See Golden Ray Migration, Gulf of Mexico
Twice a year thousands of golden rays, also known as cownosed rays, make a migration between Western Florida and the Yucatan Peninsula. Known to travel in groups (or 'fevers' ) of over 10,000 rays, the blue water will turn to gold as they glide just below the surface. Their migration heads north in late spring and south in late autumn.
The rays have poisonous stringers, but in the large groups they are known to be shy. However they can still be deadly, so be careful if you plan on swiming with them.
Golden Rays grow up to seven feet across and migrate within the Caribbean and can be found in Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador,Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, and Peru.
Its natural habitats when not on migration are open seas, shallow seas, subtidal aquatic beds, estuarine waters, intertidal marshes, and coastal saline lagoons.
