Chow and Ang Explain
Singapore Straits Times Aug 13, 2006 Bigfoot hoax exposed First, a website claimed to have photographs of the elusive Johor Bigfoot. Then, when the photos were exposed as a hoax, the site was quickly shut down. The Malaysian men behind it explain how things went wrong By Sandra Leong FOR a brief, heady two months, it seemed like King Kong may not have been a figment of Hollywood’s imagination after all. That is, if news coming out of Johor, Malaysia, were to be believed. In mid-June, the people behind Malaysian website Johor Hominid (www.johorhominid.org) claimed that they had laid their [...]
Malaysian Bigfoot Search Continues
In the wake of the dramatic developments that the “johor hominid” photos are a hoax, many have forgotten that the foundation of the Malaysian Bigfoot reports remain intact. Here’s a report from Raymond Goh of the API, a sometimes rival, sometimes cooperative entity of the SPI and Vincent Chow. For the sake of balance, I thought it important to publish these thoughts, with Raymond’s permission, to get some insights into the API’s point of view. – Loren ———————————————————————— The sudden turn of events of the Johor hominid case has angered and disappointed many.

Gator Roundup – Summer 2006
You’d think the Loch Ness Monster had shown up wearing a feather boa made out of ivory-billed woodpeckers and started beating hippie kayakers with the petrified corpse of a Bigfoot. – Mark Hinson, Tallahassee Democrat, August 13, 2006. The US government’s official map of incidents of out-of-place alligators. For more detailed information on locations and citations, click here. Please click on the map for fuller-sized version.

Armadillo Sunrise
The nine-banded armadillo (above) is making inroads into the northern USA. Dasypus novemcinctus is most common in the central southern states, such as Texas, and abdundant in some parts of Florida. If you run into armadillos in Missouri or southern Illinois, they are not cryptids or out-of-place animals. They are animals that are extending their range northward. As has been noted here briefly before (regarding birds and alligators), cryptozoologists need to keep track of this topic, so as to make certain we don’t confuse these natural range changes for “new animals” or folks’ sightings of bizarre and seemingly new animals [...]
Of Manatees and Bigfoot
Autumn Williams put Whitehall on the television programming map. But what Bigfoot activity is happening there today? I’ve been gone for a few days, since Wednesday. I checked out the manatee situation in the Hudson River, New York. The big critter appears to have moved on, with no new sightings. But you never can tell. I had to go see for myself. I did not see a manatee but lots of the Hudson. At one spot, I crossed one of the most attractive suspension bridges in North America, the Mid-Hudson Bridge, and marveled at the vastness of the water below. [...]

The Lake Champlain sea serpent has been seen. And by an entirely credible and trustworthy witness, whose name, were we permitted to give it, would carry conviction to the most incredulous of doubting Thomases.

Any New Tappie Sightings?
Has the manatee reached Poughkeepsie yet? The Amherst Times reported on August 8: Eleven years ago today, The Times ran a little piece about a male manatee who decided, for reasons unknown, to swim up the East River. Now, the manatee nation appears to have sent another emissary northward, though the sex of this one is unspecified so far. It was sighted several times in the Hudson River last weekend, along the piers in Manhattan and as far north as Sleepy Hollow. The northernmost location in New York, thusfar, for any sightings is 100 miles upstate from the Manhattan views. [...]
Coatis Galore: 1898 to Present
Modesto Daily Evening News Modesto, California March 4, 1898 A Strange Animal. One evening this week A. J. Woodson, who lives near Hill’s Ferry, discovered a strange animal in a tree near his place and after quite a lot of trouble succeeded in capturing it. The animal is about the size of an ordinary house cat; has a head very much like a fox; feet with claws similar to a cat, and a ringed tail much longer than its body. No one has seen the animal here could name it, but a reference to the natural history shows a picture [...]
