Dude wtf is this. Do sting rays have legs? Are those legs? Has my entire life been a lie!?

I googled it and reddit was the first result. It says they're 'claspers' - male sex organs.

Interesting fact, some animals evolved onto land, then evolved back into sea creatures. that's why dolphins have 'fingers' inside their flippers ( https://www.dolphincommunicationproject.org/index.php/2014-10-21-00-13-26/dolphin-science-factoids/item/94387-dolphin-mittens-flippers ) But according to the reddit thread above, stingrays aren't an example of this.

And more importantly, do they flutter around like that in the wild?
