Account

The witness was driving with a companion when the companion noticed an animal near a river bank and they stopped to look. They watched it stand on two legs and climb a steep bank quickly, concluding it was not a bear. They reported smelling it, hearing vocalization and vegetation breaking, and seeing large footprints from the road that they did not approach.
