Look carefully at all of these images of, especially, the face of the Myakka whatever.

Take note of the wrinkles between the eyes. The placement of the nostrils. The spacing between the eyes. The lack of a tail.

Look closely at the angle of the hair as it gently falls off the head. Measure the forehead. Examine how the white beard goes far down across the chest area.

Concentrate on how different the face is from that of the actors in The Planet of the Apes. Compare the color of the Myakka beard to what is actually found for an orangutan. The Myakka face is not modeled after any ape mask in The Planet of the Apes, that seems certain.

Could the Myakka photograph been the result of someone wearing the same or similar mask used in yesterday’s “Bigfoot Academic” posting? What if the model for the mask used for the Myakka “ape” is really a copycat of the character, dudh, “Harry” of Harry and the Hendersons?

Has the Myakka photographs finally been solved?

Or is this an April Fools’ Joke? You decide.
