Sawfish On The Brink Of Extinction, Gone In Over Half Its Natural Habitats

There are lots of unique, wild-looking fish living under the sea — and the sawfish is definitely one of them! But if we don’t act now to save the positively prehistoric ocean- and freshwater-dwellers, future generations may never catch glimpses of the “hedge trimmers with fins.”

On the Verge of Extinction. Sadly, the sawfishes are not all right and rank among the most endangered fish. According to a recent study, their range has dwindled from 90 coastlines to about 35. Brunei, China, Djibouti, El Salvador, Haiti, Iraq, Japan, Timor-Leste, and Taiwan have all lost their sawfish populations. The animal's two remaining "lifeboat coastlines" are the United States and Australia.
