Account
Steve Kushniryk was picking Saskatoon berries when he noticed a creature watching him at the edge of the bush. It had large round eyes, skin darker than its dark brown hair, and a flat-topped head. The abdomen was darker and shinier than the rest and could have been bare of hair. After a couple of seconds it swung around, bent down and moved away behind a bush. He ran.
