Zoo diver, i was wondering if you ever worked woth sawfish they are my favorite shark/ray

Yes. I love them! They are such a crazy animal to work with. We had the (unofficial) first male/female pair of Green Sawfish (Pristis zijsron) in the US at the aquarium in Minnesota. I've also done some limited work with the local Smalltooth Sawfish ( Pristis pectinata) down here in FL. I would love to get more involved with the conservation effort down here, but I just don't have the time to dedicate to it right now.
