Incident #1000011
Tete Jaune Cache, Mica Mountain, British Columbia
Oct 1955
Account
William Roe was about to enter clearing when he saw creature emerging from brush on other side. It came across very close to him and squatted down to eat leaves from a bush, using hands and lips to strip them off. Then it apparently realized he was there, rose and walked rapidly away. He backtracked it and found droppings in five places, all vegetarian, plus a place where it slept in the open.
