Class B First-hand BFRO #26577

Brief daylight sighting of a small primate type creature in a pine forest near Jacksonville

18 June 2009 around 2pm Jacksonville, Duval County, Florida 1 witness

Account

The witness was riding a golf cart through wooded property in early afternoon when he noticed a small dark primate-like animal squatting in an old road. After passing it, he reversed and saw it beside the road bending down a small pine branch to peer at him for a few seconds. It then ran into thick brush, appearing to move upright, and the shaken witness did not check for tracks.
