BFRO #12001: Daylight sighting by motorist outside Edmonton, on Highway 16 near Stony Plain

📍 Location

📝 Description

My daughter (age 13) and I were traveling towards Edmonton when an animal came out of the bush by the Highway (on my right). I was watching it carefully to see if it was a deer and had others following it. It was the size and shape of a large chimp. It was light brown in color and was moving with a two armed swinging motion. I was concerned enough that it may be an animal not meant to be loose, that I called a fish and wildlife officer. He was convinced that it was a bear cub. I have seen many bear cubs running and this was very different. It was much faster and there weren't the large paws that you would see with a bear cub. We watched as it crossed ahead of us towards the north and did not see a tail (even a tucked one). Could it have been a young sasquatch?

🔍 Circumstances

My daughter who is 13 was watching it carefully also and afterwards asked what it was. She has seen a lot of animals also,and knew this was different.
