International Sawfish Day 2025: 6 Interesting Facts About These Carpenter Sharks

International Sawfish Day 2025: 6 Interesting Facts About These Carpenter Sharks

October 17 is recognised as International Sawfish Day, a day dedicated to one of the ocean’s most unusual and fascinating residents, sawfish. With their long snouts lined like a saw, these striking creatures capture attention and curiosity wherever they roam. International Sawfish Day highlights their importance to healthy seas and serves as a call to action, not just for scientists, but for everyone, to notice, learn about, and care for these incredible water animals. Here are some interesting facts about sawfish that you should know: ALSO READ: The Art Of Leather: Five Essential Rituals For Climate-Conscious Care Sawfish Are Rays Despite their shark-like shape, sawfish actually belong to the ray family. Unlike most rays, they have caudal fins, which they use to propel themselves through the water. Their bodies are flattened, but not as much as other rays like the eagle ray, giving them a distinctive profile. This unique combination of traits allows sawfish to navigate both shallow coastal waters and deeper regions with ease. Five Different Species Of Sawfish For years, marine biologists debated how many sawfish species existed. A consensus was finally reached in 2013, confirming five living species divided into two genera. These include the largetooth sawfish, smalltooth sawfish, dwarf sawfish, green sawfish, and narrow sawfish. While the narrow sawfish belongs to the genus Anoxypristis, the other four fall under the Pristis genus.  Sawfish Are Not Sawsharks Or Swordfish Sawfish are often mistaken for sawsharks or swordfish, but these are entirely different species. Sawsharks inhabit much deeper waters and have extended rostrums, yet they are rarely encountered by humans. Swordfish also possess elongated head appendages, but unlike sawfish, these 'swords' lack teeth and are not flattened. Recognising these differences is crucial for understanding and protecting sawfish populations. The Sawfish’s Saw The most iconic feature of the sawfish is its 'saw,' which is an extension of the skull made of cartilage covered in skin. Each edge of the saw is lined with rostral teeth, giving it the characteristic saw-like appearance. The saw also houses sensory organs called ampullae of Lorenzini, enabling sawfish to detect the electric impulses of their prey. Remarkably, they use their saws both to swipe through schools of fish in open water and to pin prey against the seabed, demonstrating their clever hunting strategies. Sawfish Are Among The World’s Largest Fish Sawfish are among the ocean’s largest fish, with some species reaching impressive lengths. The largetooth, smalltooth, and green sawfish can grow up to six meters, with occasional reports of seven-meter specimens. The dwarf and narrow sawfish are smaller, averaging just over three meters. Their size, combined with their unique saw, makes them both awe-inspiring and vulnerable in the wild. Sawfish In Freshwater Some sawfish, particularly the largetooth sawfish, venture into freshwater environments. Sightings have been reported in places like Lake Nicaragua and over 830 miles up the Amazon River. Young largetooth sawfish spend their early years in freshwater habitats, whereas other species like the smalltooth, green, and dwarf sawfish prefer saltier waters. This adaptability plays a crucial role in their life cycle and survival.

IPL 2026 Auction: 4 Major Signings Facing Possible Release Ft. Sanju Samson

IPL 2026 Auction: 4 Major Signings Facing Possible Release Ft. Sanju Samson

The Indian Premier League (IPL) is perhaps the most competitive T20 franchise leagues out there. The player auction for its next season is expected to take place later this year, and it should be safe to say that quite a few teams would be planning on securing some big names. However, we might also get to see some notable releases ahead of the auction, particularly from franchises that didn't have a satisfactory outing in 2025. Here are four such players who might be released ahead of the IPL 2026 auction.  IPL 2026 Auction: Big Stars Who Might Be Released 1) Venkatesh Iyer Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) signed Venkatesh Iyer during the 2025 auctions for a massive a massive Rs 23.75 crore. Unfortunately, his outings with the bat failed to justify the price tag.  Although Iyer has been a key performer for the side in the past, KKR may look to free up space in their purse by releasing him. 2) Mitchell Starc The Delhi Capitals (DC) had a major overhaul in their squad last year, and their initial performances rendered them as one of the favorites for the title. Aussie veteran, Mitchell Starc, was one of their biggest signings, acquired for Rs 11.75 crore, and while he did pick 14 wickets in 11 matches, his economy of 10.17 did significant damage.  3) Devon Conway Devon Conway had a forgettable year with the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in 2025, making just 156 runs in 6 matches. The 5-time champions finished at the very bottom of the table, and it goes without saying that they would be determined to turn things around in IPL 2026. Hence, Conway might be released before the auction to potentially acquire a more dynamic and consistent opening batsman. 4) Sanju Samson Sanju Samson was a part of the Asia Cup winning Indian squad, and had a decent run with the bat in the tournament, which is why he might be a surprising name to see on this list. He scored 285 runs in 9 matches for the Rajasthan Royals (RR) last year as well, but rumors have surfaced of late that the wicket keeper-batsman wants out from the franchise. If they are supposed to be true, then we could see Samson be released from the RR squad ahead of the IPL 2026 auction.
