Something physical about the bat ray is that they are able to camouflage at the bottom of the sea floor. Camouflaging at the bottom of the sea floor helps them survive by hiding from predators. The bat rays behavior for a female is that they live where food can be found. The only way they can survive is by living somewhere close to food because they need to eat up to seven times a day. The way bat rays protect themselves is by using there whip like tail. This helps them so they won't get hurt. Bat rays mainly hunt at the bottom of the ocean.
