I just thought I'd been feeding them too much. Their stomach and uterus are in the same area so the last thing on my mind was to find a baby stingray.

It's just amazing that we had one. For a stingray to have a baby and to be even bred they have to have very optimal water conditions.

A stingray has a gestation period of about nine months. So, either it came pregnant or it happened right after it got here.

It's tough when you're out there and you can't participate. It wears on you a little bit.

I can't evaluate things day-by-day because there are going to be bad days. We evaluate on a weekly basis, and I've gotten significantly better each week.

It was time to put something behind it and the ball was coming out good.
