Well, I'm fairly sure I saw a young black bear tonight. I was outside Paris, TN on a isolated stretch of highway.
Having grown up with a family farm in rural West TN, I've seen and heard evidence of a lot of uncommon wildlife.
I've seen a lot of wildlife on the road, but this wasn't like anything I've ever seen. It was a black, furry creature that ran like a bear and looked like a bear.
I heard tales of black bear in Hatchie River Bottom, but that was years ago (like maybe 40 or so years). Haven't heard anything lately but I certainly wouldn't discount it.
I have absolutely no doubt you saw a bear.
Follow it into the woods and see if it poops there....then you'd know for sure.
Could it have been a Land Shark?

He might have seen fins on the left but not on the right.
why was an ole miss football player wondering around in the middle of the night in Paris, TN?
It was close to a hog farm, so I've naturally reached the conclusion it was a manbearpig.

How do you know it was a football player? Could have been one of their cheerleaders.
Had one in my tree in Lakeland about 3 years ago. Middle of the night. Wildlife agency had to tranquilize it to get it out of the tree. Wild night.
