Well, they finally aired the Season 4 opener. And, it was a little disappointing, I must say. What did Vanessa lock eyes with at the base camp? No big mystery, folks! Anyone who's watched any African episode of "Animal Planet" will recognize a leopard growl when they hear one! As for the "Nandi Bear" possibly being a spotted hyena? Duh! I already knew that from reading crypto-zoology books written by Ivan Sanderson and Bernard Huevelmans!
These same authors have postulated other suspects for the true identity of the "Nandi Bear." A giant ratel (aka "honey badger"); an East African subspecies of mandrill (those short-tailed baboons with the blue faces); and, with regard to the brain-eating, a homicidal cult of African tribesmen (like the "leopard men" of 19th-century Sierra Leone).
