As Discussed on Episode 52 of Just Two Good Old Boys
“The Java stingaree is a species of ray about the size of a dinner plate, and it was so rare that it was only known from one specimen collected in 1862 from a fish market in Jakarta, Indonesia. Fishing was just one of several pressing threats the species faced.”
Note on the show I said 1960’s going from memory, I was wrong it was 1862.
