This week we leave the lower 48 and head up north to Alaska, the Last Frontier. Bailey is sticking to a trend of canine creatures with Alaska's own Keelut's. Are they spirits of death who sneak up on you, or just wolves with mange? Then Dani takes us to the coast for our first true were-creature. These part men, part otter Kushtaka's may sound friendly, but their only plan is create more of themselves.
