Abyssinian Ground Hornbill

Giant Freshwater Stingray

Species principle: Riverbed Power

Stay low and wide.

Power does not always rise. Sometimes it spreads low and becomes part of the riverbed.

Giant Freshwater Stingrays have enormous flattened bodies that help them rest, hide, and glide along muddy river bottoms while using electroreception and stealth to locate food.
