Sawfish |

 |

 |
||||||
| Although sharklike in appearance, sawfish are actually a type of ray. Sawfish have a peculiar elongation of the snout into a broad, flat sword with opposing rows of large teeth. When feeding, the sawfish thrashes the saw from side to side, wounding and killing small fish. Sawfish are common in the shallow coastal waters of tropical seas and can ascend moderate distances up freshwater rivers. | ||||||
