"Have you ever studied a rhino close-up?  

Take my word for it, it's a certified monster ... 

it's impossible ... but there it is.  

Study an elephant objectively, or a rhino, 

or a hyena, or an aardvark, or a duck-billed platypus, 

or some of the creatures of the sea 

we already know about - the octopus, for instance.  

They were 'monsters' at one time too.  

Perhaps with some better pictures, 

the Loch Ness monster will become civilized."
