#1 I've come across stingrays when diving and snorkeling and they are usually gentle and unaggressive unless you try to grab them or something

#2 Well , he likes to grab things , i.e. jumping on crocs backs , so i expect he did something similar ..

#6 that is a shame. RIP. I really enjoyed his shows. He did leave the world an important message and one that I'm sure if he had to go early he would be happy to make: Wild animals are dangerous and they are not pets to be played with.
