A new study on the distinctive sharp snout of sawfish has shown researchers that the saw-like nose might be even more useful in hunting that previously thought. Not only can it be used to swipe and stab, it also acts as a sensor to help track down their next meal, reports PhysOrg. The function of the sensory snout is twofold, with receptors detecting water movement as well as the electrical fields produced by their prey.
