He's all: Weeeeeeeeee!
First of all, I've never seen a bebeh stingray. Second, who woulda thunk a bebeh stingray could be cute enough to meet our stringent requirements? Third, will you please look at these "legs" OMG.
Megan F. (not me!) took this at the Brighton, UK aquarium. Hilarious.

» A baby stingray with legs? What the from Blog de Purée
Well, this doesnt rate a Friday cephalopod status, like those from one of my favorite science blogs, Pharyngula, but this photo of a baby stingray from Cute Overload was just awesome.

is that his back or his front?
I luv this site, bleen of all, because it widens my horizons of kewtness!
How incredibly odd. It's like a fat lizard wearing a kite!
I am all for it. like the pastels as well
llism, very very funny. Lizard wearing a kite.HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
i gasped when i saw his wittle face
First reaction: the body part looks like an embryo. I'm working on an embryology book at work, and most of the images have those exact colors, along with the relative amorphousness.
Second reaction: Uber cute.
That has got to be one of the weirdest cute things I have ever seen. Legs?!
[bugeyes]
...whoa.
I think somebody's doing my RCFs for me!
omg!!!!!!
I can definately see evolution legs going on there.
I think I see arms too....
Wow!
I've never noticed "bodies" on stingrays before, but I've always liked their flat faces. :] Good pic!
Wow! This pic is cute AND educational!
Wow, it IS cute. The "legs," the tail, the face and the flying action. The little bugger does look like it's having fun.
So cute!
Laura, that's his ventral surface. You can tell because you can see the mouth and gills. And I call it a him, because those "legs" are actually little claspers, which will be used for sperm transfer once it's full grown.
And there's your stingray anatomy lesson for the day! :)
that's the bottom of the bebeh stingray, and the "legs" mean it's a boy!! they're called Claspers, and are used during mating.
such a cutie!!
It may be a boy but he looks sort of like he's wearing a pink tutu with puffed sleeves.
Anybody else thinking Dr. Who?
Wat the?
Not kidding, there is an overlap of cuteoverload and uglyoverload... Did anyone see this article about the guitar fish that was captured, and the Russian fishermen thinking it was an alien from outerspace and who ate it anyway? Check this out... Same alien face...

Son of a gun!
he looks like a fried egg. with pink yolks. i'm not sure how i feel about this. hahaha
this is the underside. The topside is brown or blackish.
they do like to cling onto smooth surfaces in aquaria.
also, the swimming motion of any ray is one of the most beautiful things ever...super-graceful wings rippling.
oh my gosh.
the legs are so freakishly human-like
this sort of pic gives me chills, but its so fantastic its fasinating!
eeeek! it's wearing a little pink sundress!!!!
tooo cute!
I have fooled ALL of you. MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA! I glued a kite to a big fat gecko just to see if you suckers would think it's cute. My evil plan has come to fruition!
eeeek! it's wearing a little pink sundress!!!!
tooo cute!
I'm ded. Completely, totally, utterly DED.
Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny, peeple!!!
They're so adorable when young...they take a full year to mature, but after a few weeks, look exactly like adult rays...only tiny. Like silver-dollar tiny. If anyone ever goes near Norwich and finds themselves at Hunstanton, I highly recommend the Sea Life Centre there...they have tanks of young stingrays.
wow this is so cutely weird!
:)

my first thought was "is this the bottom or the top"? I go to comments and first comment, same question. Finally someone translates (ventral =bottom) and now we know. Male, bottom side.
And yet it still looks like a frog in a pink swimsuit laying on a large yellow blanket to sunbathe. Perhaps I'm anthropomorphizing (sp?) too much. VERY CUTE regardless. And fascinating.

I got to PET little rays at the Milwaukee County Zoo, they & some pettable sharks will be there till September.
(I think this petting opporunity was here last summer too. VERY cool. They're even SOFT.)
It's cute if you pretend those are its eyes, but I'm pretty sure they're its nostrils (or the sting ray equivalent thereof).
Haha little dewd looks like he's all Whooopeeee!!!1!!111
"Hey, ma, look what I can do!"
I had no idea that that was what was going on underneath a stingray. It looks like a kite swallowed a newborn baby. Cute, though, in an outerspace sort of way.
(try again)
Core blimey, mate! The stuff of fairy tales, low budget sci-fi, cartoons and old sea captains. Great!
:-)
Oh my gosh, it looks almost exactly like Cassandra, the last living human, in the episode of Doctor Who, "The End of the World." That is UNCANNY.
Aww.
I didn't realise till now that other people had realised rays could be cute. I've seen them at Sea Life Centres, and you're not allowed to touch them anymore, which makes me sad, but if you wave your hand over the tank they pop up out of the water! They really poke their snouts out of the water. Sort of like little aquatic puppies. And they wave their side-flaps ^_^
Irwin brand sun cream: protects against harmful rays. Oh, come on, I HAD to make that joke. It's what Steve-O would want.
I will never look at steamed dumplings the same way.
I am not sure if I think it is cute or gross, lol.
Look ma, no hands!!
"Oh my gosh, it looks almost exactly like Cassandra, the last living human, in the episode of Doctor Who, "The End of the World." That is UNCANNY."
That's exactly what I thought too! I saw those on the SciFi channel and now they're running them on my PBS station.
(But David Tennant is the better doctor, IMHO.)
chelonianmobile - try Monterey Bay Aquarium! They have a Bat Ray touch pool. They're very soft and gentle creatures.
... consider this for a new Pixar character!
They can call it "everybody loves stingray"
does no one else *suspect* that this was the inspiration for the teletubbies?
I think it's kinda cute EXCEPT for the guts. I can't do transparent bellies. XP
Disney should... I was just about to post that it could have been one of Nemo's little school friends in Finding Nemo.
I saw oompa loompas before I saw Cassandra, but you're right! (The little leg kicks during Oompa Loompa dances, right?)
Also, is PBS seriously running it? Brilliant! I must tell all my uninitiated friends!
