A sting ray barb would be the part of the sting ray known as the "stinger" long slender part that holds the electric charge I beleive.
i've just read like 10 articles on it and I still can't believe it. R.I.P mate, you did us Aussies Proud.
I made a little userbar to bridge the time between now and when I make a sig: Code: [IMG]http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a45/cryptfiend0/zomg_steve.jpg[/IMG]
I think its actually a venom that the ray injects which is a nerve toxin and not an electric shock He also must have been swimming above the ray, it as it stings vertically. His wife is down here in cradle mountain tasmania and has only just found out about his tragic death RIP steve
I am in complete shock RIP to a great Aussie Icon The Crocodile Hunter... As an Aussie, we are all in utter disbelief to lose one of our sons
Very sad news indeed. I feel so sorry for his wife Terri and the kids, Bindi and Robert who all shared his passion and enthusiasm for steve's work. He at least died doing what he loved best .....next to his family that is. R.I.P. Steve. Sombodys got to keep the critters under control in heaven, it may as well be him.
