Giant Fresh water stingray

The giant freshwater stingray is a species of stingray in the family Dasyatidae. It is found in large rivers and estuaries in Indochina and Borneo, though historically it may have been more widely distributed in South and Southeast Asia. Fish experts believe the giant stingray, such as this one in Cambodia's Mekong River, is the largest freshwater species on Earth.
