With winter well upon us, we all need to find ways to entertain ourselves that don't involve frostbite. Video games are great and all, but you have to put the controller down eventually, and you can only watch so much Netflix.
So, how about solving a mystery? The internet has a fun one right now, and there are a few good theories going around.
It's also an opportunity to either get comfortable at home in your pajamas, or to bundle up in a your parka and head outside for some good, wholesome fun.
Locals in Montreal's Saint-Henri neighborhood woke up to a curious sight on the Lachine canal, where someone had shuffled out an image of a bear in their snow boots.
However, it came with a mystery. How the heck did the bear get its belly button?
It is a doozy of a mystery. There are no boot marks near the belly button, and it's easily a two meter jump from one side to the middle. So how did that mark get made?
Despite the distance and the relatively clean area where the imprint is, some maintain that the mark was left by a pair of boots after what must have been a heck of a standing jump, and then another one to leave.
This bear was carved out on a canal — if the artist(s) jumped, there would likely be some slippage, and some skid marks to show. Even penguins slip!
There would definitely be some other scuffs and divots around the area if someone was to make that giant leap.
So all in all, a jump just doesn’t fit the crime — or canvas.
If so, that's a pretty impressive grouping to make a pristine navel with only four well placed projectiles.
Unless the people who made this big bear had impeccable aim, it would be pretty dang hard to place four snowballs perfectly together.
There’s no room for mistakes, so all four would’ve had to be thrown consecutively — so unless they were Buddy the elf, it's not likely.
For me, that seems unlikely. While it's technically possible, I just don't think anyone would take a drone out just to mark a belly button on a giant bear.
That's a lot of trouble to go through just for that.
And it looks like one might have been used to make the bear's eyes, so this one might have some merit.
Could be a reach, but let's call this one a definite maybe.
Although, this seems like a lot of work for a bear that was carved out with people’s boots.
Wouldn’t that be the cutest winter miracle? A bit of Frosty magic.
Mind you, who sees four little divots in the snow and thinks, 'Hey, that would make the perfect belly button for a giant bear'? But it would explain a lot!
Plus, who’s to say it wasn’t aliens? There’s definitely crop-circle vibes surrounding this bear!
What's your theory?
