These Creatures

These Creatures




A ruby red sea dragon,
a giant tortoise,
a spikey worm with 30 legs,
Snubby, the sneezing monkey
(You can hear him sneezing when it rains),
a tiny snail
(it can’t be seen with a naked eye),
a 10-foot-tall terror bird with a hooked beak,
dementor wasps
that turn their prey into passive zombies,
a hippo-sized vacuum cleaner mammal,
a skeleton-like peacock spider,
enormous sea scorpions in Iowa,
four-legged snakes, with five digits on each foot,
a pig-nosed rat with vampire teeth,
these creatures,
living and dead
were found in jungles and in museums
not long ago.
It just shows
that we don’t know much at all.
