Description

Sawfish belong to a family of massive rays. They grow unique, long, flat snouts lined with sharp teeth. These snouts look exactly like a saw. Some species reach massive lengths of 23 to 25 feet.

They inhabit tropical and subtropical coastal waters, estuaries, rivers and lakes worldwide. Sadly, they are classified as critically endangered.

They are often confused with swordfish. However, these animals belong to an entirely different family.

Females give birth to live young rather than laying eggs. They hunt fish and invertebrates by using their sensitive, tooth-lined snouts to detect and slash prey.

Sawfish rarely harm humans. They can inflict severe injuries with their saws if they defend themselves again captors.

Buzzie, the sawfish rostrum replica, is so excited to ride in Carlos Santana’s tour bus. Cool pictures, lava lamps, plush leather seats deck it out, while the liquor cabinet is stocked with the best liquor from around the world.

Poke, the swordfish skull replica, is poking fun at Buzzie for being so excited. It shouldn’t be such a big deal, Buzzie has ridden in the tour bus before, many times.

Carlos Santana, the smooth hammerhead shark skull replica, thinks the world of Buzzie. They are the best of friends.

Pike, the alligator garfish skull replica, is feeling a little left out on this trip. He was not invited to go and is wondering if he forgot to make his bed before departing the bus on the last trip.
