National Geographic Emerging Explorer Zeb Hogan found what might be the world's largest freshwater giant stingray in Thailand this month! The giant river ray's body was an incredible 6.6 feet (2 meters) wide by 6.9 feet (2.1) meters long.
Hogan hopes that the giant river ray may be making a comeback in the
Mekong River. "The Thai populations were once considered critically
endangered, although with the discovery of new populations the
stingray's abundance appears higher than previously believed," said
Hogan.
