Legendary ape man spotted in Sumatra...!!!!!!

A team of British explorers has claimed to have spotted a legendary ape man believed to inhabit an island jungle in Sumatra.

According to a report in The Sun, the ape man was seen by the four-strong team and their Indonesian guide.

Witnesses have described the beast as being about 5ft tall and say that it walks on two legs.

It is thought to be extremely powerful — with reports of onlookers seeing it ripping apart logs.

After a spate of sightings around Lake Gunung Tuju, in the Kerinci national park, a team from the Devon based Centre for Fortean Zoology — which investigates unknown species of animals — embarked on a two-week mission to the region to see if they could obtain evidence of the creature.

The explorers were tracking through dense jungle in Sumatra when two of them caught a glimpse of the famous ‘Orang Pendek’ — or short man.

The group brought back a hair sample and a piece of chewed palm from the island’s Kerinci National Park they hope will provide DNA evidence of the beast.

They also snapped a strange footprint thought to belong to the creature.

Sightings of the hairy human-like monster have been made in the area since colonial times — and it is alleged to be immensely powerful.

The explorers hope the sample of rattan palm, which is thought to have been munched on by the Orang Pendek, will contain some of its cells.

The palm and hair sample have been sent for testing.

The elusive Orang Pendek shares its habitat with the Sumatran Tiger, pythons, and Saltwater crocodiles.

According to Richard Freeman, the expedition zoologist and zoological director at the Centre for Fortean Zoology, the creature is an unidentified species of ape.

“We are not talking about a unicorn or a griffin, we are talking about an ape that’s unknown to science,” he said.

“It’s supposed to be a powerfully built upright walking ape. It walks on two legs rather than four - like a man, about five foot tall with dark fur - immensely strong,” he added.

The team, who have just returned from their two-week expedition, hailed it a success and are awaiting the results of the DNA tests.

The so called evidence matches the evidence provided by the explorers in the north canada claims - The hair sample, the footprint and the chewed plant/berch/fig whatever( Palm in this case )

All these so called British 'explorers' have come up with yet another hopeless hoax in their quest to revive the age old apeman stories.

I wonder when will someone come up with hard evidence. Surprisingly,all the evidence collected to date doesn't prove anything other than the figment of human imagination.

No wonder hindustan times published it!

I will wait for some real video footage or atleast an authentic photograph to surface...
