  They are probably opportunistic feeder, this one didn't eats the whole head, probably not possible.
  It just kind of 'nibble' the more fleshy part for a while and then swam away. Posted 5 years ago

The Mangrove whipray

The mangrove whipray or whitetail stingray, is a species of stingray in the family Dasyatidae. It is widely distributed in the Indo-Pacific region from the Red Sea to northern Australia and Micronesia. A benthic inhabitant of shallow inshore waters, juvenile mangrove whiprays favor mangrove and estuarine habitats, while adults favor sandy to rocky areas in lagoons and coral reefs.
