It didn't take Yifa that long at all to track down...well, this was a surprise.  It was a bear.  Good fortune that she lived in the North, where the bears were hardy enough to not need to hibernate during the winter.  This particular bear was by itself, no less, no other fellows around to defend it.  Must have been a male, then.  What was more, bears were strong...but<em>slow</em>.  Yifa would have no trouble killing the creature.  Nor hauling its carcass back to the camp.
