Animal Magic

For the Birds

If Jesus died for the sins of the world - why did two birds have to die for his sins?  And why do Indigenous Americans tell stories about ravens playing tricks on people?  And what happened to the Cratchit family goose in A Christmas Carol?

Your Smiling Face

In this very special episode, the featured creature is James Taylor (or, more specifically, his eyebrows).  

Two By Two

What's the first thing Noah did when the Ark landed?  Can elephant sounds be translated into English?  And why do I have to live in an artificial primate habitat?

Fish Story

Why does James Bond look so silly under water?  Was Jonah swallowed by a fish or a whale?  And how big can a fish story get?  

Holy Cow

If you and I buy milk from the same grocery story, and it comes from the same cow - does that make us siblings?  What's the difference between a Sacred Cow and a Golden Calf?  And how could a cow have resolved the cosmic conflicts in Viking Mythology?

Rabbit on the Moon

Why is the Easter Bunny male?  And how does he lay eggs?  The ancient Aztecs and Chinese agree there's a rabbit on the moon.  How did it get there?  And how do all these rabbits survive on the streets of Buffalo?
