Urban Wildlife

Inventor Cracklin Jane tries out her latest invention: the Alpha Wave Phototonic P-N Junction Accelerator. Now, just what can this baby do? Well, it picks up very sensitive energy waves and by the use of a special secret algorithm, it can be used to understand the non-verbal speech of animals and insects. So we headed right out that door to pound the pavements of a small fishing village in Maine and conducted some man-on-the street interviews with the wildlife that parties there. Listen and learn what the animals in our midst are saying and thinking about us.
