Sawfish

Today I got to feed the sawfish. They are some of the goofiest, most retarded looking animals in the world, but they are HUGE. The largest one is about 15 feet long and it's "teeth" are about 3 to 4 inches.

Yesterday I got to feed the eagle ray pups. They're about a foot from wingtip to wingtip, and their tails are about 3 feet long. They come up and eat out of your hand because the other reef fish won't let them get any of the food we throw in so we have to personally deliver it to them. They have a palate that can crush thru oysters and clams, but they are incredibly delicate when you let them suck shrimp and clams out of your fingers.
