Re: Leopard Whipray
Those holes are called spiracle, all rays and some species of shark have them. They're used for breathing by the ray for oxygenated water to enter and it comes out from its gills from the underside.DarkStryder wrote:Is dat behind the eyes it's ears?

Re: Leopard Whipray
That's not a fish, just the texture of its skin that look like a fish.
