Strange creatures

Once upon a time when your Grandpa John was wandering in the Ayer Keroh Forest near Melaka he thought he saw something a little strange. Actually, it was a lot strange. I mean, there aren't any dinosaurs around now, are there?

Ben, Izmaillah, you know about these things. Take a look at this picture. Doesn't that look like a dinosaur to you? Grandpa didn't want to get too close because he didn't know if the creature might be carnivorous. You know what that means, don't you? Yeah, they might eat your Grandad.



But as you know your Grandpa is very brave and even though they were hissing at him he got out his camera and took some photos. He wanted to run but he knew you guys would be pretty disappointed if he told you he'd seen dinosaurs and not taken any photos. You might not have even believed him.

Then he realised that they were trying to protect their eggs. They thought Grandpa was going to turn their babies into a giant omelette. Hey, Grandpa knows a guy in Melaka who has a really big wok. Maybe...



They started to hiss really loudly. 'OK guys, sorry, just kidding. Promise I don't want your babies.' They seemed to calm down after Grandpa said that. Maybe they can understand him. So Grandpa asked, 'What's your name.'

One of them hissed back, 'Saltoposuchus'. Well, that's what it sounded like. Grandpa wasn't going to get any closer, just in case. But because he knew you guys would want him to he got out his note book and wrote it down.

'Now that's S-A-L-T-O. Uh, what did you say again?' They were hissing really loudly again and Grandpa is not sure if he got that name right. He decided it was time to get out of there. But you guys know about dinosaurs maybe you can tell Grandpa what it is. Send him an email. And maybe there are other kinds of creatures in the Ayer Keroh Forest. Do you think Grandpa should go back again for another look? Check out this blog again soon in case he does.

The End (for now)
