Account

The witness was driving out of a campground near Baker Lake in the early afternoon when she noticed a large fur-covered creature about 50 feet away up a hill. The creature was still and crouching with its back turned, exposing its back, shoulders, hips and upper buttocks with sparse reddish hair and visible musculature. After watching for a few seconds and not wanting to disturb it, she drove away.
