I was observing the landscape of
Madagascar as this fascinating biped
with what seems to be feet protectors
began to walk toward my general
direction it was slowly traversing a
large riverbed from what I could make
out it was looking for eggshell
fragments of a long-lost species the
species was the elephant bird whom last
roamed the earth 1,000 years ago its
feet protectors we're like nothing I
have witnessed before it hadn't noticed
me yet but I definitely noticed it I was
fascinated by its fascination with the
remnants of the lost species I observed
it as it analyzed shell fragments I
finally appeared before it Andes didn't
even bat an eye which was quite amusing
it was exuberant and kept rambling on
about eggshells and giant eggs it was
unaware that I could understand it but I
did not wish to startle it with a
telepathic intrusion I could see the
greatness in this young attenborough's
eyes I could foresee that he would
discover something wonderful today and
go on to do great things for the earth I
decided to move on with my observations
of the landscape and let the creature
explore its curious nature this lab hood
appeared so silently while I was in
grossed in searching was obviously
mystified as to why I should be
groveling beneath the bush out in the
desert miles from anywhere
he obviously spoke only his local
language when he left I was quite sure
he hadn't the faintest idea of what I've
been trying to explain and was probably
going back to his village to report that
he had met a harmless lunatic
