Florida Aquarium Stingrays Safely Relocated After Hurricane Milton

The cownose stingrays returned to their aquarium habitat after enduring the storm at Tropicana Field's touch tank.

Tropicana Field's fabric roof was destroyed by Hurricane Milton, but the stingrays remained unharmed.
The stingrays, a popular attraction during the MLB season, were cared for by aquarium staff at the stadium.
Craig Johnson, associate curator at The Florida Aquarium, confirmed the stingrays handled the storm well.
The Florida Aquarium, undamaged by the storm, also relocated other animals and corals to safer locations.
Assessments of the stadium's damage will take weeks, with the next scheduled game in March 2025.
