Aug 1992
Account
Walking out to highway 109 at 7.20 a.m., still close to house, Jeff King saw a creature crouching by a tree. It stood up and walked off on two legs, stopped and looked back and growled loudly, stepped easily over a 4-foot rail fence, started across a field, walked into a pond and drank three double-cupped hands full of water, then across the field, over another fence, across a neighbour's yard and into the woods.
