"Stories about mythological creatures exist since ancient times in religious texts, folklore and other mythological literature around the world. These mythical creatures have inspired literature, performance arts, cinema and even our most favorite toys. Humanity hasn't stopped creating mythology—the most recent example is the "extraordinary world" that the movie Avatar portrayed. So while the humanity around the world keeps admiring mythology, here's our list of the seven creatures that left us awestruck…." Main page link Amicalement Armand

"There are wild elephants in the country, and numerous unicorns, which are very nearly as big. They have hair like that of a buffalo, feet like those of an elephant, and a horn in the middle of the forehead, which is black and very thick. They do no mischief, however, with the horn, but with the tongue alone; for this is covered all over with long and strong prickles. The head resembles that of a wild boar, and they carry it ever bent towards the ground. They delight much to abide in mire and mud. 'Tis a passing ugly beast to look upon, and is not in the least like that which our stories tell of as being caught in the lap of a virgin; in fact, 'tis altogether different from what we fancied." -- Marco Polo. |

I was going to respond to Waco Joe, but I learnt something very interesting: "The difficulties involved in hunting snipe gave rise to the term sniper, meaning a sharpshooter or someone who shoots from a hidden location." (Wikipedia Snipe entry). |
