Can you still remember, once long -long ago, when we was still young, good looking and innocent, the strange animal myths and legends our hunting heroes told us?
Or have you since experienced firsthand some strange myths about wild animals or seen a culture where they believe it for a fact?
For example:
That Steenbuck never drink water
[Busted!]
That leguans drank all the cows milk
[Busted!]
Numerous myths about hyenas and witch doctors
[Busted!]
The sacred white crocodile of Lake Fundudzi [Venda]
[They existed but the legend is busted!]
Black mambas chasing people, and they are faster than a man can run
[Plausible?]
Honey bird
[confirmed, plausible? revenge-busted?]]
You will see a Pangolin only twice in your lifetime. The first time it brings luck, and the second time you will die!
[Busted!]
Which animal myths and legends do you have experience with or know about?
[Lions, elephant, spiders, owls etc.]
