I'm assuming they are a protected species now? (Or have we driven them to extinction too?) You might not be able to import these into the States anymore, justifying the prices we're seeing. I never knew what the creature was like. For some reason, I associated them with the sword fish, (you know - like tools. In your tool box you have a saw, and a, uh, sword…) but, of course, that's wrong. It is like a Ray and can end up in shallow water - streams and lakes. Like a lost world prehistoric animal. Super cool - and even more so now.
