Myths of the desert

At my biology class we watched a video about dumb myths that people made up that are nonsense. Did you know that people thought that snakes stuck their tail in their mouth and rolled down hills and when they got to a tree they would stab it and kill it? Talk about stupid! Yeah and they also thought that the reason that Gila Monsters were so poisonous was because they didn't have an anus and that food stayed in their system so the poisons collected. That's just absolutely stupid! Yeah, so if you hear stupid stories tell the people they're dumb!
