[Alfredo Jornet Gil]

Yes, the bully-like behaviour, orange hue etc. looks familiar. But it seems to me that this is quite a misnomer, as sarcasm and irony are way more refined and sophisticated than the type of displays (and circus) that we get to see in politics these days. Unfortunately, I am afraid that the greed and wickedness that characterises what goes on behind the scenes of show politics is far removed from the noble, honest territorial behaviour these fish display...

A simplified version of Game of Thrones, Henry?
Thanks for sharing, as they say.

So sorry if this seems silly, but I was wondering how many of you chatters knew about the sarcastic fringehead. I confess that until watching an episode of of the Life series on Netflix about fish, I didn't know that it was legal to use "sarcastic" in naming a fish. You couldn't invent it. I have linked you to a youtube video of sarcastic fringehead "culture". A sort of meme for of how fish could prefigure American politics. Most fish aren't so crabby, but maybe it's what makes us special. Note the orange hue in the opening scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjexNXJYblQ.
