Glen Thomas said he followed a double set of 16-inch tracks in the snow for seven to 10 miles one day, going downhill, part of the time on a logging road. Near the bottom of the valley the snow ran out. He returned early the next morning to look for more tracks and instead, about a half mile away in a logged-off area 200 feet from the road saw two creatures asleep in the snow near a swampy creek. He settled down to watch with binoculars from 100 yards away. They slept with their backs to the sky, their limbs drawn in under them, heads on hands. One rolled on its side, then returned to original position. Some trees were nearby but they had not bothered with shelter. When they woke up they moved into the creek and started eating water weeds. Both were females. One appeared swollen the the genital region, and every 15 minutes or so would run its hand through this area for a couple of minutes. It made a wailing noise which he thought was a call. It also stepped up on a two-foot stump in the creekbed, bent forward 45 degrees, knees slightly bent, and defacated in the water, then wiped itself with its hand and licked the hand briefly. After eating a while both lay down again in a new location. After an hour they got up and crossed the road, and the swollen one climbed a few feet up a dead yew tree and wailed. They then moved off into the timber. Thomas was frozen and frightened, so went home. Next day it showed heavily and it was a month before he could get back there. He could not find anything.
