Description

"Many have been the favorable comments on this spectacular mount of the "sea devil" of giant ray, which now stands near one of the main entrances of the museum. The preparation of the exhibit was very difficult and required taxidermy ability of higher order, both as to form and color of the finished product. This is another outstanding example of work done on Project #597, Natural History Museum, Balboa Park, San Diego, CA."
