I don't know if Conseil was busy with their classification, but as for me, I looked at their silver bellies, their fearsome mouths bristling with teeth, from a viewpoint less than scientific-- more as a victim than as a professor of natural history.
No sé si Conseil se ocupaba en clasificarlos, pero, por mi parte, yo observaba su vientre plateado y su boca formidable erizada de dientes desde un punto de vista poco científico, y, en todo caso, más como víctima que como naturalista.
