A Euro­pean cou­ple — the woman was Pol­ish, the man from Czechia — failed to turn up after hik­ing in the Alps. A lit­tle while after they went miss­ing, some park rangers found two dead bears, one male, one female, just off the trail. Their bel­lies were dis­tend­ed. They cut open the she-bear to find the remains of the woman.

“You know what that means,” says one ranger to the other.

“What?”

“The Czech is in the male.”
