This was one big fish out of water.
A massive 400-pound roughtail stingray was discovered in the Long Island Sound.
The creature, which was over 6 feet long and 5 feet wide, was hauled in by a survey crew from Connecticut Fish and Wildlife.
The organization posted a photo of the stingray on its Facebook page, explaining that the “gentle giants” are typically found along the Atlantic coast from New England to Florida, but hardly ever spotted in the Long Island Sound.
The image shows the animal lying belly up on its back — and the crew kept it that way.
