I saw that show on Coco too, I was also charmed at how she asked for a pet kitten, and named it "All Ball" I would love to add to the topic of Animals and myth, but my muddled brain is having a hard time making anything concise and I'd go on forever.
I do want to add a story, which I Swear is not an Urban Myth. As a matter of fact the former police officer who told the story, later said he'd regretted telling it because he was plagued by interviewers from all over the world.
It happened last April, in Vancouver B.C.
The man, I think his name was Victor Davidson I can't remember it off hand, (I saved the newspaper clipping somewhere) was walking down Barclay St. which is near Stanley Park its fairly common to see Ducks walking down that Street.
Anyway, a Duck came up to him and tugged on his pant leg, then walked about 20 ft away from him.
He ignored the first tug, but the duck did this 3 times so finally he followed it. It was a mother duck and she led him to a sewer grate. He looked down and saw that her ducklings which must have been following her had slipped through the grating.
Being a sensitive guy, he called Busters towing company, and they arrived and removed the grating and rescued the ducklings with a strainer. As soon as they were rescued they reunited with their mother and waddled off. Hmmmmm?
