Account

The witness and a companion were driving on a wet highway after rain and came close to a creature in the road apparently eating frogs. When it noticed the car it stood upright and quickly left the road, climbing a steep rock wall without using its hands. The pair were frightened and drove quickly past the spot. Years later the witness heard of similar stories in the area.
