Coulda woulda shoulda?
Does the barb shoot off of the tail or stay attached???
Yes, I was glad to see this posted yesterday. *Everyone* should take some time to read it who is posting on the Irwin threads. We are mourning the loss of this dear soul.
Whoever wrote this article should teach journalism classes. The details are precise and to the point.
Chain mail suits do a good job of spreading out the force of bites and such but they are not particularly good at resisting penetration.
One thing I've been trying to figure out....does the ray have one barb for it's whole life or, after it shoots it's barb, can it grow another? Just a curiosity. We watched and enjoyed Steve Irwin for years.Then my son grew up and his show wasn't on our TV everyday. He was a treasure and we will still miss him.
