Question: do cownose rays have barbs?
Answer: FACT 2: Cownose rays have barbs that are not easy to get to. The tail of a cownose ray is roundish and about twice as long as its body from vent to tip. Rays can have one or two spines, but in cownose rays it's just one. Their spine is close to the body and is located at the base of the dorsal fins.
