With the strength of a thousand oxen, the "mythical soft-beaked fur-bearing owl"* pushed aside the veil at the entrance to the hyperspace jump from the Amazon pyramid to reveal it's first glimpse of PF.
*(I liked that Danger)

"Our new genetic technology has allowed us to fuse organic and inorganic material together to create this new beast called Panthera leo pertica. We have noticed that the diet of Panthera leo pertica is significantly different from that of Panthera leo. While Panthera leo hunts mainly gazelle, buffalo, and deer, Pathera leo pertica exclusively hunts giraffes, birds sleeping in trees, and dinosaurs. Since it is not able to reach down and drink water, leo pertica drinks exclusively the blood of giraffes and rainwater. We have given Panthera leo pertica the English name 'Pertilion'. Disclaimer (to be read quickly and unintelligibly): (Not for children under 3 years of age. Batteries not included. Genetica (c) is not responsible for any harm to property or life caused by the use of Pertilion. Warranty void if allowed to breed.)"

The really sad part is that the sign on the other side of the road reads:
Holiday Inn
Next Exit

Sign Shop Supervisor: Have you finished with the "Emergency Phone 174 Yards Ahead" sign yet?
Sign Painter: Yeah, hours ago. The road crew is out placing it right now.

Bloody hell, Hypno... it's just a picture, not a cover illustration for your novel.
