Animals have co-existed with humans since the dawn of man, so it is hardly surprising that lions, lizards, bats, wolves and even the esteemed and rarely sighted giant squid have all meandered their way into legends and lore down the centuries. t is quite possible that sailors? fantastical tales of beguiling mermaids and sirens may be based on seals or large fish sighted at sea. The dreaded werewolf may originate in wild hairy outlaws or the deep relationship humans have enjoyed alongside man?s best friend.
