Account
Two wildlife technicians were bushwhacking downhill at twilight while carrying caged mice when they heard a heavy animal moving around them on two legs, at times behind them and then ahead of them. One of them then watched a large dark animal dash across the trail on two legs with a quick agile motion. Both men heard the movement, but only one saw the animal.
