April 2005 Edmonton, Alberta Class A #12001

Daylight sighting by motorist outside Edmonton, on Highway 16 near Stony Plain

The witness emphasized folded hands rather than bear paws, a small head with no snout, no visible ears or tail, and speed greater than a bear cub, and questioned whether it could have been a young sasquatch.
