Can't help as the site requires a sign-in, and you're not paying my
hourly rate. :-)

Put it somewhere accessible, and someone will look.

Cheers,

Pastinachus sephen

A large, dark stingray, greyish brown to black, with a very long, tapering
tail. Tail usually has one sting (barb). Cowtail stingrays are common
inshore and may venture into estuaries and freshwater. They are quite
inquisitive.

Size: Can grow to at least 1.8 metres disc width.
