Día De Los Santos Inocentes

Out for an evening stroll around the estate when I was startled by a horrific noise emanating from the barranco. I rushed to investigate and almost collapsed in shock. Happily chewing away at an olive tree was a most fearsome creature, the like of which I had never seen before. I have heard tales that a fearsome creature of lore stalks the misty hills of Los Guajares in search of feline prey. Some kind of huge creature with slashing claws and huge fangs. The fearsome creature is reportedly golden and has a piercing scream, much like that of a woman in distress or a baby crying. It is reportedly as tall as a man with claws strong enough to scrape bark off trees, and as swift as the wind. Sound scary? Ha, ha.

Factoid: Humongous plant-eating dinosaur unearthed in Spain. Scientists in Spain have found the fossilised remains of one of the largest animals ever to walk the Earth, a gargantuan plant-eating dinosaur up to 37 metres long and weighing between 40 and 48 tonnes, or seven elephants. Turiasaurus riodevensis, named for the region and village in Spain where it was found, lived about 145 million years ago and was a sauropod, that familiar kind of dinosaur with a long neck, long tail and massive body that walked on four stout legs and was probably Europe's biggest ever dinosaur. Turiasaurus riodevensis was a herbivorous dinosaur, in spite of the ferocious appearance of its teeth.
