The sea creatures are safe and rode out the storm, despite the baseball stadium’s roof being ripped off during the hurricane.
A group of stingrays, popular with fans of Major League Baseball team the Tampa Bay Rays, which were moved for their own protection ahead of Hurricane Milton, have been returned to an aquarium in Florida.
The group of seven male cownose stingrays were moved to a tank at the Tropicana Field baseball stadium as the storm closed in.
The sea creatures are now back in their own exhibition space at The Florida Aquarium which is where they stay during baseball’s off-season.
The stingrays, named for their cow-shaped snouts, are common in the waters around Tampa Bay and would have felt at home at Tropicana Field, as it’s where they stay during the season, having featured there since 2006.
