The chief told us to make a semicircle around the entrance on the warehouse, and to shoot with your gun at the raccoon…
There were several kinds of giant sloths in South America in the Pleistocene era around 500,000 years ago, and living alongside them were giant armadillos like the glyptodonts. They were as big as rhinoceroses, with armour-plating fitted so tightly together that they looked like huge tortoises. All of these giants were edentata, an order of animals which has evolved into today’s sloths, armadillos and anteaters of South America. Edentata literally means without teeth.

As I walk to the deer stand, I can hear the rustling of the grass behind me as it pops back up after we walk on the grass.

My dad walks in front of me, so I grasp the glimmering flashlight tightly.…
