New Species of Stingray Discovered

  Two new species of freshwater stingray have been discovered. These rays are described as "pancakes with noses". They are informally called pancake stingrays. These specimens of stingray have mostly been found Rio Nanay, near Iquitos, Peru. The new stingrays are quite rare and according to biologist Nathan Lovejoy, who was part of the team that made this discovery, it took a considerable amount of time to collect enough specimens to accurately describe the rays.
  "The most important thing about this discovery tells us that there are quite likely to be other fish in the Amazon yet to be discovered and described." says Lovejoy.
  Below is an X-ray image of one of the rays.
