CIK No. 0001833214
Dear
Ms. Park and Mr. Edwards, and Messrs. Atallah and Pavot:
By
your letter dated July 29, 2021 (the “SEC Letter”), the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “Staff”) provided comments on the Draft Registration Statement on Form S-4 submitted
on July 2, 2021 by our client, Big Cypress Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”), in connection with the proposed transactions
involving the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company, and SAB Biotherapeutics, Inc. (“SAB”). This letter sets
forth our response with respect to the comments contained in the SEC Letter.
Concurrently
herewith, we are publicly filing the Registration Statement (the “Registration Statement”) electronically via the
EDGAR system. The changes made in the Registration Statement reflect the responses of the Company or SAB, as applicable, to the Staff’s
comments as set forth in the SEC Letter. We have enclosed a copy of the Registration Statement marked to show the changes made to the
Draft Registration Statement. For your convenience, we have set forth below the Staff’s comments in bold italic typeface followed
by the responses of the Company or SAB thereto, as applicable, and references in the responses to page numbers are to the marked version
of the Amendment. Please note that capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this letter have the meanings ascribed to such
terms in the Registration Statement.
The
Company has asked us to convey the following as its responses to the Staff.

Questions

2. We
note your disclosure on page 53 that the combined company intends to apply to list its shares
on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Please disclose in this section, where appropriate, and on
the cover page when you will file the initial listing application for the combined company
and whether Nasdaq’s determination will be known at the time that stockholders are
asked to vote on the merger agreement.
Response:
We have updated our disclosure to indicate that the combined company has applied to list its shares and warrants on the Nasdaq Global
Market. We filed the application with Nasdaq on July 13, 2021. We have also added disclosure to indicate that although stockholders will
not know Nasdaq’s determination at the time stockholders are asked to vote on the Business Combination, it is a condition of the
consummation of the Business Combination that BCYP receive confirmation from Nasdaq that the common stock and warrants of the combined
company has been conditionally approved for listing on Nasdaq, but there can be no assurance that such listing condition will be met
or that BCYP will obtain such confirmation from Nasdaq. If such listing condition is not met or if such confirmation is not obtained,
the Business Combination will not be consummated unless the Nasdaq condition set forth in the Merger Agreement is waived by the requisite
parties. We respectfully direct the Staff’s attention to such revised disclosure on the cover of the prospectus, as well as on
page 53 of the Registration Statement.
Questions
and Answers, page 5
3. Please
revise your disclosure, where applicable, to show the potential impact of redemptions of
the per share value of the shares owned by non-redeeming shareholders by including a sensitivity
analysis showing a range of redemption scenarios, including minimum, maximum and interim
redemption levels
Response:
We have revised our disclosure, where applicable, to show the potential impact of on the shares owned by non-redeeming shareholders
by including a table showing a range of redemption scenarios, including the minimum redemption level, the maximum redemption level and
an interim level that is the midpoint between the minimum and maximum redemption level. We respectfully direct the Staff’s attention
to such revised disclosure on pages 6 and 25 of the Registration Statement.
Q:
Are the proposals conditioned on one another?, page 11
4. Please
revise, where appropriate (including here and on page 21), to identify which conditions to
the completion of the merger may be waived. We refer to your disclosure on pages 54 and 55.
Response:
We have revised our disclosure to identify the conditions to the completion of the merger that may be waived by SAB, BCYP or both.
We respectfully direct the Staff’s attention to such revised disclosure on pages 11, 21, 54 and 55 of the Registration Statement.

Q:
What if I attend the special meeting and abstain or do not vote?, page 16
5. Please
revise to clarify, if true, that shareholders have redemption rights regardless of whether
they abstain or do not vote on the business combination.
Response:
We have revised our disclosure to clarify that shareholders (other than the Initial Stockholders) have redemption rights regardless

