Strange, large animal seen at night on a rural road near Auburn

Late on a summer night the witness was riding in a car with three companions on gravel roads near Auburn, Iowa. A very large black-haired animal crossed the road in front of the car in the headlights, clearing the road in one to two steps. The witness described an arched back, odd strides, rear-bent legs and a vaguely dog-like face, and estimated it was taller than the vehicle and larger than a horse.

A quick ask from the person behind the Anomadex: if you allow analytics, Google Analytics shows me which places, phenomena and searches you're most curious about. That tells me which regions and sources to add next and what to make easier to find. It never sees your name or anything you send me, and nothing is set unless you say yes. Privacy
