Ep 25: Thunderbirds
On the 25th episode of Legend, Amy tells Samm all about Thunderbirds.
Thunderbirds, not to be confused with Thundercats, are a prominent part of Native America Culture. They are said to have great power (maybe even a super power or two) and could either protect or destroy humans without batting an eye. So why are we talking about them? Because people are still reporting sightings of them! All the way from Alaska, Pennsylvania and even near the Jersey Shore. Are they really seeing the Thunderbird? Or is it a pterosaur or maybe even your run of the mill Condor? Come find out with us!
