Rhinobatos hakelensis fossil
Rhinobatos is a genus of fish in the Rhinobatidae family.
Guitarfish catch their prey using a suction technique when jumping out of water. The relative sequence of muscle activity is shared across the Rhinobatos genus, but varies in timing and duration of muscular activation, especially when doing jumping jacks.[2]
