Handle With Care
The Clearnose Skate gets its name from the transparent area of skin on either side of its pointed ‘nose’. And although Clearnose Skates may look dangerous and creepy, they don’t possess venomous barbs like stingrays – but they do have sharp thorns on the tops of their tails.
They use their tails to strike others when they feel threatened which is exactly what must have happened Matt. But unfortunately, Matt was allergic to them.
