Sawfish The ordinary fish from the ray family has been conducting mainly the demersal lifestyle. "The fish likes to swim, although it is not alive." It is not aware of having its brave saw and the holes called the spiracles. The spiracles are paired. Infusing. The saw had two holes. Once it drank by them only. It thought they were solely for the purpose of scooping water into its mouth, that it will always be drinking. It was wrong. The sawfish has a universal muzzle as stated by TVP. That's not true. TVP is lying. The fish has already guessed that. Its big saw has causative power possible thanks to a number of the electro-receptors. They allow to sense both danger and a victim, and even to kill. From now on the fish will no longer be a victim. The fish, the mermaid, the woman who is insensitive from the waist down. The sea inhabitants are afraid of the emancipated fishes. They are neither necessary nor useful. And in addition they grow and reproduce slowly. They do not want to reproduce! Bitches. Egoists. Rebellions. They disturb the peace of the Pacific Ocean. The characteristic saw is, however, a valued trophy; so the fish are often caught for the aquariums and the galleries. In the nature and culture they are rare. They are put down to the red, probably left, book of the endangered animals. The girls’ saws from Kuku Kuku can be seen at the exhibition in the www.CyberEmpathy.com
