Lochmara Stingrays
When I was Resident Artist at Lochmara Lodge, I had an amazing experience with stingrays . I photographed and videoed them underwater and managed to capture them eating out of my hand. At first they would approach to see what I was all about, touching and inspecting what I had to offer. When they discovered it was food, they would come in to eat.
Their mouths have a row of tiny teeth in front and inside the mouth are more teeth to pull in the food. Their skin is like velvet - so beautifully soft.
