Okay, what the heck is this thing? A troll... mutant monkey... hairless Bigfoot... alien creature... something else?
Here's the story, as reported by Bigfoot Evidence:
Locals came across this strange creature while they were escorting a shooting party in Namibia. Witness's state that the creature was spotted apparently foraging for food, one of the shooting party wounded it with his rifle and it escaped into the thick brush. The locals tracked it to a nearby lair or nest where they found three more creatures of similar size. The wounded creature attacked one of the shooting party and it was shot dead, the others escaped into the brush. The body of the creature was taken back to the local camp, police later removed its corpse and a full forensics investigation is under way....
Could it be an unknown animal of some kind? If it's not a hoax, my bet is that it is some kind of deformed or mutated primate. What do you think?
Comments
First off (assuming this is all on the level) whoever shot this creature should be charged with a crime. You don’t go around shooting things just because you don’t know what they are. I know that I would hate to have something take a shot at me while I’m out “on lunch break”.
Still assuming that this is true and not a well planned hoax, I would say it’s a new species, not a mutant primate. I say new species because as far as I know mutants don’t have the ability to reproduce and there were several of these creatures living as a “family group”.
I would rule out troll because they fall more into the realm of interdimensional beings and this creature was flesh and blood and entirely of this “world”.
Why do people try to harm or kill what ever it is that they don’t understand? that is just plain stupid! and have you ever noticed these weird events always seem to take place in some backwards backwoods country? The being was probaly trying to protect it self and it’s family.
I would love to know how the rest of the story panned out ,and hope the poor liltle beings stay safe and far from savage kind.
That is pretty sick. Looks to me like a photo shopped pic of a dead baby. The internet can be a pretty sad place at times.
Can’t say nothing about it, disturbing it was shot because the best way things should be captured is by Camera, unless you are hunting it for food. Like a Bigfoot, Photo Evidence is enough for me, though most people don’t accept photos, though I would like to see a larger image to clearly see what it is and the results of the tests.
How can photo ‘evidence’ be enough when it’s so easy to manipulate what you’re looking at?
A guy in a gorilla costume claims he’s bigfoot and you’re going to believe him because of the picture?
Even if true – it was a questionable shooting (the first time) but after the alleged creature allegedly attacked: that was self defense.
Who knows how many “man-like” creatures may have been shot in haste in remote areas? Few people would be unaware that they could face criminal charges and they’d have time to think about the consequences of their action. Unless it was a self defense or accidental shooting, virtually no one would drag such a carcass out and turn it over to “authorities.”
As usual, the photo “evidence” borders on being useless. There’s no way to be certain (from the photo) what the “subject” was. The proper response from local authorities would be to begin a search for the other, still living creatures. A live capture would be preferable to anything else. Waiting for that to happen (a long, long time).
I actually live in Namibia and I’ve never heard of this. In which part did it happen and about how long ago? If you know more let me know and I’ll try to find out a little more locally.
Very interesting photo. If it is real, shame on the people that shot it! I’m sure most people here would agree.
I agree with Barend from Namibia!where and when did this happen.?I can assure you there is nobody on earth that can track like bushmen!They are an ancient Race. TheyCertainly never found anything like this- also Walvis bay area was part of South africa years ago! Between the Bushmen.locals ,renowned German/S/African hunters, Nothing like this ever.Our troupes fought wars in Namibia and Bordering Angola, highly/trained,efficient. All these mentioned are skilled,reared in the Bush People, certainly not imtimidated by jungle.bush.wild animals. -NOTHING ever reported like this. ! It is a hoax! I would say/
The photo is questionable.When expanding the photo, the details suggest the creature has two ears- a clearly defined overly large human-type ear with quite apparent canal opening, and immediately behind it a large rabbit-type ear. The two appear to be separate. The mouth shows no teeth. Given its gaping appearance, some teeth should likely be apparent, even for a vegetarian animal, and especially a foraging animal like a rabbit. It is rabbit-like in appearance, as suggested also by it’s nose, and perhaps it’s eyes. The photo appears to be distorted, which also makes it difficult to draw any definite conclusions. If this is not a hoax, there should likely be some sort of report issued following a forensics analysis. It is also questionable that this occurrence, given its highly unusual nature, has not received any significant media attention. Even so, if there is a forensics exam being conducted, it is certainly worth a follow-up.
