Highest Quality Natural Rubber. Sawfish are a type of ray, belonging to the same group of cartilaginous fishes as sharks, called elasmobranchs. The large tooth sawfish's most prominent feature is its rostrum, also referred to as snout or saw, which has 14 to 23 large rostral teeth protruding from it, and comprises almost a quarter of the total length of the sawfish. Its body color can range from gray to greenish to golden brown, while its underbelly is cream-colored.  Sawfish travel far up river systems and even live in fresh water. Sometimes, they may venture into bays and coastal marine habitats, especially during the dry season. Mature sawfish have occasionally been found in deeper ocean waters.  Females reproduce every other year and have a gestation period of about five months. There may be four to 10 sawfish in a litter. The number of rostral teeth an individual sawfish will have throughout its life is fixed before birth. The teeth are somewhat flexible and covered by a thin membrane as they develop, and harden after the sawfish is born.  Sawfish, also known as carpenter sharks, are a family of rays characterized by a long, narrow, flattened rostrum, or nose extension, lined with sharp transverse teeth, arranged in a way that resembles a saw. They are among the largest fish with some species reaching lengths of about 7 “7.6 m (23 “25 ft.).They are found worldwide in tropical and subtropical regions in coastal marine and brackish estuarine waters, as well as freshwater rivers and lakes. All species are endangered.     Thanks for visiting Collectible Wildlife Gifts, the leading provider of high-quality, lifelike animal Designs and gifts!
