So there is no "sea elephant reported from the coast of Gambia" in my article, because no such creature has ever been reported.

Interesting, but very likely indeed to have resulted from a confusion between Gambo and Trunko. Thanks for bringing it to my attention, though.

My frank response was that somebody had not read one of your books very carefully and had confused Gambo with Trunko. Did you know of the situation and did you have any opinion on that?<br /><br />Fo my own blog I notice there is a very strong interest in Giant Anacondas. And Toledo, Ohio- but I know why THAT is.<br /><br />Best Wishes, Dale D.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
