Emmergency "C-Section" on an Electric Stingray

The Electric Ray is an abundant visitor to the Gulf beaches at times and can inflict a rather "Shocking" feeling on any one who bumps it.Sting- rays can be good to eat.  So we decided to try our gourmet talents on them while at Orange Beach Ala. on our annual family trek...
After euthanizing them I noticed the belly of a female was moving rapidly in spite of the her being dead.
After opening the abdomen with a mid line incision the uterus was cut open and seven viable little 
Electric rays were delivered.
My grandkids were my surgical assistants and they transported the rays to the ocean. There the rays quickly did what sting rays do by burying themselves in the sandy bottom.
