Shark rays are neither sharks nor rays. Their scientific name is Rhina ancylostoma. Their common name is Bowmouth Guitarfish - their broad arc-shaped head is similar to a bow, and their body tapers into a more streamlined shape, much like that of sharks. Shark rays have dual fins and human-like eyes.
Sometimes called bowmouth guitarfish or mud skates, shark rays inhabit shallow coastal waters and coral reefs in the Pacific Ocean. Their evolutionary path isn't fully resolved, and some researchers believe that they are the missing link that connects rays and sharks.
