ANIMAL FORTEANA


In the beginning of things men were animals and animals men. ~ Algonquin saying

"For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much — the wheel, New York, wars and so on — whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man — for precisely the same reasons." ~ The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy

From EsoterX: Bears, Ainu and more

A blog I recently discovered has become of my favorite blogs: EsoterX. Most recent entry is about bears, and the importance of being mindful. Oh, there's a lot of history and mythology in there as well. Bear Necessities: Ursine Origins of the Menominee, Ainu, and Arcadians.
