How to Train Your Cuttlefish: Dragons Part 2
from A Little Knowledge Hosted by Jackson Connor & Joseph Monaco
This week, Jackson dives into dragons, mythical creatures, and some of the bizarre animals lurking beneath the ocean. His star witness? The cuttlefish, a strange little sea creature whose ability to change its appearance somehow becomes evidence that dragons may have actually existed. Joe, feeling increasingly enlightened, contributes whenever he can while Jackson explains how mythical creatures may have evolved from real animals, mistranslations, exaggerations, and stories brought home by travelers returning from exotic lands. Could centuries of storytelling turn an unusual animal into a dragon? Could a giant squid become a sea monster? And most importantly, has the cuttlefish finally cracked the case? Probably not. But we now have a little knowledge about it.
