About This Activity
Beneath the murky, shallow waters lives one of the ocean’s most extraordinary creatures—the smalltooth sawfish! Slicing and dicing through the water, these unmistakable rays have a super-long snout, or rostrum, lined with sharp teeth. Sawfish use their rostrum to delicately locate their prey—then THRASH! With one swipe of the saw, their prey is stunned, making mealtime easy. This week, we’re going to thrash around in the water with some sawfish Marco Polo and nose our way into the mangroves to try to catch a glimpse of these elusive, cartilaginous fish. Campers will make their very own rostrums out of palm guards and play plenty of fast-paced hunting games that mimic sawfish movements. It’s going to be a smalltooth week with BIG fun!
