Mythical creature or water-logged bear cub? A dead animal pulled from a creek in northern Ontario has spawned a range of speculation

My favourite Cree elder experience: a V of migrating geese was flying overhead. He pointed up, said "See how one arm of the V is longer than the other?"

"Yes."

"It's always like that. Do you know why that is?"

"No."

"There are more geese in it."
