Sawfish are a type of ray. They are also known as carpenter sharks because of their flattened bill that resembles a saw or hedge trimmer.
They are a seriously threatened species but are still found in Northern Australia and Florida. Sawfish have been fished to near extinction for their fins
(shark fin soup) and by trophy hunters for their sawbill. A sad demise for such an incredible creature.
