The Sawfish

Amazing! The Sawfish is a ray and like its fellow group members (sharks, rays and skates) has a cartilaginous skeleton. It uses its saw for defense and for feeding by slashing its saw from side to side along the ocean floor, dislodging prey and likely by slashing through schools of fish. The largest species has been documented to weigh in at over 5,000 pounds!
