Dasyatidae is a family of rays, cartilaginous marine fishes, related to skates and sharks.
Dasyatids are common in tropical coastal waters throughout the world, and there are fresh water species in Asia (Himantura sp.), Africa, and Florida (Dasyatis sabina). Most dasyatids are neither threatened nor endangered. The species of the genera Potamotrygon, Paratrygon, and Plesiotrygon are all endemic to the freshwaters of South America.

Alright, too many mixed-up answers. Rays and skates are in the same family as sharks, but not the same order. They are cousins of each other. Both are bone-less types of fish; they only have cartilidge in their bodies.

Yes and No. Rays, Skates and Sharks are similar in family, but come from different orders.

Sort of. In that they are both cartilaginous fish (meaning no bones only cartilage). The two families are "sharks" and "skates and rays". All other fish have bones.

It is in the ray family, which also includes sharks. This makes them cousins.

No, but they are more closely related to sharks than fish with bones.

It is in the same family, like a tick is related to a spider
