Myakka Finally Solved

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?

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.
