The sawfish also known as the carpenter shark, is a strange looking

fish with a long saw-like snout which is called the rostrum. On the

rostrum it has as much as 28 pairs of tooth-like modified scales

depending on the species or the shark itself. The sawfish will use its

“saw” to slice at prey then will eat it whole. It will also use it to

defend itself from predators such as sharks. It has electromagnetic

sensors along the rostrum to help locate movement buried in the

sand or in murky waters. Press here to continue reading the entire project !
