New Species of Mystery Ape/Chimpanze?

"It is obvious that the Bigfoot mystery is a great deal more complex than most of the media would have us believe.

Irrespective of the Patterson controversy, we have more than enough data to warrant further investigation by mainstream science. We must also remember that it is erroneous to label Bigfoot as a "paranormal" phenomenon.

Science is discovering new species of animals all the time, including exotic primates - nothing paranormal about that. As recently as 2003, a new "mystery ape" was discovered in the heart of Africa which is said to have characteristics of both the gorilla and the chimpanzee. The as-yet-to-be classified ape is also said to have feet over 14 inches long, more than 2 inches longer than a typical gorilla's. Most unusually, it was discovered thousands of miles from the nearest documented ape habitat. One primatologist who examined the beasts at an Omaha zoo said, "I can't speculate yet as to what they are. Their behavior is so unusual. It's a puzzle....The possibility is there that this is a new species due to isolation....I feel like Dr. Doolittle in the land of Oz."

I don't think this is all that new, but it does show how we can obviously miss a large primate in our midst. I believe this is in reference to the Bili or Bondo Ape identified in 2003. Here is a picture of a Bili killed by hunters that shows it's size in comparison to humans. Certainly gives some food for thought.

Ever notice that when us skeptics stop posting that traffic and other postings dwindle off to nothing.

I think that we have discussed everything....until there is new evidence to review there's nothing to talk about.

Good point. And until then I will remain, your resident skeptic. Not that I don't want BF to exist, I do. I just have not seen the solid evidence. And that video 2 still bugs me. I do not believe it was shot accidentally. It appears staged. And I personally believe that video 3 was also staged and that is why Todd is hesitant to release it.
