What on earth is it called?

[Amber]

I once saw a shark that had a nose that looked like a chain saw and it was moving up and down. Anyone know what that is?

That was a fish? Not a shark? Just busted my bubble lol

Amber,

Sharks are fish. The Sawfish is actually a type of ray and very closely related to sharks. There is also a Sawshark.

Walter,
I know they are fish..but..sharks are in a league all of their own

Yes, that is what I saw. And unfortunatly I must say that the ones I saw (quite a few of them) were at the aquarium at Atlantis in the Bahamas.

Thanks for the link
