Account

The witness was riding as a passenger with a companion while traveling to Alaska from college along a winding pine-forest road in late afternoon. They noticed a red-furred creature standing motionless against a tree beside the road. It looked directly at the witness for several seconds before turning and leaving sight in a few strides. The witness recalled yellow cat-like eyes and an unfriendly, wild demeanor.
