A truck like this one pulled into the forest this morning before daylight! Shelby and Petra F Squirrel watched, fascinated, as several people spilled out and set up cameras and microphones right under the tree where they had slept.
It’s at the edge of the forest by the main road, where Shelby and Petra have been on sentry duty for several days. They have taken up temporary residence closer to where the dangers arrive from the main road.
It’s not long before loud rumbling that shakes the very ground takes over the already confusing scene. By now several other animals have gathered to observe.
The source of the approaching noise fills all of them with absolute terror! What comes into view is huge, threatening, with a dangerous jaw that looks big enough to swallow Charlie whole!
When this monster machine is left parked, with a smaller version right beside it, the animals jump at the opportunity for sabotage!!! Morning will tell them how well they succeeded!
Chapter 8 of the SHELBY F SQUIRREL sequel: ENTER TYRANNOSAURUS REX.
