>From what I've been told by a marine biologist colleague, barbs typicallyeither penetrate and come out again, or they break off.  Presumably if itdidn't break off then Steve would have pulled it out if it had a stingrayattached to it, as would most people I'd imagine.  Either way, he probablydidn't realise what damage it had caused.Adam-----Original Message-----From: croclist-bounces at lists.gatorhole.com[mailto:croclist-bounces at lists.gatorhole.com] On Behalf Of Stewart MacdonaldSent: Tuesday, 19 September 2006 4:10 PMTo: croclist at lists.gatorhole.comSubject: Re: CROCLIST: Steve Irwin - Dead - CNNOn 19/09/2006, at 3:08:37 PM, Adam Britton wrote:> According to those who saw the footage, yes Steve pulled the barb out> immediately.

you and also  attached to the stingray. Is that incorrect? If it's not incorrect, I  don't think Steve had much of a choice. I guess it was pull the barb  out, or be towed around by a stingray.Stewart_______________________________________________Croclist mailing listCroclist at lists.gatorhole.comhttp://lists.gatorhole.com/mailman/listinfo/croclistCroclist Image Website: http://reptilians.org/croclist/_______________________________________________Croclist mailing listCroclist at lists.gatorhole.comhttp://lists.gatorhole.com/mailman/listinfo/croclistCroclist Image Website: http://reptilians.org/croclist/
