The ray, captured in Thailand's Mae Kong (Mekong) River, weighs an estimated 700-800 pounds and was over 14 feet long and 8 feet wide. Corwin released the statement:
"The stingray was captured with the world's leading specialist on these animals, Dr. Ning, and the information from her study is solely for conservation." The picture captures the moment of release, and "the animal is doing well and thriving."
