Stingray Flies Out Of Water Kills Woman - Vid Of Actual Ray Added
MARATHON, Fla.- Officials say a woman died in the Florida Keys after a stingray jumped out of the water and struck her upper body.
The spotted eagle ray had hit the 55-year-old woman while she was in a boat Thursday. Officials say she was hit in the face or neck.
It’s not clear whether the animal’s barb struck the Michigan woman, or if the impact killed her.
Spotted eagle rays can grow up to 17 feet in length and weigh up to 500 pounds.
They are+ known to occasionally jump out of the water but are not aggressive.
Here is some aerial footage of the scene, towards the end you see the sting ray…pretty big one.

D’rat talking points:
I think this is Bush’s fault for not signing Kyoto. The poor animals are reacting to climate change in unexpected ways, it’s almost like they are trying to kill us before we kill the planet.
