The Malaysian Natural Resources and Environment Ministry Parliamentary Secretary Datuk Sazmi Miahis is fighting with Johor’s Tourism and Environment Committee Chairman Freddie Long over the “reality” of the “Johor Bigfoot.” The debate has turned ugly in the papers in Malaysia on December 16th. Forgotten in the debate, apparently, are all the footprints, confusing as the picture may be, that have been found, including ones dating back to the 1970s of the Orang Dalam. This track, photographed on November 17, 2006, is the “one” mentioned my Minister Sazmi. But what of the others? See below. According to the New Straits Times, [...]

Little Foot Coexisted With Homo
The remains of the apeman, dubbed Little Foot, were discovered in a cave complex at Sterkfontein by a local South African team in 1997. Its bones preserved in sediment layers, it is the most complete hominid fossil skeleton ever found. (Photo Credit: Alf Latham and used with his permission) Redating news published today calls for a younger age for the unknown species of Australopithecus popularly called "Little Foot," or technically "Stw 573." Initially, the species had been tentatively dated to three to four million years before present, but the new findings show the small upright Australopithecus died only about 2.2 [...]

I want to share an addition to the International Cryptozoology Museum, a new sculpture whose photographs are seen about this blog. It represents a depiction of the Agogwe from Tanzania (Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania), and gives me this opportunity to introduce these hominoids here. The following is my summary description of this unknown African hominoid: Agogwe The Agogwe is a downy-haired little unknown biped reported throughout east Africa.

Exhibition Closes Forever
On December 20th, 2006 Over at Boing Boing, David Pescovitz has added his comments to the growing chorus of praise for the apparently out-of-print Cryptozoology: Out of Time Place Scale. Pescotvitz writes: I have the catalog and it’s quite wonderful. Of course, there are reproductions of the artists’ works from the exhibition and provocative essays, but taken as a whole, the catalog’s look, feel, and organization offers its own sense of curiosity, wonder, and mystery. Boing Boing also links to Craig Heinselman’s review and more. Artist Michelle Souliere with Mark Swanson’s Yeti at Bates. The photographs on this page were [...]

Bayer Stone Head Continues
This entry adds more information to the December 3, 2006 initial posting on The Bayer Stone Head. The Bayer Stone Head’s owner, David Chisholm (a military security consultant) shares the following and forwards the photograph of the bottom of the head: The color is brown paint. William Bayer’s uncle painted it brown. The best estimate to its color is the base. The eyes, William’s uncle cracked a marble and glued the halves in for eyes; they fell out some years ago. I surmised that it is glue residue in the sockets. I had the thought of removing it and started [...]
The Bayer Stone Head: What Is It?
What face stares out from the nearly thirty-pound stone head found in the ground in 1932, in New Paltz, New York? Are the features extremely ape-like or child-like? How does it compare to the Columbia River stone heads discussed in the Sasquatch literature? Does the stone head’s smile remind us of that Tsimishian carved mask’s smile (below) dated to several hundred years ago from British Columbia, and mentioned as relevant to Sasquatch research? Compare them. See for yourself: Click image for full size version Click image for full size version Click image for full size version Click image for full [...]
