3.12 Lesson 6D, Exercise 1
Max
Were you on holiday last week?
Molly
Yes, I was. I was on safari.
Max
Lucky you! Was it fun?
Molly
Yes, it was amazing. We travelled to Cape Town 
to visit my uncle and the next day we were in 
a jeep in the middle of the African plains! 
Max
Wow!
Molly
From the jeep we could see giraffes, elephants 
and zebras. 
Max
Could you see any lions?
Molly
No, we couldn’t. Not there. But later we crossed 
the plain to a river and there were lions and 
hippos. It was fantastic. And I wasn’t scared!
Max
It sounds incredible. Were there any tigers?
Molly
No, there weren’t. There aren’t any tigers in 
Africa!
3.13 Lesson 6F
Real animals that were once a myth
1 Giant squid
In Ancient Greek times, there were stories about huge sea 
monsters with very long arms. Similar stories appeared in 
the Middle Ages. These monsters lived in very deep water 
but sometimes they attacked sailors. However, were these 
creatures real or were they a myth? For hundreds of years, 
scientists were not sure. But that changed in 1873. a giant 
squid attacked a small boat near the east coast of North 
America. The fishermen in the boat used an axe to cut off 
two of the giant squid’s arms. They were six metres long! 
They showed the arms to the scientists at a local museum. 
The scientists were amazed! Today, everyone knows that 
giant squid are real but people very rarely see them. In fact, 
only one video exists of a giant squid in its natural habitat.
2 Gorillas
About 2,500 years ago, an Ancient Greek explorer called 
Hanno travelled to Africa. On one island near the coast, 
there was a group of strange people with black hair on their 
faces and bodies. He asked the local people for information 
about them: they were ‘gorillae’, they answered. These 
‘people’ were violent, bad-tempered and very strong. And for
hundreds of years, there were similar stories about strange 
creatures – half human and half animal – in the forests of 
Africa. The first scientific description of gorillas only 
appeared in the 19th century. And mountain gorillas were 
a complete mystery until a German soldier discovered them 
in 1902!
3 Okapi
The Ancient Egyptians were familiar with the okapi, 
a strange creature from the forests of Africa. It looked like 
a mix between a zebra and a horse. In the 19th century, the 
famous British journalist and explorer Henry Stanley 
described the same animal. But was it all a myth? 
an English politician in central Africa, Henry Johnston, was 
very interested in Stanley’s description. He decided to find 
the animal. It was not easy, but in 1901 Johnston finally 
managed to get a complete okapi skin. He sent it to London
and the scientists there were amazed. Later, they realised 
that the okapi is not a type of zebra – in fact, it is a relative 
of the giraffe.
