Ray Possibly Aborting Her Young Due To Stress
You might have come across viral videos of a shark or a ray giving birth to a litter on the beach in the hands of a person. These videos are not as cute as they appear. There's a high chance the animal is actually aborting her litter. A study published in the journal Biological Conservation has found that rays and sharks frequently abort their young when they are captured due to stress. If late enough in the pregnancy, the litter might survive. However, in many cases, the young can die. Around 60 percent of shark species and all rays bear live young. An average of 24 percent of pregnant females from the 88 different live-bearing species studied were found to give birth prematurely. In some species, it occurred more often; stingrays aborted their young upon capture up to 85 percent of the time. |

Re: Ray Possibly Aborting Her Young Due To Stress
They were interfering it looks like, they should have just gently put her back into the water and left her alone. I agree with you, leave animals alone unless they're in a situation ie. a cat that's been hit by a car. |

Lot of people have no clue how nature works and if you don't know what to do stay put and let nature do her thing.  |
