Sawshark

Photo was taken at Shark Reef Aquarium @ Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas.
just click the image  for a clear view.
The sawsharks or saw sharks are an order of sharks bearing long blade-like snouts edged with teeth, which they use to slash and disable their prey. Most occur in waters from South Africa to Australia and Japan, at depths of 40 metres (130 ft) and below; in 1960 the Bahamas sawshark was discovered in the deeper waters (640 m to 915 m) of the northwestern Caribbean.

I am going to all my followers blogs and letting them know that my giveaway will be over on Saturday the 28th. I had planned sooner but we are able to go out of town and I won't be around a computer. So everyone has a bit longer to go check it out and sign up if they are interested. Blessings, Debbie
