I can't imagine that as a good way to go.

It's not a good way to go.

Yeah.

There's a woman who's worked in my lab for a long time.

She works on mountain lions or mountain lion genetics.

And she said when it's her time, she wants to go.

And eat you while you're still alive.

And it just looked like a man.

Like a man walking on two legs.

Yeah.

There was a paper that was published maybe a decade ago or so where people had done niche modeling, environmental niche modeling based on Bigfoot sightings.

There he is.

Oh my goodness, yeah.

If that picture was just a little bit blurrier, it would be Bigfoot.

That's amazing.

Well, that's what this niche modeling or environmental modeling study found is they looked at all the reported sightings of Bigfoot and then created what would be the environmental niche for a Bigfoot.

And it pretty much just overlapped the niche for bears, for brown bears.

Of course.

And perhaps it would have come really far north, though, to get across the Bering land bridge, because that was really far.

That was all glaciated and cold.
