		Shealy, for his part, swears that he is neither the skunk ape nor a hoaxer, even though he keeps 13 assorted gorilla masks pinned to his bedroom wall and donned an ape suit to reenact the beast for the TV show Unsolved Mysteries.

		Myakka Skunk Ape photo of Sarasota County, FL The skunk ape is a type of cryptid that is often considered a type of bigfoot, but is actually a pongid, or great ape.
		Many photos taken of the skunk ape look suspiciously like orangutans that inhabit primate enclosures of the more lavish zoos of Miami and Orlando, conveniently for their photographers.
		There is the unsettling possibility that there might actually be small populations of (or a few lone) wild orangutans in remote areas of Florida that are descended from orangutans who escaped from international airports or from captivity as exotic pets.

	Skunk ape crosses the line (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Novelist Randy Wayne White believes the skunk ape, the bigfoot-like creature reputed to be wandering the wilds of eastern Collier County, is "The result of an Ohioan mating with a Canadian." The skunk ape has been sighted several times in the past few weeks by residents and tourists around Turner River Road.
		This finding is every bit as clinical as the pronouncement of Robert Smith, a private investigator working for the Bigfoot Research Organization, who, when declaring the sightings authentic, said: "With the heat and the mosquitoes, I can't believe it's some guy in a gorilla suit." You can't argue with a body of evidence like that.
		Skunk ape sightings will likely boost tourism in a part of the county that could use it right about now.

		The conventional theory was, a weasel had tunneled through the coop and drained them of all blood, but to others (me), it mirrored the handiwork of chupacabras, the fabled goatsuckers of Latin America with red eyes and razored claws.