disclosure on the cover of the prospectus as well as page 16 of the Registration Statement.
SAB
Biotherapeutics, Inc., page 19
6. We
note your disclosure on pages 19 and 126 that to date you have generated revenues through
government agreements which have totaled approximately $143 million in awards and generated
approximately $55 million in revenue in 2020. If these products are research use only (RUO)
products, please make that clear in your disclosure.
Response:
We have revised our disclosure on the requested pages to clarify that such revenues through government agreements have been used
to support development of new investigational products for research use only, build human resources and manufacturing capacity, and advance
clinical studies. We respectfully direct the Staff’s attention to such revised disclosure on pages 19 and 128, of the Registration
Statement.
SAB
Biotherapeutics, Inc., page 19
7. Please
clarify the meaning of scientific or technical terms the first time they are used in order
to ensure that lay readers will understand the disclosure. For example, please briefly explain
what you mean by terms such as polyclonal, heavy chain and kappa light chain, epitopes, IVIG,
effector cell activation, avidities, high-titer and antigenic drift.
Response:
We have added explanatory disclosure for scientific or technical terms the first time these terms are used to help lay readers understand
the disclosure.
SAB
Biotherapeutics, Inc., page 19
8. We
refer to your disclosure on pages 19, 119, 120, 128 and elsewhere in the prospectus that
SAB is capable of rapidly producing targeted, high-potency immunotherapies. Please revise
these statements and any similar disclosure to remove any implication that you will be successful
in advancing your product candidates in a rapid or accelerated manner as such statements
are speculative
Response:
We have revised our disclosure to remove the implication that SAB will be successful in rapidly producing targeted, high-potency
immunotherapies. Our disclosure in the Information About SAB Biotherapeutics section continues to refer to the “Rapid Response
Antibody Program” since that is the name and substance of SAB’s agreement with the US Department of Defense. However, we
have added disclosure to caution readers that although SAB believes it can develop its technology to be able to rapidly develop antibody-based
medical countermeasures for biological threats, there can be no assurance that SAB will ultimately be successful in its development.

Response:
We have revised our disclosure in the Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements section to remove the statements about market,
ranking and other similar industry data included in the prospectus that imply an inappropriate disclaimer of responsibility with respect
to the third party information and our own research. We have also added a statement that SAB Biotherapeutics and BCYP are responsible

respect to your technology and patents and the portion of your business that may be affected

advisors reviewed projected financial information provided by SAB Biotherapeutics. If so,
please revise to disclose such projections, how the board used any projections provided

that the discussion is of the material tax consequences, not merely certain material tax
consequences. Please refer to Section III.C.1 of Staff Legal Bulletin No. 19 for guidance.
22.We note that counsel appears to be delivering a short-form tax opinion, which references
the opinion as stated in the prospectus. Accordingly, please revise your prospectus to state
that the disclosure in the tax consequences section represents the opinion of counsel.
Please refer to Section III.B.2 of Staff Legal Bulletin No. 19 for guidance.
Information about SAB Biotherapeutics, page 119
23.We note your statements on page 119 and elsewhere that your product candidates are
"best-in-class" and "first-in-class" therapies. Such terms suggest that your product
candidates are effective and likely to be approved as a new class of immunotherapies for a
range of infectious diseases and immune system disorders. Given the early stage of
development, it is not appropriate to suggest that your platform and the product candidates
are likely to be effective or receive regulatory approval. Please delete these references
throughout your registration statement. If your use of the term was intended to convey
your belief that the product is based on a novel technology or approach, you may discuss
how your technology differs from technology used by competitors.
Research and Development, Pipeline Programs, page 121
24.We refer to the inclusion of SAB-162 for an undisclosed indication in your pipeline table
on page 121. Given the status of development, no disclosure of specified target
indications and limited disclosure regarding this program, it seems premature to highlight
this product prominently in the pipeline table. Please remove the program from the
pipeline table or advise.

25.Please revise the bars in the pipeline chart to remove the shaded areas that appear at the
end of SAB-176 and SAB-185. Please also revise the bars so that they show the progress
in preclinical and clinical development. The bars should not extend into the columns for
the Candidate Name and Indication. We also note disclosure on page 122 that SAB-176 is
currently being evaluated in a Phase 1 safety trial, but the pipeline chart indicates that
Phase 1 is complete. Please revise.
26.We note your disclosure on page 122 that your SAB-185, SAB-176, SAB-142 and SAB-
181 products are “fully human” antibody and globulin candidates that are sourced from
animals. Please clarify and expand your description of your product candidates as “fully
human” in contrast to human-derived immuno-therapeutics in your disclosure in the
Business section.
Immune System Disorders, page 122
27.We note your disclosure on page 122 that SAB is executing on an undisclosed
autoimmune target collaboration with CSL Behring and on page 125 relating to an
undisclosed research collaboration with a U.S. based large Pharma collaborator. Please
disclose the name of the Pharma collaborator and also advise if there is a collaboration
agreement in place with either CSL Behring or the Pharma collaborator, and if so, please
provide a brief description of the material terms of such arrangement and file
such agreement as an exhibit to the registration statement or explain to us why you believe
you are not required to do so. Refer to Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K.
28.Please confirm if your collaboration with either CSL Behring and/or a large U.S. based
pharmaceutical company relates to any of the product candidates listed in your pipeline
table. If so, please advise if the inclusion of such collaborations in your pipeline table is
the clearest way to present your programs to investors or revise your disclosure as
appropriate.
29.We refer to your statements in this section that you expect your products, such as SAB-
142, to "perform well based on safety, dosing and tolerability" on page 122. We also note
your disclosure on page 128 that SAB's human polyclonal antibodies have been "safely"
administered in five clinical human safety studies that your SAB-185 product for COVID-
19 has "progressed to show safety in humans." Please note that determinations of safety
and efficacy are solely within the authority of the FDA; therefore, please revise the
prospectus to remove all references and/or implications of safety and efficacy, including
the references above.

