Start with what a sawshark is

This page should clear up the basic identity problem before it asks the reader to sort individual sawshark species.

Use the sixgill pair carefully

Anna's and Kaja's sixgill sawsharks are good support pages, but they should not do all the work by themselves.

Keep the comparisons grounded

A practical recognition guide is more helpful than a string of loosely related fact pages.
