The ocean is full of incredible animals. Some we are more familiar with, like the dolphin or the whale. Others we might not even know exist. We know when we are sailing across the ocean, that there are thousands of animals below us. Imagine sitting on your boat when you look below to see something you have never seen before. These are incredibly rare ocean photos because it only happens twice a year. What you are about to witness is the migration of the Golden Ray. These fascinating creatures travel together by the thousands on their annual migrations to warmer waters. These graceful water creates will travel in groups of up to 10 thousand. To appreciate how much room they take up, I will tell you this. Each Golden Ray is about 6 feet across. They are some pretty big animals.
What is that?
It is thousands of golden rays. Yes, I said thousands.
Twice a year, the golden rays migrate to warmer waters.
To appreciate these rare ocean photos a little bit more, each ray is about 6 feet long in size, and there are about 10 thousand of them traveling together.
As they move along the surface, it makes the ocean appear golden.
A ray has a stinger to fight off its attackers and it is extremely poisonous.
But they will only use it if they feel cornered.
What an amazing sight to see.
It does only happen twice a year, so it is a rare event to witness in person. The beauty of nature around us is really something that we should all try to appreciate more throughout our daily lives. These rare ocean photos make me want to see a lot more of the wonderful world we live in.
