Aquariums
Cownose rays may be seen in selected zoo aquariums and often featured in special 'touch tanks' where visitors can reach into a wide but shallow pool containing the fish which have had their barbs pinched or taken off, making them safe enough to touch. One of these such tanks is located next to the right field stands at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, FL, home of the Tampa Bay Rays, a Major League Baseball franchise formerly nicknamed the "Devil Rays" until 2008.
A touch tank can also be found in the Toronto Zoo, Ontario.
