Did you know that its tail can be up to three times the length of its body?

The reticulated whiptail ray has a light brown body with dark brown spots and a solid white underside. Its snout is pointed, and its tail can reach three times the length of its body. The tail usually has one barb on it.

It favors shallow, sandy habitats near the coast—like beaches, lagoons and coral reefs—but also ventures into deep waters.

The gestation period for reticulated whiptail rays is approximately a year. Females give birth to three to five pups in the summer.
