    In the Lowry Park Zoo in Tampa, there is a large basin where different kinds of stingrays swim around, always anti-clockwise.

    You can pet them and even buy food so that you can feed them! They swim right up and open their mouths in the hope that someone has a treat for them.

    Good video Kedi, can you just nip down to the southern hemisphere and find out if they swim in a clockwise direction there.:thumb:
