And their noses are shaped like chainsaws.Sawfish are food hunters of the sea. When a sawfish is hungry, it waves its sharp
18、toothed snout (口鼻部) through a group of fish. Then, it lifts its nose and uses its mouth to draw the injured victims.Hardy (适应力强的) population of sawfish thrived in warm waters along coastlines around the world for thousands of years.
