In this episode of Wildly Curious (formerly For the Love of Nature), host Kim Baker explores the fascinating history of the griffin, the mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head of an eagle. Was this legendary beast inspired by real-world fossils, or is it purely a product of ancient imagination? Kim delves into theories that range from ancient fossils of beaked dinosaurs in the Gobi Desert to the widespread cultural significance of griffins throughout history. Join us as we uncover the true origins of one of mythology's most enduring creatures.

Perfect for mythology enthusiasts, history buffs, and anyone curious about how science and storytelling intertwine.
