She's on her side and the 'dorsal' is the flipper (the Stick in the first pic is the tail, edge-on )

Although in reality you may have seen more to give the game away, but quite often you hear a splash or whatever and turn in time to just catch a glimpse.

Pointloader gets the biggest piece of cake, and I'd have to throw a couple of pieces to the "It's a Ray" team, I looked at the pics after reading that ID and it was very easy for my feeble brain to make it fit the preconceived idea

Heh heh, yeah it was a loaded question
Although a photo of the rotten tree trunk that bumped my yak one night and made me make a girly squeal wouldn't have had quite the same entertainment value (for me anyway )

I chucked a yes vote in because I though it was something like a whale shark....didn't look evil in my opinion...I by no means brave

I'd launch and dive with my spear gun
