Malaysian fishermen recently caught 4 meters long, 280 kilograms of freshwater stingrays, and posted photos on the Internet, although it is very novel to see huge stingrays, but because this giant stingray (urogymnus polylepis) has been listed as an endangered species, the fishermen's behavior has been tarted by many netizens.
According to comprehensive foreign media reports, Azeri Hipni, a 42-year-old fisherman, said that in the early morning of the 14th, he and 3 other partners set the fishing net in the Sungai Lundu River and took an hour and a half to catch it, although he had also caught a giant stingray before, but this was the first time to catch such a big one, which he thought was a blessing.
Commonly known as stingrays, the Chaffy narrow-tailed stingray is the largest known stingray fish, the largest poisonous fish, with a maximum length of up to 4.2 meters and a width of 1.8 meters. It is not usually aggressive, but it is incredibly powerful, and will attack with a stinger on its tail when it encounters danger.
