Skunk Ape Tracks Found in Everglades

A Skunk Ape researcher claims he has found proof that the animals exists. The Skunk Ape is much like the Lochness monster; many people are convinced that they have spotted the creature but have no proof that it actually exists. 

Dave Shealy says he discovered proof that the animal exists and is breeding in the Big Cypress Natural Preserve in Southwest Florida. Shealy claims he found Skunk Ape droppings and footprints Friday.

 

“This particular area contains everything that a small group of animals would need to survive and this is where we found the track,” says Shealy. “The more I looked at it and saw the round toes and the differences, that’s when I knew I found a juvenile skunk ape track. I was very excited.”

 

The Skunk Ape is allegedly a large, hariy, monkey-like animal that puts off a stench similar to the smell of rotten eggs.
