How do rays get their food?

Rays primarily obtain their food through a method known as benthic feeding, where they forage along the ocean floor. They use their flattened bodies to sift through sand and mud, locating prey such as crustaceans, mollusks, and small fish. Some species can also use their electroreceptors to detect hidden prey buried in substrate. Once located, they often use their strong jaws to crush or suck in their food.
