Teenager observes two upright-walking animals playing while scouting for elk in the Eagle Cap Wilderness
Account
The witness was scouting for elk on foot at first light near a clear-cut. From about 300 yards away through binoculars, the witness watched two small upright figures chase each other and slap hands for about a minute before they walked into thick forest. The witness first mistook them for bears standing upright but said they never dropped to all fours and no sound was heard.
