Some lies about Weasels

[fatkraken]

 Pliny the Elder [1st century CE] (Natural History, Book 8, 33): A weasel's hole can be easily found because of the foulness of the ground around it. If a basilisk is thrown into a weasel's hole, the stench of the weasel will kill the basilisk, though the weasel will also die. (Book 8, 41): If a weasel is injured in a fight with mice while hunting

Haha, are these from the Aberdeen Project?

Wolves and hyenas have some fantastic, uh, lore behind them, too.

apparently vultures give birth without mating and parrots have to be beaten over the head with iron rods to make them talk

Awesomesauce. I read somewhere that squirrels are actually a type of horse, and the colour blue sends them into a frenetic rage.

If you write me some suitably non-anachronistic lies, I can publish them at LT :)
