Account
Robert Uchtmann found three huge prints in loose dirt from a scattered ant hill surrounded by hard ground, on a limestone ridge surrounded by bog and marshy lakes, north of Landry Lake. . They were later seen by R.J. Robertson and B.E. Jahn, wildlife biologist and technician, from The Pas. They sank an inch and a quarter, where his tracks were a half inch deep. Story in Winnipeg Free Press gives somewhat different dimensions.
