A historic passage describes sawfish as oceanic sharks of the Pristidae family with four or five species reaching up to 20 feet. They wield a long rostrum with teeth, are ferocious predators attacking whales and other fish, and roam warm tropical waters often along the Gulf Stream and major rivers like the Mississippi. They give birth to live young and are valued for their rough skin by fishermen.
The Virgin Islands earned their name after Columbus could not find enough saints to honor the sight. He named them the Virgin Islands as a tribute to St. Ursula and her 11,000 virgins, reflecting surprise at their beauty and abundance.
