Talk:Kalidah

Kalidahs = Crocobears?
My cousins/best friends as a young teenager used to own an ancient copy of one of the Oz books - I always thought it was The Wizard of Oz, though I also didn't realize at the time that there were more books in the series than just the one. Weird...I don't recall the kalidah being in it at all, but I recall the book referring to "crocobears" - obviously a cross between a crocodile and a bear (looking online I find "croco-bears" under some guy named Steve Cole, but this book was much more ancient than that probably is). While normally I would have blew it off, the image for this article shows what happened to the crocobears as I recall in my book - they were chasing the group across a ravine on a log, and the Tin Woodman chopped it down and they fell, "dashing on the rocks below". The pure gruesomeness of the situation at that age cemented my memory of it all. Are the crocobears of my youth just some republishing's alteration of the kalidah? Does anyone have any incite into this? I don't recall the age of the book but knowing the other books of the caliber in the house I believe it was within the first 20 years of the 20th century. -- Somarinoa (talk) 00:12, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
