Park Ranger Finds Massive Nest In Forest, Then He Looks Inside

He was fifteen feet off the ground when the canopy structure shifted violently. A loud, mechanical screech echoed through the trees. Something heavy and fast released from the platform above. The rush of displaced air hit his face a split second before a thick cord whipped past his shoulder, shattering a dead branch.

The sudden violence startled him. Brian’s boots slipped off the wet bark, and his grip failed. He fell backward, crashing through the lower foliage before slamming hard into the forest floor. The impact knocked the breath cleanly from his lungs. 

Dazed and gasping, he watched as a massive, heavy shape plummeted out of the shadows, hitting the ground twenty yards away with a sickening thud. Before Brian could even reach for his light, the dark mass scrambled violently upright and bolted into the thick timber, swallowed instantly by the night.
