Chimeras: Fact, Fiction, and Fantasy

Legends of Greek mythology and... real? Not real? Chimera lore runs deep: monsters with head of lions, wing of eagle, and tail of snakes. In truth, though, there's nothing impossible about the idea of a chimera — Ben and Alex get to the truth behind these abominations on a journey through history, language, psychology, and all the science in between. Also, IN THE NEWS we tackle brunch, bellinis, and BEES! Join Naturalish every week for your one-stop-shop in all things science. Maybe science. Probably science.
