🎉Exciting news! Daniocell is now accessible via ZFIN! 4 years ago, when I started working on zebrafish with @JeffreyAFarrell, I was awestruck at the immense resource that is ZFIN. Happy to see Daniocell worthy of a place in ZFIN.

Stingrays like to be tickled apparently 😭
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Stingray is suffocating and is not enjoying being tickled. Being out of water for any period of time will cause it to suffocate and eventually die.
