Still Waters Posted January 20, 2019 #1 Share Posted January 20, 2019 A young thornback ray has been saved at Macduff Marine Aquarium in Aberdeenshire - after being allowed to grow in a sandwich bag. The ray was trapped in its egg case - known as a mermaid's purse - and would have died. Aquarium employee Frazer Mackay peeled open the case and put the ray, still at the embryo stage, in the bag. The ray is now a month old and the aquarium said it is "thriving" in the sandwich bag in a quarantine tank. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-north-east-orkney-shetland-46938125 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piney Posted January 20, 2019 #2 Share Posted January 20, 2019 A bag is basically what a egg case is so it was a very "common sense" thing to do. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
