Ray

I made a new friend. This is him.

At the Sealife Centre in Great Yarmouth they have a tank a little over a metre in height, open-topped, filled with Ray. Most of them were pretty lazy, hanging around the corners of the tank by the glass - which meant good views of them, but no interaction (though I didn't go expecting to interact with a fish...).

This guy was different - he was going round the public sides of the tank, checking people out. He'd even let you stroke him, and would keep coming back for more fin-tickles. Had to be careful of the spikes on his nose and back, but I really liked this little fella. If I could have brought him home, I would have.
