Dusk sighting of a creature standing against a tree, as witnesses drove around a curve in the road, 90 miles outside of Jasper, Alberta.
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.
