The Skunk Ape has been a big deal in south Florida since the 1970's. Big TV story in '74 when "something" came out of the Big Cypress Swamp and ripped the head off a cow and killed a horse. Collapsed a rickety shack on top of the town drunk in Cooper City, FL. Population at the time was about 45 people. Bigger now, of course. World's smallest US Post Office is there. Tourist stop for buses and such. LOL Seminole trackers were brought in with a professional hunter-guide and a WPLG TV News Crew. Tracked a critter walking on two legs DEEEEEEP into the 'Glades. They found a lair and a bunch of animal bones and such and a reeeking dead fish smell. At that moment it ceased to be a joke and might hurt tourism, so the tv station killed the story. The Seminoles have a name for it: Kerobi, IIRC. I myself may have heard it's strangely piercing whistling scream late at night when I was deep in the Glades with the national guard back in the mid 1980's. There are supposedly stories of police dog teams investigating abandoned cement plants waaaay out in the Glades (Everglades, folks) and going totally berserk and trying to run away howling at the scent.

Its been years since I've even thought about the skunk ape. Grew up in Florida and it was the subject of campout stories!

I REALLY

did

NOT

want to go here . . . but, alright . . . so be it.

There are persistent stories of ET's dropping off various critters and/or using various kinds of critters on earth for various experiments, carlessness, whatever.

Others assert that such critters are leftovers from our own past. But the majority of stories assert that they are brought here by ET's and allowed to roam or escape for various unknown reasons.

And THAT, dear folks, is about the limit of puzzle pieces I have on the subject.

I don't have much of a clue as to what TRULY TRUE TRUTH is on the subject. I do tend to believe that ET's have had something to do with the ones in Florida and the Pacific NWest. But I wouldn't want to bet anything on it. Just how I read the puzzle pieces since more from a greater diversity of directions have said such things.
