well, might i offer some more strange beasts to this worthy collection...
first, i give you the Alligator Snapping Turtle...
it is large, dangerous and extremely well armoured... one even lived in a Gosford sewer for fifteen years.
next, i give you the Bactrian Camel...
a stranger mammal i am hard pressed to find.
the rest of my presentation takes us to the depths of the ocean ... i give you the Manta Ray...
large and graceful this gentle creature is remarkably beautiful for all its weirdness.
nex, i give you the Narwhal...
a strange mix of manitee and unicorn, this creature reminds me of a mythological beast.
and lastly, i give you all, the Octopus...
boneless, spineless and extremely intelligent, this creature comes in many different shapes and sizes.
three cheers for strange beasts.
