Parrie the Stingray
When you travel to a new place, often you will hear about famous people, history and landmarks that make that place unique. Well, Struisbaai, a little town situated in the Overberg Region of South Africa has a different kind of famous attraction - Parrie the Stingray.
Who’s Parrie you ask?
Parrie is a celebrity in these parts and is in fact…. A short-tail stingray. These beautiful animals can be found off southern Africa, Australia and New Zealand. Reaching widths of 2.1 m and weighing over 350 kg they are the largest of the marine stingray species.
Struisbaai Harbor
According to townsfolk, the beloved Parrie has been visiting Struisbaai Harbor for over 30 years. Initially they were attracted to this area by fish morsels that got thrown over the side from returning fishing boats. It is thought that this stingray actually recognizes the sound of the boats and waits at the moorings for them. Parrie sprung to fame back in 2003 when he made a brief visit to Two Oceans Aquarium but was later returned to Struisbaai when locals demonstrated how loyal they were to their fishy friend.
Gentle Giants
This gentle giant enjoys human company so much that people can actually get into the water and feed or swim with Parrie and his friends. He is usually recognized as he is larger than the other stingrays that visit the harbour. Parrie is not only adored by locals but everyone who visits the harbour, including our White Shark Projects volunteers.
Stingray Feeding
Below is a video our previous experienced marine biologist feeding the stingrays showing our volunteers how docile these animals really are. It is truly a dream experience to encounter such majestic creatures.
