Subject: Cryptozoology...Florida Skunk Ape
Written By: lorac61469 on 01/31/07 at 6:20 pm
Have you heard about this creature?
From Wikipedia...
The skunk ape is a hominid cryptid rumored to inhabit the Southeastern United States, primarily the Florida Everglades. They are often reported to be similar to orangutans and gorillas and are named for their horrible smell. According to the U.S. National Park Service, the skunk ape does not exist.
The most famous photographs of reported skunk apes, the "Myakka skunk ape photos", were taken anonymously and mailed to the Sarasota Sheriff's Department in Florida late in 2000. They were accompanied by a letter from a woman claiming to have photographed the creature in the palmettos at the edge of her backyard. The elderly photographer and her husband reported that for three nights the creature had entered her yard to steal apples from a bushell basket on her porch. She was convinced it was an escaped orangutan.

I'm not sure what to make of this. Some one in a costume? An escaped orangutan? Big hairy dog?
