Account
A military photographer in south Georgia was driven at night to photograph a jeep in a ditch. He found tracks around the jeep and was told a skunk ape was in the barracks area. It ran between buildings, charged toward the men, jumped the fence and escaped into the woods, and he was ordered to stay quiet.
