EP 48 - Crazy Cryptid Week: The Grootslang

Today we look directly into the sun! And then journey into the deepest caverns in Africa in search of the Grootslang.

Sungazing is the belief that you don't need to eat. Or drink. All you need is to look at the sun for 45 minutes a day and all other things will become unnecessary. Except for a seeing eye dog.

Then we go to Africa to meet the Grootslang! It's the first day of our Cryptid Week and today we examine the myth, and possible reality, of a monstrous half-elephant/half-snake. And you thought Bigfoot was scary!
