There's an episode of the television program 'Northern Exposure' (1990s) where Maggie O'Connell, the prop-plane pilot, meets a man out in the Alaskan forest who is fishing in a wild creek. He stands poised and motionless. In a blink, he captures a fish from the sparkling water - perhaps salmon? - with his bare hands. Astonished, Maggie approaches him and the two of them talk, and he shows her the cave where he lives. She comes searching for him at a later time, and cannot find him. But there is a great bear at the creek, poised and motionless, among the rocks at the creek's edge. A sudden movement - he catches a fish. He glances at Maggie and she - and the viewer - become aware that the man is the bear, that this is his true self.
