Daytime road crossing on MN-73 near the town of Cook

26 April 2018 2:15 pm Cook, St. Louis County, Minnesota 1 witness

Account

The witness was driving on Highway 73 in the early afternoon when he saw a large brown animal squatting by the roadside. As he approached, it stood bipedally and crossed the highway in three steps into a swampy area. He stopped and found patted-down grass where it had been but no distinct prints due to wet ground, and noted a strong rancid odor at the site.
