A sawshark is a type of shark with a long, flattened snout that has sharp, pointed teeth embedded in it. The scientific name for sawsharks is Pristiformes. Sawsharks are found in warm waters around the world and are particularly common in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. They typically live near the bottom of the ocean and use their snouts to slash and stun their prey, such as fish, squid, and crustaceans. Sawsharks are not typically aggressive toward humans, but their snouts can inflict painful injuries if handled incorrectly.
