For me, the best part of the article was to read that the Stingray was released back into the water, unharmed. Leave those creatures alone, if at all possible.
That’s some big mama!
I’d have a quick heart attack just encountering that monster for real; no need to attack or sting me!
Oh I don’t know, there are some big ass catfish in the world. Sturgeon can get pretty big as well.
I know it said Thailand, but as far as I know the seas around Thailand are saltwater.
And I am NOT going to go to the Huffington Post, at least without a hazmat suit.
Quick, did they find the closest abortion clinic? I bet they hate to see that stingray burdened with a baby.
Interesting. I wonder how they determined that it was pregnant with two fetuses. I also wonder if stingray fetuses are cannibals like their shark cousins.
Sharks get pregnant with multiple offspring. However, they fight each other in the womb, and the winner eats the losers, so that the shark only gives birth to one.
Fish are brutal.
I wonder how they’re defining “biggest” here. She’s 14 feet long but half of that is probably the stinger. By weight I’ll bet there are bigger fresh water fish that have been caught.
This site ranks the species at number 3 with a top weight of 1300 lbs.
It ranks the Beluga Sturgeon at number 1. (The largest recorded beluga sturgeon was almost 20 feet long and over 7,000 pounds.)

Wasn’t this what killed the Croc guy?
