I've been coming to La Manz most winters for 10 years and never saw these cool creatures before that we spotted swimming in schools just offshore, so I took this photo yesterday on the beach. The fishermen are getting them in their nets and have to push them back into the water. I looked for an image to identify it and it looks a lot like a bullnose ray, a relative of the eagle ray and supposedly harmless. But it's not supposed to be here off the Pacific coast of Mexico! Climate change?
