Unexpected Companion
This man is getting quite comfortable with a stingray and doesn’t appear to mind having the creature in such close proximity. Despite their reputation for being dangerous, stingrays are often comfortable around people. This is because they consider the ocean their home and visitors as mere guests in their territory.

Some beaches, like Bendalong Beach in Australia and Struisbaai harbor in South Africa, have stingrays that are so accustomed to human presence that they are actually part of the local tourist attractions.
