Update You asked for it, yes you did, remember? Now behold the Monster and tremble!!! Illustrated by Maxime, I give you the Big Brown Creature, aka Hundreds of Squirrels Wearing the Skin of a Grizzly Bear. And yes, if you look carefully, they are pooping in the bushes.
We will never again look at squirrels, or bushes, the same way.
Dear Readers,
The People have spoken!! The All-Knowing World of Spirits hath rendered its verdict: the Big Brown Creature was, in fact, hundreds of squirrels in a bear suit. They will now be illustrated by Maxime, and heretofore will hunt us all in our worst nightmares.
For those of you who voted for the Shy Pooping Hiker, your inspiration may have been right: hundreds of squirrels, in a bear suit or not, will indubitably poop a lot in the bushes.
In any case, I’m quite glad I didn’t get to see it… Our guide would have had a hard time protecting us from that!!!
I’m sure Maxime will do an amazing job at traumatizing us with the upcoming illustration.
To finish on a lighter note, the proud and happy winner of the Most Beautiful Mug of the world is Élise!!
Congratulations Élise!
For the newcomers, here is the old post (you can still add ideas of course!):
During my Kananaskis trek with Yamnuska, we had a wildlife non-encounter. By which I mean: we were walking in the woods, we heard a big big creature in the undergrowth, we quietly retreated, the guide called out and signalled our presence, and… well, nothing happened.
I was right behind the guide, and this is what I saw of this mysterious creature:
Now, you’ll tell me, RBO, it’s awesome, it went very well, your guide is amazing! Yes, obviously, but also I’ll never know what it was! NEVER!
Let’s figure out this mystery together, dear Reader.
What do we know exactly of this creature? It is big, brown, furry, and lives in the woods in the Kananaskis Area.
Please help me determine what it was, and vote for your favorite solution! The Tyrex will illustrate the winning option!
(Feel free to add one in the comments, if you know what it was!)
