Where does one need to live to have this problem? I’ve been to the Gulf of Mexico countless times and I’ve literally never seen a stingray. I’m guessing they’re not native there?

There should be stingrays in the Gulf of Mexico, but you might not have seen them for a couple of reasons:

- They generally blend in well with the ocean floor

- Some species bury themselves to hide when they feel threatened, others swim away

- They prefer warm, shallow, sandy beaches — if you’re at a beach with lots of rocks/seaweed, they might not be there

I live in Gulf Breeze FL on the Gulf of Mexico and see stingrays daily.
