A fact from Bat ray appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 19 January 2006. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that prehistoric inhabitants of the San Francisco Bay Area fished the bat ray in large numbers, while more recently it is mostly taken by oyster growers who mistakenly believe it feeds on their oysters?

Question

Are bat rays the type of rays you get to touch in those touch tidepools? Bibliomaniac15 19:10, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Common name

Within its range, and in most scholarship, the common name used for the animal is "bat ray." FishBase's link to common names gives a U.S. common name of "bat ray" and a UK one of "bat eagle ray." I think the article should stay at "bat ray." Demi ^T/_C 05:40, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
