All good. I'm wondering if it was the NatGeo one. I'm moreso curious because of the idea that this would explain the myth - sometimes, this is actually backwards. Case in point: the Jersey Devil. There never WAS a Jersey Devil, but people now keep trying to explain the legend by pointing to real world things, but this presumes there ever was a real event to trigger it. They may be trying to explain the myth with a real example, but are fitting the narrative of the site to the myth, when there may not have been any basis in reality for the myth.
