The sawfish & the sawshark are two different creatures. Did you know the sawfish have been known to swim up the Mississippi River? They can grow to be about 18-20 feet long

I wonder if they have teeth? Sure would hate to get bit by one. :eyebrow:

If you are swimming and you see a sawfish and a hammerhead Shark, you are screwed.

No they're not. Sharks don't have bone. They only have cartilage. Fish have a skeltal structure. That's the main difference. There's also the fact that sharks must move forward at all times to pass water through their 'gill' area whereas fish don't.

Just because they live in the same environment doesn't mean they're the same creature.

Saying sharks are fish is like saying humans are snakes. Obviously there are some humans with snake-like characteristics, but they're still not snakes.

DJ is right. The one on the left goes by the scientific name Pristiophorus cirratus and is found in the waters around southern Australia’s outer continental shelf, and is endemic to that region.

There are a few different varieties of saw shark, but they all come from the Pristiophorus family. Lay people will often refer to a sawshark as a sawfish though, so it's possible that's where the confusion arises? You can see that the one on the left has the two longer prongs. That's what identifies it as a saw shark. The one on the right doesn't have them and the structure of the snout is different.

A shark is a fish. It is a cartilagenous fish. :D

But are they good with tarter sauce?

their little eyes are cute.

sort of.

if you squint.

Those aren't eyes, they're ports for the frickin laser beams. :eek6:

I was reminded of that too. And also of The Coneheads from Saturday Night Live.

The next in the sequence is posted on the WTF NSFW thread.
Saw arse.

Brighter close-up of mouth

Tuna will croak if they stop swimming.

Gaudi's gaudy folly.
They sure don't look like shark teeth to me.....

Isn't that the latest module on the ISS?
