Recent expansion of the Atlantic cownose ray (Rhinoptera bonasus) into Bermudian waters https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/frish.2024.1394011/full

"Because cownose #rays are highly migratory and prefer tropical and temperate seas, they are typically restricted to continental shelves... this is a novel #migration of Atlantic #CownoseRays to Bermuda... it is unknown whether this species is a full-time resident or a seasonal visitor"

What a journey! Went to #SheddAquarium and saw all my fishie friends. The sea otters steal the show, the Belugas are the headliners, and the “Pet a Ray” exhibit with #CownoseRays was lovely. Wash your hands and arms, then arms into the water and the rays come out and whoosh by you as you ever so gently touch them. It’s a different texture than I imagined. It was really a lovely experience. Lots and lots of walking. Had a time with #Ventra which+
