthreatened, they do not sting. Fortunately, Antigua has plenty of professional guides to educate those who wish to join the adventure of a lifetime. Are you brave enough????
