According to the hunter who shot the animal in the Himalayas, a man 'in the know' regarding bears, the bear showed very different behaviour. He kept the skin for himself for a long time, but a scientist got hold of it in the end.

A book on bigfoot and his relatives written by a scientist will be published soon. He admitted he wouldn't have written it without the reputation he now has. He also said that absence of evidence isn't similar to evidence of absence. We're not done, that is:
