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?

Compare it to the following images of the other side of the cast and various comparative rhino and Orang Pendek images.

Sumatran rhinos do exist in this area and double-stepping has been suggested. Below is the foot of an African rhino. The rhino foot can configure in a variety of ways.

Ignore the red outline on the cast below, said to be of the foot of an Orang Pendek, and note that a possible hallux (a big toe) may be sticking out to the side of this track, as is found among the pongids. (The Orang Pendek cast was collected in Sumatra.)

Note to those interested readers following the “Malaysian Bigfoot” postings and comments: Cryptomundo has created a new archives category (on the right side of your page) for all of the postings on the Malaysian breaking news items so you can now more easily find them. Don’t forget, your comments on “old” stories and postings are read and revisited by thousands of Cryptomundo readers daily. Take the time to share your thoughts. The bloggers read every one.

Loren Coleman About Loren Coleman
Loren Coleman is one of the world’s leading cryptozoologists, some say “the” leading living cryptozoologist. Certainly, he is acknowledged as the current living American researcher and writer who has most popularized cryptozoology in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Starting his fieldwork and investigations in 1960, after traveling and trekking extensively in pursuit of cryptozoological mysteries, Coleman began writing to share his experiences in 1969. An honorary member of Ivan T. Sanderson’s Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained in the 1970s, Coleman has been bestowed with similar honorary memberships of the North Idaho College Cryptozoology Club in 1983, and in subsequent years, that of the British Columbia Scientific Cryptozoology Club, CryptoSafari International, and other international organizations. He was also a Life Member and Benefactor of the International Society of Cryptozoology (now-defunct). Loren Coleman’s daily blog, as a member of the Cryptomundo Team, served as an ongoing avenue of communication for the ever-growing body of cryptozoo news from 2005 through 2013. He returned as an infrequent contributor beginning Halloween week of 2015. Coleman is the founder in 2003, and current director of the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine.
