An unusual phenomenon has struck the Florida Keys, leading to the deaths of 28 endangered smalltooth sawfish, marine creatures virtually unchanged for millions of years. Scientists and federal wildlife officials are puzzled by the cause of this sudden die-off, characterized by erratic spinning behavior observed in these ancient marine creatures. In response to this alarming situation, an unprecedented rescue effort has been initiated, aiming to save the remaining sick sawfish.
