Bare, wide footprints seen in the mud of a February thaw

February 2001 late afternoon Ypsilanti, Washtenaw County, Michigan 1 witness

Account

While mountain biking near a creek, the witness stopped for a break and noticed bare footprints following the creek edge in soft mud. The prints showed no arch and had a wrinkled texture, which seemed odd in February cold. After later reading about a nearby sighting, the witness filed this report.
