Lost World, The (Michael Crichton) - How Did the Snake Turn Into a Rat?
If you read the chapter interior on two pages then you will find that there is a mistake. When Eddie bends over Levine's backpack, a large rat jumps out of it and he says, 'Jesus!'. A bit further down the page Eddie says, 'What kind of snake do you think that was?' What I would like to know is where the snake came from? Can any-one explain this to me?
They are actually discussing, of all things, a snake. Before they saw a rat, the author notes a bright green snake quickly crawling away as they approached.
Rat, snake.... Big difference...
