Once again, we defer to our resident expert

(discussing a movie over breakfast)

LR: What’s a Wampa, again?

Dad: It’s a big hairy thing, like a yeti. He was busy looking for something, and the Wampa came up behind him and…

RJ: (yelling) YETIS DO NOT HAVE FUR!

Dad: (surprised) What? Yes they do. They’re snow creatures; they need to keep warm.

LR: Yeah! Like artic foxes and polar bears!

RJ: THEY ARE NOT HAIRY! They just aren’t!

Dad: But most animals in cold climates need fur to keep warm.

RJ: Listen… When I was little, I saw a whole movie about it called “Yetis Alive“, and they don’t have fur!

Dad & LR: But…

RJ: You don’t know anything about this! They have snow berries to keep them warm!

Dad: Okay, fair enough… Yetis don’t have fur…

Dad: (turning back to LR) So, Wampas are just like Yetis… except they’re covered in fur.
