i used to believe that there was a creature called a feather legged tree rabbit! We used to live opposite a wood and my father used to call out "Quick, look, can u see it? - oh, u just missed it. i imagined it to be like a squirrel but with huge ears and feathers down its legs.

when i was a kid my granddad used to tell me there were wolves in the woods to stop me wandering off during picnics. i got so scared that my mum told me there was no such thing as wolves, and they all became extinct years ago. no-one ever corrected this belief, until i was 26 and my hubby laughed at me for still thinking there was no such thing as wolves.

My great-grandmother taught me that mountain goats had legs shorter on one side than the other. I imagined all of those goats needing to walk forever in the direction in which their particular anatomy allowed them to walk without falling over.

When I was young, my brothers told me that hammerhead sharks killed you by literally hammering you on the head. I has nightmares about driving through a wave and then being pounded to death by an angry hammerhead!

When I was a child,I believed that any type of small fish would swim under your toenail and get into your bloodstream.I also believedThat big fish will try to bite you,if they succeed you'lll have a huge bloody mark of your skin and that you'll get hives from it,that is if it didn't eat one of your limbs.

When I was younger and watching a lot of western movies I believed that horses had the power to bring cowboys back to life by licking their faces . This seemed to happen a lot when a cowboy had been shot or knocked out . Their horse would stand over them give them a lick and they would be revived .

We had a wooden crocodile from Africa and my brother told me it was just dried out, and if I poured water on it, it would come alive. I believed it, and even warned my friends not to do that or it would eat us!

I thought that if you saw a stag or an elk head mounted on a wall, the rest of the animal was on the other side in the next room.

When I was little, I saw a possum in the middle of the road (dead, of course). I asked my mom what it was and she said, "Roadkill, sweetie. That's what happens when you run out in the road."
The next week, we were at the zoo and a woman came out of a room holding a live possum. I screamed at the very top of my lungs, "Look, Mom! Roadkill!!!"

I believed that wolf and fox are husband and wife, and rabbit is their child.
Marius
I believed that cow and horse are wife and a husband.

When my neighbor was about five, she ran up to a bunch of older boys stomping on those prickly "monkey balls" that come from trees, and started screaming, "Don't hurt the monkeys!" Apparently, she thought monkeys came from eggs.
I used to believe that the first time I heard about an animal was the first time ANYONE had heard about it. The platypus was discovered sometime in the early to mid-nineties.

When I saw a picture of someone milking a cow, (with a bucket underneath it) I thought that person was trying to encourage it to pee.
