The cowtail stingray is a species of stingray widespread in the Indo-Pacific region. Its most distinctive characteristic is the flag-like ventral fold on its tail. They feed on bony fish, crustaceans, mollusks, polychaete worms, and sipunculids. For humans, the cowtail stingray is potentially dangerous.
