Javanese Cownose Rays. They are reminiscent of Manta Rays or Sea Devils (fig.), but are easily distinguished by their odd-looking heads, which feature a double-lobed snout and indented forehead.

Like most rays, it has a flattened, somewhat kite-shaped body, which is dark above and white below.

They have a long, thin, whip-like tail, which is distinctly demarcated from the body and armed with one or more stings. This species is also known as the Flapnose Ray.
