Three endangered small tooth sawfish pups were born at seaworld,
Orlando in Florida.
This is just such great news. Now, according to seaworld,
it's the only aquarium right now in the US to have this endangered species.
Now they are two female and one male sawfish. They were born in July.
They look as you can see sort of like small sharks and they're about 2 ft long,
Hannah at birth.
Now, while they belong to the same fish group of sharks, sawfish are technically
categorized as rage.
Now,
Doctor Joseph Gaspard is vice president of Zoological Operations at seaworld,
Orlando.
And he says, quote,
this is an extraordinary success in the realm of sawfish conservation and
it is our privilege to provide world
class care for this critically endangered species.
This is just such a win
for the environment when you see that you know, life is surviving.
Now, we have three of them. Hopefully
they'll go on to have pups of their own.
But I tell you, if I saw one of those women next to me, I might get a little bit, uh,
me too because they look like sharks. Apparently they were endangered in 2003.
And seaworld is saying because of these birds,
they can hopefully turn the tides and get more
of these fish back into their natural habitat.
To your point. This is great news.
