   I can’t answer most of those questions. But they are refugees   
   and the last of their (four species). One of the species is   
   gilled and also air (oxygen) breathing. One of the species   
   is photosynthesizing and also oxygen breathing, so breaths   
   oxygen and may absorb carbon dioxide through the skin.   
   Again the other two species are a two-spirit transitioning   
   species and a four-spirit transitioning species, as I have   
   discussed before.
