All three have triangular pectoral fins, horn-shaped cephalic fins and large, forward-facing mouths. They are classified among the Myliobatiformes and are placed in the family Myliobatidae. They have one of the highest brain-to-body ratio of all fish, advanced cognition, and may understand mirror contingencies.
