"Lieb's" as my daughter would say
#InternationalSawfishDay:
Here’s a #sawfish in the earliest surviving version of al-Qazwini's 'Aja'ib al-Makhluqat wa Ghara'ib al-Mawjudat (aka The Wonders of Creation), Wasit, Iraq, 1280 CE.
In later versions, it was often depicted more like a #swordfish (2nd image, Iraq or E. Türkiye, 15th c. CE).

Sawfish use their tooth-studded rostrums to detect electrical signals from prey hidden in sand. These intelligent rays are critically endangered with some species down 90%. Habitat destruction and fishing nets threaten their survival. Support marine conservation! #InternationalSawfishDay

It’s #InternationalSawfishDay. Celebrate this remarkable species!

The Martuwarra / Fitzroy River is recognised as the world's last stronghold for the freshwater sawfish. It’s also a very important nursery, serving as a sanctuary for juveniles.
