Account
The witness and a cousin were riding four-wheelers on a woodland path when a tall brown furry biped dashed across the path about twenty yards ahead in about 3-5 seconds. The companion asked if it was a bear, but the witness rejected that because of its roughly eight-foot height and fast running on two legs.
