NOLA people are fascinated by a dead sting ray on the road

quote:

---

I found the Broad Street stingray lying in the weeds on an embankment.
The big question, of course, is how did the Broad Street stingray end up on Broad Street in the first place? It’s possible it bounced from the bed of the pickup truck of a passing fisher; people do eat them. So, that’s my best guess.

It’s not impossible that it fell off of a passing train, but that seems highly unlikely. It seemed too big to have been caught in the shallow water of the canal, as if anyone goes fishing in the canal.

And it couldn’t have swum there on its own, because New Orleans hasn’t flooded in, well, months.
