LOCH NESS MONSTER


Its prehistoric form, motionless against a modern backdrop, waited. Its tongue sensed the air, flicking in and out of a strong, scaly jaw. Nostrils quivered, and eyes scanned the car park. Scales covered muscle, muscle covered bone, instinct and body transcended time.

Nearly a metre and a half separated its sharp front teeth from its powerful tail. It waited, confident that it was the predator. Finally, with an authorative strut it paced through the car park toward its lair in the reeds arising from the lake. The scourge of the feral kittens slid easily into the water, and sped silkily to the reeds with just its head exposed before disappearing.

Myth ceased to be myth, as physical evidence substantiated the existence of a dinosaur amongst Thailand’s future. Nessie was no more, and the monitor lizard was real. Incontrovertible evidence will be posted soon, but until then here’s a picture of the beast’s home.
