Welcome to Erin Mankie's Cabinet of Curiosity's, a production of I Heart Radio and Grimm

and Mild.

Our world is full of the unexplainable.

And if history is an open book, all of these amazing tales are right there on display,

just waiting for us to explore.

Welcome to the Cabinet of Curiosity's.

It's easy to love furry, fluffy animals like dogs, cats, and rabbits.

There are pets and family members, and they're responsible for some of the best videos on

the internet, but so many animals are misunderstood and maligned simply for acting the way nature

intended.

People didn't think too much about shark attacks before the 1970s, but in 1975, a film came

out that changed the way we see the water and what lies beneath it forever.

Steven Spielberg's jaws was a runaway hit in the first official summer blockbuster,

but it also led to the decimation of shark populations all over the globe.

Each year, more than 100 million sharks are killed.

Sometimes for their fins, other times out of fear that they may bite a human.

Sure, great whites take a nibble from time to time, but not because we're tasty.

It's because they think we're something else, but they don't know for sure until they

get a taste.

It doesn't matter whether there are snakes or sharks or spiders, there are just some

creatures that don't get any love from us humans.

I think it's because they haven't had the right kind of PR.
