The Papo Sawfish Ray figure accurately captures the unique features of the sawfish, particularly its elongated, flattened snout edged with sharp tooth-like structures, resembling a saw. The body of the figure is crafted to reflect the streamlined and flattened shape of a real sawfish, designed for gliding through the water. The figure’s fins and tail are proportionate and well-defined, showcasing the physical attributes that allow sawfish to navigate their aquatic environment effectively.
The Papo Sawfish figure showcases the general features characteristic of sawfish, such as their distinctive rostrum (saw-like snout), flattened body, and pectoral fins that blend seamlessly with the body. These features are expertly depicted.
The Papo Sawfish Ray Figure measures approximately 7" Long.
Sawfish are a type of ray and belong to the family Pristidae. They are easily recognizable by their long, flat snouts edged with teeth, known as rostrums, which they use to detect and incapacitate prey. Sawfish inhabit coastal marine and brackish waters, often found in estuaries, lagoons, and river mouths. Their distinctive rostrum is equipped with electroreceptors that allow them to sense the electrical fields of potential prey, such as fish and crustaceans, hidden in the sediment.
Sawfish are powerful swimmers, with bodies adapted to navigate through various water environments. Their flattened bodies and broad pectoral fins enable them to move gracefully along the ocean floor. Despite their fearsome appearance, sawfish pose little threat to humans. However, they are often caught as bycatch in fishing operations, which has contributed to their decline.
