Video of Stingrays at Calgary Zoo

[TRIX]

I haven't seen this display yet and can't wait till I do, also I don't know much about Ray's, So this is a uneducated rant. My biggest problem is when I see any animal enclosure is "Do I think it is asthetically pleasing" not does it reproduce the habitat that this animal would live in in the wild. When I see Ray's on TV they are alway's either under the sand or swimmiing in wide open water. Although having a really beautiful rock display would look pretty, would it be the best replication of their environment in the wild. The elephant display doesn't look amazing. A beautiful mountain background would look nice but elephants don't climb mountains. When I set up my tanks I try to make it look nice but sometimes forget about flow and dead spots. I don't mean to attack anyone's opinion I just know that sometimes I need to reasses my thoughts from pretty to practical. So enough of me talking out my arse. I better go see this display.
