Thanks to Kelly Lacy (makebeautiful.co) for the forest fire.

“When you and I entertain the [thought we might each express by saying] "A bear is about to attack me," we behave similarly. We both roll up in a ball and try to be as still as possible ... When you and I both apprehend the thought that I am about to be attacked by a bear, we behave differently. I roll up in a ball, you run to get help” (Perry, 1977 p. 494).

Thanks to Robert Lischka (Munich, Germany) and unknown others for the bears.
