BEING THE FIRST TO DISCOVER, SEE, OR HEAR

Some people really love being on the forefront of things. I know people who sat in their cars for hours to be the first over a bridge. Well, this is a first sight of a rare small-eyed sting ray....2 1/2 meters across. It is the largest of the stingrays and extremely rare so that this is the first photograph of it.
