Daytime sighting near Everglades National Park
Account
The witness was riding in a car with two relatives to launch a boat when they noticed roadside onlookers with cameras and binoculars. The witness then saw a tall, muscular, dark-furred figure standing in shallow water near trees about 50 yards from the road. The figure reportedly stood still as they passed and was still visible as they drove away, while the companions thought it was a bear or deer.
