Africa: Benue River in Cameroon and Nigeria, and Niger River downstream from its confluence with the Benue River (Ref. 3497, 81259). Also reported from Lagos Lagoon, Cross River and Sanaga River (Ref. 81259, 81625). 非洲: 在喀麥隆與奈及利亞的貝努埃河 , 與從尼日河與貝努埃河的匯流處順流而下。 這種的標本曾經從在 Mamfe 附近的拉哥斯 潟湖與從十字河鑑定。 (參考文獻 3497)

成熟度: Lm? range ? - ? cm Max length : 40.0 cm WD 雄魚/尚未辨別雌雄; (Ref. 3497)
脊椎骨: 120 - 131. Diagnosis: A moderately large and thin-bodied freshwater dasyatid; disc flatter than in any other West African dasyatid, its depth only 8.7-11.0% of disc width vs. 11.0% or more in other species; denticles on dorsal surface of disc highly variable, sometimes absent, always restricted to central portion; pearl spine absent or represented by 2-3 low denticles (Ref. 26277). It is most similar to the small marine species Dasyatis margaritella and the larger marine species Dasyatis margarita, both of which have well-developed pearl spines and shorter snouts (Ref. 26277).
Body shape (shape guide): other; Cross section: flattened. 一個普通大而細瘦的淡水土魟; 體盤橢圓形，比任何其他的西非土魟扁平, 它的深度只有 8.7-11.0% 的體盤寬度; 細齒在體盤背面上高變異的,有時不存在, 總是侷限於中央的部分; 珍珠棘不存在或呈現出 2-3個低的細齒.(參考文獻 26277) 吻尖突出的作為一個小的三角形的突起.(參考文獻 31256) 在上頜中的 16-18個齒, 在下頜中的 14-28個齒.(參考文獻 31256) 體盤與腹鰭中等的灰色或灰褐色上方, 沒有斑點或者突出的斑紋, 腹面白色的而且沒有深色的邊緣; 尾部比較深色或黑色的, 腹面顏色較淡.(參考文獻 26277)
Dasyatis garouaensis is restricted to fresh waters (Ref. 81625). Its conservation status is uncertain, given its restricted distribution in a region with known habitat degradation; this species has apparently become less common after the construction of a dam on the Benue River (Ref. 81625). Ovoviviparous (Ref. 50449).
Exhibit ovoviparity (aplacental viviparity), with embryos feeding initially on yolk, then receiving additional nourishment from the mother by indirect absorption of uterine fluid enriched with mucus, fat or protein through specialised structures (Ref. 50449). Distinct pairing with embrace (Ref. 205).非洲: 在喀麥隆與奈及利亞的貝努埃河 , 與從尼日河與貝努埃河的匯流處順流而下。 這種的標本曾經從在 Mamfe 附近的拉哥斯 潟湖與從十字河鑑定。 (參考文獻 3497)
