According to our news this morning, he was filming with the stingray, and there is footage in police hands.

Crocs and other seriously unpopular creatures have lost another chance to avoid extinction.

I've been scratched with a stingray barb. It isn't 'poison-filled', but poisonous-slime coated, and it really, really hurts.
Stingrays seem quite gentle, but they seem also to react automatically to threats, real or perceived.

Condolences to Terri and the kids.
