    I love how that stingray is like the antithesis of the crabs the crabs are small, reddish orange, hard and spiky/textured and than the stingray is big, navy blue, soft and smooth. Even the movements are the opposite the crabs move jerkily and erratically while the stingray flies in gracefully like water with fluid and graceful motions.
