Wildlife Spotting (The Poliwags Cabin)

I tried looking at the villager popularity thread, found Megan and nothing there. Also tried putting in TIER5 as a puzzle as that’s where she’s placed but nada
 
Tried the following for puzzle answers, some about the staff members:
LONDON, UK, ENGLAND, CANADA, CALIFORNIA, WHATSNEW, WATCH, SEARCHFORUM, FINDTHREADS, NORTHBEACH

Beginning to suspect it's definitely a clue that we're missing.
 
This may sound really dumb but I thought I'll share anyway. I randomly thought about stars and constellations, because thinking about "bearer" and "knowing where to look," I thought about looking up at the night sky for the Ursa Minor and Ursa Major. I tried URSA MINOR and URSA MAJOR but got nothing..... 😔 just thinking outside the box, you know?

Edit: I also tried CONSTELLATION
 
I've tried typing in codes that have something to do with Resetti. They are DONRESETTI, RESETTI, and, RESCUESERVICE. Nothing, sadly.
 
I also tried AMA, ASKMEANYTHING as there's that fox emoji next to Chris' AMA link... and even tried Ask the Staff from that link. Nada.

Aquarius is the water bearer, maybe there could be something to that? I tried "AQUARIUS" as a code.
 
maybe we should also consider threads and not just codes? sorry if people already are, but i'm only seeing comments about testing codes, so. if you're looking at threads, please let us know so we're not wasting time going over each other's tracks.
 
I'm currently checking TBT directs that were based on the forums transfering over from vBull to Xenforo. (regular bearer of news -> this forum, irregular -> forum platform update?)

also if it's helpful the fox looked like this:

Threads I've gone through:
- Chris' AMA
- Bell Tree Directs
- Staff member profiles
- Halloweaster event
 
I checked the majority of more or less new threads in Smashville because the riddle made me think of Isabelle and Villager being in Smash, but I'm yet to find anything
 
Here's where my head's at right now:
  1. I agree with previous posts, this "feels" like a clue and not a puzzle - so the solution is likely in a thread.
  2. I feel that the sentence is what is says on the tin: someone/thing that regular brings, does, or says something did/does something in an unusual place/time.
  3. This could refer to a staff member doing something unusual, a character in game being somewhere unusual, or a feed/forum post (thing) being somewhere unusual.
Thoughts?
 
here’s what i’ve looked through so far;

• chris’ “what do you look like?” posts
• the “perfect fruit exchange (ACNL)” thread
• some of mick’s posts (mainly his art thread and his camp bell tree posts)
• the fruit collectibles + the bell tree direct from march when they restocked
• the “shop / collectibles / events / restocks discussion” thread
• the “a familiar bear has been spotted taking picnic baskets from the cabins. let’s draw bears!” thread
• celestial collectibles (celeste plush, star fragments and shooting star)
• retired staff members (since they were probably more active/regular while they were staff, but now most of them are pretty inactive/irregular)
• a bell tree direct from 2013 that announced the first release of the pear collectible
 
The thing we're looking for does seem like it's probably a picture of a bear that we're looking for somewhere, but I would caution against assuming that it's in a thread. Our previous one was on a specific error screen. Might want to try digging through the various search menus and other options.

Apologies, misspoke - I should have said somewhere on this forum. I've looked everywhere in the "What's New" section, and across all of the shop items with latest updates...
 
another thing I think we can limit by is the post date. I don't think they would have added to any posts made after they opened camp, since that would mean the answer wouldn't have existed when the first mountain groups got to this riddle.

of course, I may be mistaken and they did actively come up with new questions for each mountain group.... :/
 
I'm also curios where exactly can these images appear? Like, only on the staff's posts or literally anywhere?

I think it’s literally anywhere and everywhere. Also keep in mind, it’s not always an image. The post said it can also be a link.
