I will have my second "live" appearance on G4tv’s current news/talk program, Attack of the Show on Tuesday, March 7, 2005, between 4:00 and 5:00 PM Pacific. This will be the first broadcast appearance of Bone Clones’ Homo floresiensis skull replica. I will be discussing this skull in the context of the old reports of small hairy hominids from South Asia, and the current sightings of the Malaysia’s Orang Dalam (which, of course, are much different than Bigfoot encounters ).
More New Tracks
More photos of Malaysian tracks make for new analyses and more conjecture on what the prints might be. What individually has been more mystifying in the recent publication of merely one track’s image seems clearer in this asphalt trackway. The Sumatran rhinoceros is rare in Malaysia, but this muddy series of prints appears to show, for the first time, that these are from a rhino double-stepping into its own tracks on this road. This is the newest track from Malaysia, just published on February 28. It is one of three footprints found that were perhaps 20 cm across and 40, [...]
A Track Is Not A Foot
Today, guest contributor Mark A. Hall, author of books on cryptozoology, the inventor of the concept of True Giants, and the editor of Wonders, shares his thoughts on the Malaysian evidence of four-toed tracks. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I have looked over the record of tracks for True Giants after all these impressions from Malaysia have been published. One of the first four-toed track photographs from Malaysia, December 2005. We are always learning more about these creatures. We know they have a mammalian limb so a fifth toe was once a part of their limbs, and it still might show up as it [...]
Malaysian Zoologist: Call Them Orang Dalam
Okay, I know. You’ve been hearing this from me for awhile. I have been hammering on the issue of names, that the Malaysian unknown hairy hominoids are hardly "Bigfoot," for weeks. Now comes the same message from Malaysia. This week, Malaysian zoologist Amlir Ayat decided to recommend one moniker for the cryptids. Here’s what he said to the local media: It would also help if a common name was used for the Bigfoot. He felt it would be a good idea to adopt the name "Orang Dalam" used by the Orang Asli, like the name Sasquatch for the American Bigfoot, [...]
Malay DNA & Cast in Play
DNA samples, theories on the creatures living in the swamps, future appearances on reality television are all in the news. Do not look for the Malaysian Bigfoot story to bolt from the media radar soon. Furthermore, we continue to ponder what to make of this track, cast by Sci-Fi’s Josh Gates? The footprint site is more visible in this new photograph (above) of the Malaysian Bigfoot cast still in the ground. This is the footcast that will be tested for DNA. Compare it to the following images of the other side of the cast and various comparative rhino and Orang [...]
Talking to Henry May
Today, I’m going to cross-post my interview by Henry May, who has a blog at the American Bigfoot Society Clearinghouse. Loren Coleman and the 8.5 ft tall "Crookston Bigfoot" at his International Cryptozoology Museum, Portland, Maine, summer 2005. Photo taken by Joseph Citro, used by permission. Hi, Henry Thank you for your growing site and your interest in chatting today. > 1. Do you believe the Malaysian Bigfoot is merely an orangtuan? First, I must say what I often say to the folks from the media: "Belief" is part of religion and faith. Therefore, when I am asked any [...]
What Do You See in This Cast?
This is the footcast found by Joshua Gates of Sci Fi Channel while on a recent Malaysian Bigfoot expedition. Consider the possibilities behind this track and share with Cryptomundo what you observe and consider significant to notice in this cast (below, under comments): Could it be…. A track representation of the Malaysian Mawas? Or Orang Dalam? Or what? How a footprint left by a giant ape survivor related to Gigantopithecus would appear? The reason the finds of the True Giant footprints seem to be four-toed? A reality television prank to see if people believe it? A Malaysian-produced hoax? What? What [...]
Who Was On That Malaysian Expedition?
An explosion of media attention today…at least three articles hitting the internet…news of an expedition…backing by a television show…a photograph of a footprint…and more. Fasten your seat belts. Sometimes it is only location and funding that separate cryptozoologists from the action. As I’ve been suggesting for weeks, Malaysian scientists are the obvious choices for going into the rainforest to look for their own "Bigfoot" first. Reports now from a London paper indicate that a team of "paranormal investigators," including an Australian tracker, a filmmaker from Los Angeles, a reality film crew, and apparently a British reporter are in hot pursuit [...]
Are There Three Kinds of Malaysian Bigfoot?
The story of the "Bigfoot" in the Endau-Rompin National Park, Malaysia, is becoming more complex. It seems like the time is ripe to sort out the media’s reports that the locals are seeing three types of hairy hominoids. According to the Bernama news service, on February 20, 2006, accounts surfaced that the locals, the Orang Asli, living along the Johor-Pahang border, claimed they have seen a variety of different-sized "Bigfoot" in the area. Illustration: Typical True Giant, drawing by Harry Trumbore, from Anomalist Books’ new edition of The Field Guide to Bigfoot and Other Mystery Primates by Loren Coleman and [...]
Are Malaysian Bigfoot Colonies Really Orangutans?
National pride, long term observations, reports of a colony, and a supposedly novel theory are the breaking news out of Malaysia today. But wait a minute, is the Johor Wildlife Protection Society merely talking about orangutans? News out of Malaysia on February 18, 2006, indicates that the Johor Wildlife Protection Society says they have: scientific evidence to prove the existence of Bigfoot whose reported sightings recently in the Johor jungles have excited the world’s media. Not just one Bigfoot but a whole colony of the giant, hairy creatures which the society named "Orang Lenggor" (Lenggor People) as one was spotted [...]
