When I tell people I study stingrays, the usual response is "but a stingray killed Steve Irwin!" And now, that's all they are known for. But are they really that dangerous? I break it down in this video. I also show how stingrays are so much more than their sting and provide five really cool facts about stingrays so you can know so much more about them than the Steve Irwin incident!

Stingray photo in the cover was shot by the incredibly talented Rainer von Brandis.
