How do the Stingrays get to Aquatica San Antonio?

When our new water park, Aquatica San Antonio, opens up this May, one central feature will be a stingray pool.

As if being on the 50 yard line wasn't enough, I got to witness one of the most amazing athletes dash across the field at amazing speeds. But this athlete was no member of the football player. He was a cheetah!
