In a shady dense mature woodland two gnomes hidden behind a boulder are peering out at a green recumbent mossy and green leafy camouflaged creature delicately picking red berries with its delicate looking hands and placing them into its mouth filled with human looking teeth, but green.
The Scottish Word:

Luik.

Tak a guid luik.

If’n ye can see it.

Ye dinni see them affen cos humans are aye luikin tae kill them.

Because they think they’re dangerous since they’re gigantic, silent, strang an nearly invisible in their habitat.

And because they’re awfie awfie rare as there’s hardly oniewhwaur left fur them tae exist. And they’re vegan.

But maistly because the humans want a trophy afore they go extinct.

So as tae sell the body for big bucks tae mega rich collectors wha huv nithin else tae mak or spend their money on except rare vanishing things.

Translate:

leuk, luik: look.

Take a good look.

If’n you can see it.

You do not see them often cos humans are always looking to kill them.

Because they think they’re dangerous since they’re gigantic, silent, strong and nearly invisible in their habitat.

And because they’re awfully awfully rare as there is hardly anywhere left for them to exist. And they’re vegan.

But mostly because the humans want a trophy before they go extinct.

So as to sell the body for big bucks to mega rich collectors who have nothing else to make or spend their money on except rare vanishing things.
