Spotted eagle rays patrol the sandy channels and reef passes around Caja de Muertos in groups of 2–6, their polka-dotted backs making them instantly recognisable as they glide effortlessly across the bottom. They dig into the sand with their flat snouts searching for buried molluscs and crustaceans.

How is this calculated?

Sighting evidence is compiled from iNaturalist observation records within a set proximity radius, filtered for quality-grade observations. “Last confirmed” is the date of the most recent research-grade record. Record count covers a rolling 24-month window. Confidence reflects record count, recency, and consistency of seasonal signal.
