Very strange mass deaths of stingrays ... they said there were no signs that a zoo visitor affected the rays in the touchpool but that seems like the most likely thing if indeed there were no problems with filtration or temperature.
Quoted: Officials at the Calgary Zoo remained baffled on Tuesday as they tried to puzzle out just why 34 of their stingrays suddenly died.
The juvenile cownose stingrays, about the size of a dinner plate, were kept in a "petting" tank where visitors were able to touch them, a common feature in a number of North American zoos and aquariums, according to the zoo officials in the Western Canadian city.
