Did you know that baby skates look completely out-of-this-world while dancing!
This video was shot at the Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport, OR. The music, the cute little faces and those teeny, tiny legs make this video so strangely adorable. I just couldn't look away!
Skates are very similar to stingrays, though they're less bold in color. They look like aliens! Ravioli with eyes! Plus, I didn't even know these little buggers had legs! You learn something new every day…
The flattened bodies of skates allow them to conceal themselves by hiding beneath the sand. In 2010, Greenpeace International added four types of skate to its seafood red list — a list of fish commonly sold in supermarkets around the world that have a very high risk of being sourced from unsustainable fisheries.
