So then these are both male? The females don't have the little "feet"?

Just repeating information for another post, so believe it at your own risk. Apparently, they have 2 in order to use one to hold the female in place.

Those are claspers. Exactly like what sharks also have that they use to reproduce.

Those aren't claspers! If you look up stingray anatomy, all stingrays have those fins. Claspers would be a second pair of "fins" beneath these ones seen in the video.

Such cute raviolis.

u/Radio_Mime 15d ago

He’s adorable, and a bit naughty waving his claspers around. Those are his reproductive equipment, not feet.
