https://www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu/sawfish/conservation/smalltooth/

Sawfish may look somewhat like sharks, but with wide pectoral fins and flatter bodies, they are actually modified rays. Their rostrum (snout), instead of teeth, has specialized denticles which are a type of scales, that they use to stun and injure small fish before eating them. Smalltooth sawfish gr

It is of vital importance to, on occasion, consider how little we know about the spinning rock we all live on. Take coral reefs, for example. Given how much they’ve been studied, you’d think we’ve learned just about everything about them by now. But talk to a marine biologist, and they will quickly

The Andes’ Mountainous Paradox: So tall, so young – Research News

https://www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu/science/the-andes-mountainous-paradox-so-tall-so-young/

When asked if mountains grow slowly and steadily versus in rapid spurts, most people intuitively gravitate to the „slow and steady“ model. Mountains, we are taught, take an incomprehensibly long time to build up their scads of boulders, jagged peaks and high-altitude plateaus. In fact, most known
