        "transcript": "<p class=\"MsoNormal\">For over a hundred million years, the stingray has roamed the oceans, an almost mythological animal\u2014extraordinarily graceful and yet considered potentially lethal.</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">Though not aggressive, the stingray is equipped with a fearsome means of defense\u2014a venomous spine found near the base of its powerful, whip-like tail.</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">A large ray can drive this spine into a wooden boat or deliver an extremely serious and painful wound.</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">It\u2019s most dangerous when lying camouflaged in sand.</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">It moves slowly, foraging for invertebrates hidden on the sea floor.</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">Because a stingray\u2019s eyes are on top of its head, and its mouth and nostrils below, it can\u2019t actually see what it\u2019s eating.</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">It finds its food by smell, touch, and by sensing the electrical field of its prey.</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">The southern stingray is one of some 90 species of stingray. Like a prehistoric bird, its huge fins can reach up to six feet across.</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">They\u2019re usually shy and elusive animals, hard to get close to. But the warm, clear waters of the Cayman Islands offer something different.</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">On the north side of Grand Cayman island, swarms of stingrays live inside a protective barrier reef, where the water is calm and shallow.</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">Nicknamed \u201cStingray City\u201d\u2026this is one of the only places on Earth where stingrays are used to people.</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">Here divers can swim alongside the rays, and meet these remarkable animals, face to fin.</p>",
