This thing was not a bear

[BIAD]

...Humans are evil... evil, I say!

I think you'll find it's pronounced 'eeevel'!!

But yes, I would agree that the traditional manner we discover an unknown species is by killing one,
is a poor idea and certainly in this case.
What if it's just basically 'us' following a different lifestyle?What if it's an off-shoot of the ape tree
that can ponder, worry and distrust just like us?

If it's something from somewhere else, then the occasional stories of Government vehicles and
military men appearing when a kid or someone goes missing will make sense.
I mean, think Europe with it's migrant problem, add a bit more hair and you're almost there!

If these things truly exist -and I'm reluctant to say that I think they do, then they're smart.
Very smart.
