A rare and exotic ornate eagle ray 'Aetomylaeus vespertilio' was captured on camera in the Great Barrier Reef, Australia. Conservationists believe the ornate eagle ray being a rare species is getting rarer day by day. The pic was shared by marine biologist Jacinta Shackleton, she saw first 2 rays on Mar 25 while diving in the reef. Marine biologists say the number of eagle rays has halved over the last 45 years.
