That’s a lot of sea flap-flaps right there.

I swam with some rays in Cancun (ETA - er Bahamas). I was hesitant because they are called sting rays, not cuddle rays. But they really are neat animals and because humans feed them all the time, fairly friendly. Just shuffle your feet, don’t step.

Rays are cool. These are friendly stingrays at one of the cays of Abaco in the Bahamas. They feel like wet velvet.
Last year I scattered my mother’s ashes on a low tide sandbar near here, where she spent her last months walking the beach with her dog instead of putting herself through chemo (advanced pancreatic cancer, so not much point). A spotted eagle ray leapt out of the water, as they do, just as the wavelets started to wash them away.

OH wait, right, I think that is where I was.
So the collective noun for rays (as in fish) is ‘fever’. Cool 
I love collective nouns.

I did not know that the collective noun of ray is ‘fever’.
Thank you!
I first glanced at the headline and thought it said “cow nose-rays”
