Sharks have always created nudity and panic in man. These terrible marine animals also generate eleven deaths throughout the year. There are marine animals without fear of sharks.

One of them is the Lengorado of Barea del Sur (Pardachirus Pavoninus). This fish as soon as the shark approaches with bad intentions, hides a substance that escapes the shark. Recently K. Tatxibana, M. Sakaitanai or K. Japanese researchers Nakanishi have been able to determine the structure of this substance.

The secret of this tongue consists of six different substances. According to these researchers, these substances attack the shark's smell and starve it. This does not attack sharks.

If these substances were synthetically obtained, it is believed that the lives of many bumblebeers in the tropical seas could be saved.
