a little too close

what I hate about the pteracuda most is the way it beats its wings to make you fall down

though i don't like its teeth either

ernie hates its tail whip

We're still fine. Not a super fun excursion today though. Nothing wrong that a little first aid at the hospital can't fix (WE'RE TOTALLY FINE MOM)

gotta name

hi everyone!

Someone got a good picture of The Creature and it's clear that it's some sort of mix between a giant bat and an eel or something.

Oh, our resident zoologist Ernest has informed me that it's a pterodactyl-barracuda mix. Thanks, honey.

Apparently they're going to call it a pteracuda (clever). I'm kind of fond of barradactyl myself, but whatever the ICZN prefers is fine.

We're going on an excursion tomorrow to see if we can capture it. Ooh, what if there's more than one? That is terrifying (but exciting).

WHAT

Hey everyone,

Ernie and I are fine. We're still in Mexico. We're okay.

Yes, we were in that group attacked by that weird creature. Yes, our guide Manuel got eaten (he was so nice, I'm quite sad). Yes, other tourists have sustained serious injuries.

But we're fine.

Actually, we're more than fine, we're FASCINATED.

It's probably wrong of us to be so into something that attacked us, but something about its powerful wings and the way it just went for everyone has made us want to see more. (What do you expect, letting two biologists see a mutant like that.) The glimpses we caught as we raced toward shelter were definitely not enough.

Ernie and I have talked it over and we're going to join the group of ... people (scientists? explorers? daredevils?) on the hunt for this creature. So we'll still be in Mexico for the time being.

Best. Honeymoon. Ever.
