Account

The witness was driving westbound toward Tok with a companion while towing a trailer. The witness noticed a tall, light-colored animal standing at the treeline with its back turned, reaching up a white-bark tree with its right arm. The witness stopped the truck to get a camera, but the animal was gone by the time they exited the truck. The witness later estimated its height at over nine feet by measuring a similar tree from memory.
