Account

The witness and a companion were walking on a service road when they noticed an animal crouched at a swampy area drinking. The animal turned toward them, stood upright on two legs, and maintained eye contact for about 10 to 15 seconds. The pair then ran back to their car while hearing branches breaking as the animal left into the forest.
