Hibagon

While in Japan my husband I stalked the fabled Hibagon for days through the forests of Mount Hiba. There had been several sightings that month of an apelike creature with a triangular face, large glaring eyes and a head covered with bristles. Our noses told us he'd been near, the stories also said he smelled like decaying flesh. As the light began to fade on our last day, with nothing to reward our efforts but fleeting glances and all-too-powerful wiffs, we were heading back to civilization when we felt we were being watched. My camera ever at the ready around my neck I turned, slow as molasses, and our eyes met. Soulful, intelligent green eyes. I was able to snap this picture before he bolted. At long last! Proof of the hibagon's existence.
