GIANT STINGRAY: Takes 13 Men To Catch In Thailand, Weighs 771 Lbs.

A giant stingray, no a massive stingray, valiantly battled 13 men before succumbing to captivity. As it turns out, this giant stingray was going to have some baby stingrays; she was expecting.

Metro.co.uk reports in its article, "Giant stingray battles 13 men and loses," that a fishing professional, Ian Welch, landed this stingray in Thailand.

Actually, it is unfair to give Mr. Welch all the credit. It took 13 men to get the stingray into the boat.

OK, evidently after fighting for it's life this marvelous creature was released. But I doubt that she escaped some injury in the process. Not to mention the inescapable trauma incurred. If it had happened in this country, however, my guess is the outcome would have been worse.

The pregnant stingray was admired, tagged and released back into the Mae Klong River.
