Compliments of The Virginia Aquarium
The pups will remain behind the scenes until they are large enough to be transferred to an exhibit or surplussed to another facility. Mom will remain on maternity leave behind the scenes for a few more weeks to make sure that she recovers completely from the birthing process. The mission of the Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center is to increase the public's knowledge and appreciation of Virginia's marine environment and inspire commitment to preserve its existence.

Late in the evening on June 15th, a female Atlantic stingray, Dasyatis sabina, that had been removed from the ray touch tank a month ago for a birthing watch gave birth to 2 male and 2 female pups. Each pup is about 4 inches (10 cm) in disc width and weighs about 256g/.5lbs. They look in very good health and are doing well.
