Hundreds of tracks found near Peace River
Account
Hundreds of very large footprints were found in hard river silt and followed for about two miles up the riverbank and into dense bush. The maker reportedly dug with its toes on a hillside climb and grabbed trees, uprooting smaller ones. The account was relayed by a relative of the tracker, with a track photograph later reported to exist.
