the difference in brains of a sight hunter and a scent hunter

Birchers are absolutely awesome fish! They are beautiful and fierce. They look through the glass at you with intelligence in their eyes. Watching them stalk prey , or ambush them is amazing to behold. My Ornate bircher is my favorite fish (out of many many). They remind me of what the first fish to crawl out of the Primordial Soup and become land creatures must have looked like. I recommend them to anyone who likes unusual and fierce types of fish.

man are they wrong!!!
