Hey there! Welcome to The Master’s College: Wildlife! Today, we have some exciting footage
for you as our film crew has recorded a rare animal, right in our own backyard! Let’s
go take a look!
Vasquez Rocks. A beautiful geographical landmark located in Los Angeles County. This area is
perfect for a relaxing hike. Or recording footage of a previously uncaptured rare species!
This is the Woodfieldus Beckalus. A native to New Zealand, this fine creature is a strong-willed
animal. Often commanding many other animals into submission, this creature’s often seen
leading the pack. Some interesting features are: it is fond of shiny objects; it is always
able to determine the nearest location of chocolate; and on occasion it can be taken
completely by surprise. Other than this, we know very little of the Woodfieldus Beckalus.
That is, until our film crew was able to record this.
What this appears to be, is a Coming of Age ceremony. Once the Beckalus has grown old
enough, her parents toss her onto this rock and the ceremony begins.
Unlike what has previously been observed in Beckalus, this one seems to be timid. When
our crew was a bit too close to the creature, she seemed shy and afraid. Not wanting to
scare her off, our crew set up the camera and left the scene, quietly observing from
a distance. Now on her own, the Woodfieldus Beckalus must
climb on top of the rock to prove her maturity and her own self-reliance, thus completing
the Coming of Age ceremony. But, thanks to our bumbling film crew, the
Beckalus senses that the humans are close. So, being a patient animal, she waits until
she senses the coast is clear.
Once she feels safe in her environment, the Woodfieldus Beckalus resumes the ceremony
and once again attempts to climb the rock. However, the ceremony is far from safe.
One false step and the Beckalus will fall hundreds of feet to her mushy demise.
After the near brush with death, the Woodfieldus Beckalus again attempts to climb the rock.
But she’s been injured. And it may dampen her efforts in completing the ceremony.
Fighting through the massive amounts of pain, the Beckalus revamps her efforts and makes
one final push at completing the ceremony. Using what little strength she has left, the
Beckalus pushes, struggles, wriggles, and tries her best to get on top of the rock.
Soon after, she’s done it. She’s on top. Taking only a moment to catch her breath,
she gets herself fully on top of the rock and takes a stand in victory.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the first time in history that the Woodfieldus Beckalus has
ever been caught on film completing the ceremony! Quickly, our camera men ran down and grabbed
the camera before anything could happen to it.
Well wasn’t that a treat! It’s not every day you get to see a Woodfieldus Beckalus!
Unfortunately, our cameramen died in this operation.
As soon as the ceremony was over, the Woodfieldus Beckalus had a renewed sense of confidence
and purpose. The once frightening humans were no longer
a threat to her. She slowly made her way over to our film crew.
And as soon as she reached them
she ate them. Tune in next time to see The Master’s College:
