BIG OT was convinced:

"These guys know everything about that thing because they weren't going to handle it like that if they didn't. As I dig deep into my investigations."

"What is that? It looks like spider moss. It's creepy!"

Naomi asked:

"What's that?"

Mrgrfico looks clued up:

"Owa Mara, also the location counts if you are near wildlife. Make sure you are closed up."
