Can't decide whether this was creepy or not, at the time we weren't weirded out but looking back its kinda spoopy.

We assumed it was a dingo or something like that and resumed our hike. As for other animals there are wild pigs in the area as we saw evidence of that. Looking back though those rocks we put on it would have been a few kilograms in weight.
Kinda creepy considering it was a few metres from where we were sleeping and we didn't sleep in a tent. Eh, I don't know what to think of it.
