Within the areas of the old fishing neighborhood of Vueltas, La Gomera, a young boy surprised animal lovers worldwide when he was filmed petting an unexpected animal – a stingray, of all species! And his name was Joel, now famous locally for befriending stingrays.
The town is a fishery port, which attracts these stingrays – apparently, they do not fear humans as they would willingly eat the by-catch thrown into the port by the local fishermen! Joel’s first moment with these magnificent creatures was when he went up to one and petted it – while it was feeding, and it didn’t seem to mind him at all!
