Description
Spotted eagle ray jaw measures 5.0 x 4.0 x 4.3 inches. The Aetobatus narinari is a museum-quality polyurethane resin cast of a California Academey of Science specimen. 1:1 scale. Made in USA.
The spotted eagle ray is a cartilaginous fish within the eagle ray family. Traditional records place this species globally throughout tropical regions in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans.
Spotted eagle rays most commonly swim alone in the wild. Occasionally, these unique marine animals form tight groups. Females retain the eggs internally because this species is ovoviviparous. The mother releases the live young as miniature versions of the parent.

Curators can expand marine biology collections by comparing the unique flat teeth of the spotted eagle ray jaw against diverse fish structures. Display the broad ray jaw alongside the sharp, interlocking fangs of a payara wolf fish skull replica.
You can contrast the ray’s bottom-feeding design with the classic predatory jaw profile of the North Pacific wolf eel skull replica. Exhibit these crushing teeth next to a bowmouth guitarfish jaw replica to demonstrate dental variations among closely related species.
