The sawfish's saw is actually an elongation of their head lined with teeth. It contains thousands of ampullary pores which the sawfish uses to detect minute electric fields which surround its prey. The saw is used to find food by digging in the ocean's bottom and by slashing free-swimming fish. The Melbourne Aquarium in Melbourne, Australia has a marvelous collection of Southern Ocean and Antarctic species, as well as a large variety of sharks and rays. AIMG_5862

Two weapons of war from different eras on display at the Citadelle. The Citadelle is a military base and an official residence which is located atop Cap Diamant in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. It was built in the 17th Century as a French fort and expanded by the British between between 1820 and 1831. In its time, because of its location at the top of the hill overlooking a narrow strait and its star shape, it was a mighty defense against a potential threat by the Americans and potential internal revolt.
