Enters estuaries and brackish water. Most serious injuries to humans come from stingray groups (Ref. 114953). The largest specimen (140 cm WD) is a pregnant female with 2 embryos (30 cm WD) (data not year published); the smallest confirmed adult male is 112 cm WD (Ref. 110363); born at ca. 29 cm WD. Produces litters up to 4 pups (Ref. 114953). Last, P.R., W.T. White and G. Naylor 2016 Three new stingrays (Myliobatiformes: Dasyatidae) from the Indo-West Pacific. Zootaxa 4147(4):377-402.

It differs fromH. undulata in having smaller reticulations, less elongated snout, and absence of a pair of pearl-shaped suprascapular denticles which are characteristic of H. undulata (Ref. 110363).
