It might have been a Japanese serow, but there was an animal with four legs and one head. Its snout was shorter than a wild boar’s and its legs were long. It walked differently from a dog; the part equivalent to the shoe on a human is shaped more like a human’s. With all four legs on the ground, its body length reached from a person’s buttocks to their waist. Its tail was not visible to the naked eye.
