How does a swordfish catch food?

A swordfish uses its sword, a long, flat, pointed bill that extends from its upper jaw, to catch prey. The sword is used to slash and stun fish, squid, and other prey, making them easier to catch and eat. Swordfish are known to be fast swimmers and can reach speeds of up to 60 mph, which helps them chase down their prey. They also use their sword to defend themselves against predators such as sharks and other large fish.