more potent than human-derived convalescent immunoglobin. Please revise your
characterizations of the preclinical and Phase 1 trial to discuss the data, rather than
drawing conclusions from the results. For example, please discuss the design, scope and
the primary and secondary endpoints of your preclinical and clinical trials, as applicable,
and whether any adverse events were observed.
Regulatory Matters, page 123
32.We note your disclosure on page 125 that SAB is sponsoring a Phase 2a trial in the U.K.,
which is regulated by the United Kingdom Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory
Agency. Please revise to specify which product candidate (or candidates, as applicable) is
currently in Phase 2a trial in the U.K., the scope, design and primary endpoint of such

Dear
Ms. Timmons-Pierce and Mr. Ingram:
By
your letter dated January 7, 2021 (the “SEC Letter”), the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Staff”) provided comments on the Amendment No. 1 to the Registration
Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) filed on January 4, 2021 by our client, Big Cypress Acquisition
Corp. (the “Company”). This letter sets forth our response with respect to the comments contained in the SEC
Letter. For your convenience, we have set forth below the Staff’s comments in bold italic typeface followed by the Company’s
responses thereto and references in the responses to page numbers are to the marked version of Amendment No. 2 and to the prospectus
included therein.
Concurrently
herewith, we are filing Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement (the “Amendment”) electronically via
the EDGAR system. The changes made in the Amendment reflect the responses of the Comment to the Staff’s comments as set
forth in the SEC Letter.
The
Company has asked us to convey the following as its responses to the Staff.

We
note your response to comment 2 of our prior letter. We note your revised disclosure that after the completion of the offering
and the private placement, your sponsor and Ladenburg and certain of its employees will own approximately 20.72% and 1.65%
of your issued and outstanding shares of common stock, respectively (including the placement shares). However, this appears
inconsistent with your disclosure on page 11 and elsewhere that the sponsor will ownership percentage excludes the placement
units. Please advise.

Response:
We
respectfully advise the Staff that the ownership percentages of 20.72% for our Sponsor and 1.65% for Ladenburg and certain of
its employees are correct and not inconsistent. These percentages reflect their respective ownership percentages after the consummation
of the public offering (assuming the over-allotment option is not exercised) and the concurrent private placement. Our disclosure
on page 11 and elsewhere states that the founder shares and representative shares will be equal to 20% of the outstanding
shares (excluding the placement units and the shares of common stock and warrants underlying the placement units). We have also
made clear that the placement units include common stock and warrants, instead of referring to just underlying securities. Where
appropriate, such as on page 11, we have added disclosure to state that “[a]fter the completion of the offering and the
private placement, our sponsor and Ladenburg and certain of its employees will own approximately 20.72% and 1.65% of our issued
and outstanding shares of common stock, respectively (including the placement shares and assuming they do not purchase any units
in this offering).”

Your
disclosure that your amended and restated certificate of incorporation will designate the federal district courts of the United

the Securities Act of 1933 is not reflected in Article XII of your amended and restated certificate of incorporation. Please
ensure that your disclosure accurately reflects the scope of Article XII of your amended and restated certificate of incorporation.
Response:
The
Company respectfully advises the Staff that it has revised the disclosure to accurately reflect Article XII of the amended and
restated certificate of incorporation. Please see pages 57 and 127 of the Amendment.
General
3.
We
note your disclosure that the exclusive forum provision in your warrant agreement does not apply to actions arising under
the Exchange Act. If Please also ensure that the provision in the warrant agreement states this clearly.
Response:
The
Company respectfully advises the Staff that it has revised the warrant agreement to reflect this disclosure. As such no changes
have been made to the disclosure previously set forth in the Registration Statement. Please see Section 9.3 on page 14 of the
warrant agreement filed as Exhibit 4.4 together with the Amendment.
