June 24, 2008: Saw What?

Sawfish on the left, and Sawshark on the right.
No, there is no Sawdolphins.

If I saw either one, I'd be walking on water, damn quick.

Are sawfish a type of shark? They look so similar from underneath...

Nope, one's a fish and one's a shark.

The shark is the one on the left, not right. They are especially strong since those long things on their noses are barbels.

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.

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

I see said the blind fisherman as he picked up his fish hook and saw.

Or not.

Looks like they are both frowning. But I guess if I had a head shaped like that I wouldn't smile much either.
