Mystery Creature 2

Rating: 5.0


Already you are thinking it's not real.
Now, I can tell you, I know how you feel.
Every picture can be photo-shopped.
Little can be done; it just can't be stopped.
Eyes can be deceived; we can be misled.
Petty doubts can be placed in any head.
However, sometimes what you see is true,
And how are you to know when it is not?
Not all who look quite rich are well-to-do.
That apple that seems ripe could hold some rot.
For now, to trust your eyes, or trust your head?
Is it possible this is what it seems?
So is it real or is it fake instead?
Honest, straight and true, or just stuff of dreams?

You, my friend, are a master of the hidden anagram! Has anyone else noticed that the first letter of each line spells out AN ELEPHANT FISH? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Peters' elephant-nose fish seems to fit. According to Wikipedia, they are native to the rivers of West and Central Africa, in particular the lower Niger River basin, the Ogun River basin and in the upper Chari River.

They are also found in the Congo River. I was watching a program on Nat Geo Wild when they showed this fish, but they just called it an elephant fish. I was intrigued. I had never heard of it before, so I googled 'Elephant Fish' and they had this picture and many others. This one is real, but some of them are fake and very funny. Thanks for commenting. Comments always make my day.
