Ah, what a long year. Finally, summer rolled around, and you had just purchased a ticket to Copacabana Beach, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. What a wonderful time it was, dipping your toes in the sand, occasionally stumbling upon seashells, and overall relaxing. Nothing could ruin this amazing vacation, right? ...Right...?

One day you woke up, still in the early days of your vacation, in your fancy seaside resort, and turned on the TV to get your morning news. As fancy as it was, you still had to admit that getting a nice cup of coffee before you went out was still enjoyable.

It quickly flashed to a news channel. Your dingus-y self soon realized that the entire thing was in Portuguese and you couldn't understand a damn thing. But something caught your eye...

The anchor began to speak.

"Relatos de algum tipo de “pássaro” gigante têm surgido na região da Praia de Copacabana. Solicita-se a todos os moradores que tenham cautela redobrada durante a noite e à tarde, de preferência portando algum tipo de arma. Mostraremos algumas fotos dessas criaturas e depois como achamos que elas são.^"

Blurry pictures of some huge, bird-like animal flashed upon the TV screen, most during a darker setting with the animal having glowing eyes. A few seconds later, a drawing of what the animal might've looked like in life appeared.

Throughout the entire day, you couldn't shrug off the thought of the giant bird attacking those people. What did it want? Why was it here? It looked like something that would exist millions of years ago, really.

Whatever. That didn't matter. After a long day at the beach, you were heading back to the hotel. The air was cool, and the sky was dark. All seemed fine until a low "mooing" call could be heard from the nearby jungle.

^I sincerely apologize if any of the translations are wrong here. I don't speak Portuguese, so I simply used google translate for it. Forgive me.
