The bull ray (Pteromylaeus bovinus), is named for the shape of its head. It is a very large ray, often 180 cm and sometimes up to 230 cm in length. This ray can be found from the Mediterranean Sea, all along the Atlantic coast from Portugal to South Africa and into the Indian Ocean to Mozambique.^[2]
