Bulging eyes, gills spread to the sides… Such is the final image of a face frozen in a grimace of fear. Throughout its life this creature never uttered a single word, yet this in no way diminishes either its dignity or the importance of its role in the earthly world. Moreover, in a world where too many people chatter endlessly, the animal’s silence acquires an even deeper meaning, granting restless bipeds the chance to feel themselves a part of nature. Thank you, animal.
