It's a spa.</p><p>He must keep his body continually cool-if he needs to seek out some shade, down the hatch!</p><p>It's a castle.</p><p>If a predator lurks nearby-down the hatch!</p><p>If a rival male approaches, he's not just going to go inside and lock the door.</p><p>He warns off the encroacher by giving him the middle fin.</p><p>Flip off pal, this is my land.</p><p>If dorsal fin dominance doesn't scare him off, they will engage in a contest of gaping to show who's boss.</p><p>Victory is his!</p><p>Time for a re-breather.</p><p>Down the hatch!</p><p>And if he's smart, he'll stay there for a while...lest he end up like his rival.\u00a0 Down the hatch.</p>",
