Skunk Ape

 

The Skunk Ape or Stink Ape or Swamp Monkey is a cryptic hominid said to dwell in the Southeastern United States, from places such as Oklahoma, North Carolina, and Arkansas, although reports from the Florida Everglades are particularly frequent (florida skunk ape). Skunk ape sightings, while rare, have been reported all through Florida for more than six decades but by no means have been verified scientifically.

There was a large wave of sightings in the 70s, all consistently describing the creature as reaching about seven feet tall, weighing 300 pounds plus and to be strongly foul smelling. Since then the popularity of the skunk ape in southern Florida has continued to increase, along with the number of alleged sightings.

The Skunk Ape is described as a big, hairy, stinky, swamp-dwelling creature similar to the well-known elusive mysterious Bigfoot or a big chimp as the name suggests. There are many in the Bigfoot research fields that believe Skunk apes to be a variety of the infamous Bigfoot of the northwest.

Many reports also depict the Skunk Ape as having glowing red or green eyes; however, this is in general attributed to the reflection of a flashlight or automobile headlights when the creature is spotted at nighttime. It has been reported that both male and female are covered with reddish-black fur and also have outstanding hearing as well as the skill to climb trees and swim rapidly in order to evade detection or capture.

It is named for its appearance and for the repulsive skunk like odor that is said to go along with it.
