Chapter Eight: "Gift for the Darkness," pp. 124-144 Ralph says the beast has teeth and big round eyes. What might be a more plausible explanation for what Ralph reports seeing?

more plausible explanation for what Ralph reports seeing could be that the 'beast' is actually a large animal or creature that has teeth and big round eyes. This could be a real animal that is known to exist, such as a predator or a nocturnal creature. It is also possible that Ralph's perception of the beast is influenced by his fear and the darkness, making it appear more threatening than it actually is.
