The video also shows a spotted ray leaping from the water.According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, the rays, which are protected in Florida waters, are often seen swimming near the surface, and occasionally leap out of the water. While they are not aggressive, they do have a defensive venomous barb located near the base of their tails. Credit: Michael Busch via Storyful
