Freshwater sawfish.These amazing animals can use their saw to dig around looking for prey, or injure and then catch and eat fish by slashing the saw left and right among a shoal of fish. They are rare, with their last strongholds being Northern Australia and Florida. This is the large-tooth sawfish, Prisitis pristis. This photo is the larger of the two sawfish at the Cairns aquarium.

Mother manatee and calf swimming out of the inlet. 

Surprisingly curious, this young turtle swam around us in the shallows during our way out to the Salt Pier, a gorgeous dive site on Bonaire.

This is the underside of a pretty pink starfish up against the glass in a tank at the Cairns aquarium.
