Longcomb sawfish
The longcomb sawfish or green sawfish, ''Pristis zijsron'', is a sawfish of the family Pristidae, found in tropical waters of the Indo-West Pacific oceans, from the Red Sea and east Africa to Papua New Guinea, north to southern China, and south to New South Wales, Australia, between latitudes 21° N and 37° S. This critically endangered species can reach a length of up to .
==Description==
The longcomb sawfish has a shark-like body and an elongated, blade-like snout known as a rostrum that has triangular, saw-like teeth on either side. This is the largest sawfish in the genus ''Pristis'' and can reach as much as long with a rostrum measuring . The dorsal (upper) surface is greenish-brown, the dorsal fins are yellowish-grey and the flanks are yellowish fading to a creamy-white colour on the ventral (under) surface. The rostral teeth are greyish-yellow and the central part of the rostrum is a darker shade. These teeth are slender and sharply pointed and usually number 23 to 37 pairs and this enables the longcomb sawfish to be distinguished from the otherwise similar knifetooth sawfish (''Anoxypristis cuspidata'') which has fewer rostral teeth, triangular in shape and blunt.
