Giant guitarfish  (Rhynchobatus djiddensis)

Description

Its large, elongated, greyish-coloured body, two tall dorsal fins, and a large scythe-like tail give this fish its remarkable shark-like appearance (3) (4) (5). Large black eyespots occur at the base of each pectoral fin; there is a distinctive black cross between the eyes and the upper body is marked by rows of small white spots. The snout is pointed and the mouth is small, with flattened, pavement-like teeth (2).
