Kids Invent Animals the Darndest Things

For my 7th grade science project, I had to evolve/intelligent design a creature of my making. Here is an excerpt:

My animal the Mantis Raptor lives mostly in the rainforest that inhabits Australia. This animal is also part shark giving it 1/3 gills, making it so my animal can stay under the water for hours without having to come up for air. The Mantis Raptor is warm-blooded and thrives in a very moist and rainy climate. It lives in the upper canopy of the rain forest, which are the tops of the trees. This great creature feeds on animals wondering on the forest floor.

2 angsty MPDG trailer shots that didn't make the final cut

1. (500) Days of Summer: Sure, it is a little bit Being John Malkovich but I rather be on a bus of Zooey Deschanels over Malkoviches any day.

2. Vanilla Sky: I believe there is a similar scene of Penelope Cruz in a wedding dress in Abre Los Ojos but for some reason this got cut from the Crowed American version. Still, works better than her as a mime in Abre.
