Detail of a sawfish illustration in sZakariya al-Qazwini's 'Aja'ib al-Makhluqat wa Ghara'ib al-qat wa Mawjudat (The Wonders of he Creatures and the Marvels ofasit, Creation), an important work of Islamic cosmography which was probably first written in the 1260s, and for centuries after was reproduced across the Islamic world. This illuminated manuscript was made in Wasit, Iraq in 1280 CE and is the earliest known surviving version. Image: cropped portion of a page with Arabic script (mostly black, some text highlighted in red) and a monochrome illustration of a sawfish framed in a red rectangle.

Cropped image of a page from an illuminated manuscript with Naskh script and an illustration of what was originally a sawfish, but in later versions and like this one often looked more like a swordfish as the "blade" was drawn without the "teeth" details seen in the earliest known version.

Sawfish use their tooth-studded rostrums to detect electrical signals from prey hidden in sand. These intelligent rays are critically endangered with some species down 90%. Habitat destruction and fishing nets threaten their survival. Support marine conservation! #InternationalSawfishDay

It’s #InternationalSawfishDay. Celebrate this remarkable species!
The Martuwarra / Fitzroy River is recognised as the world's last stronghold for the freshwater sawfish. It’s also a very important nursery, serving as a sanctuary for juveniles.

Peche Espade (Sawfish) “This marine animal is very difficult to catch; being caught, it tears the nets with its snout to get away, thus making a passage for other fishes caught with it.” “In 1983, The Morgan Library & Museum received, as the bequest of Clara S. Peck, an extraordinary volume whose beautiful paintings and descriptions document the plant, animal, and human life of the Caribbean late in the sixteenth century. Spaniards had already begun to exert influence over the indigenous people of the area when explorers from England and France arrived, among them Sir Francis Drake. The volume, known as the Drake Manuscript and titled Histoire Naturelle des Indes when it was bound in the eighteenth century, gives us a wonderful picture of daily life at the time of Drake's many visits to the region. Although Drake's connection to the manuscript is uncertain, he is mentioned on more than one occasion by the authors. Drake himself is known to have painted, but none of his work survives.”