Hoax. And I’ll bet that the very vague notion of police and forensics becomes lost and we’ll never hear any more about it.
Hey guys, i’m from Trinidad & Tobago in the Caribbean and this pic has been circulating for a long time on the net. The story that went along with the pic claimed it came from Guyana. So i’m thinking definite hoax.
Maurissa — Can you provide another source?
Didn’t Josh gates on Destination truth go looking for these things?
I would like to think there are some amazing mysteries left in our world, sadly I don’t think this picture is showing any. I’m not sure what this picture is truly showing but the first thing I thought of was a toddler because of the body. And the fact that its covered in blood is beyond words. I get a bad vibe from it.(not the body) the picture.
Paranormal— The story was being spread via email so it’s a bit difficult to trace, however, after a little research came upon this you tube vid that says it was found in the forests of Trinidad, in the emails though, the place was Guyana. http://youtu.be/2W1mzOOlTMQ
Just to explain the name, “Buck” is the name given to a supposed creature found in Guyana. It’s supposed to be between 3 to 4 feet in height and once captured it has to grant any wish it is asked but it also asks for something in return…usually the life of a loved one. Not sure if it’s merely a story to keep kids in check but it’s been around for a while.
The body and right arm are pinkish, the head and left arm are tan/brown. Just sayin’…
Come on guys…The fact that most of us on here belong to some type of group beit Bigfoot, Paranormal, UFO…shows that we have either seen something at one point in our lives and can’t explain it..or it is just fasinating to us. Mine is a BigFoot encounter several yrs ago…But this pic has turn up in many different places, Maurissa from Trinidad and Tobago points out that is has been in circulatation for sometime…
However we are all here because we either believe will all our heart, want to believe or just want to mess with those who do…
This photo is a fake 100%…Don’t you think every major news outlet in the world would drop everything and take the Corp. Jet to get the first story….In an age where my 12 yr old can photo shop with the best of them…A live capture is the only way to study “new” species…aor who lnows maybe they have been studing us so long they can predict our next move…stay that elusive One Step Ahead..
This creature has genitalia exactly like a human baby. I have also seen a deformed human baby on you tube with similar facial deformity. The rest of the story in just bull in my opinion.
I have to believe it’s a hoax. The problem with proving any kind of supernatural or otherworldly being these days is that technology enables one to manipulate any kind of photographic “evidence” – from photoshopping to smart phone apps that allow a user to insert a “ghost” into a photo. I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t think I could believe any photo…I’ve have to see it with my own eyes.
why is it, that when there is a bigfoot picture, or lockness monster, or any kind of mystrious creature, the picture is ALL 100% blurry! alien pictures, blurry! i just don’t get it. doesn’t people KNOW how to use a camera???
Although I’m not saying that this article is based on true facts, haven’t you noticed, by now, that every time a news like this, involving paranormal/unexplained phenomena, emerges on different websites or forums, there are always a group of people posting the same puerile, idiotic comments like “it’s definitely fake” or “it’s obviously photoshoped” a.s.o. No intelligent person can make this kind of “absolute statements” without performing a more in-depth analysis, unless they are A. utterly stupid or B. they are getting paid to post comments like this in order to discredit/mock this type of events.
It looks like a cross breed between Asian and rabbit.
I think it is a very bad mutation of a human baby. All the blood and the medical glow makes me think that actually a stillborn newborn. Face looks like has harelip and what is on the back of the head I could not tell. Also the hand and the arm does look human even if it is deformed. I can not say why it is “white” where the majority of the population is black. Can be also that among everything that went wrong with that poor thing it is albino too. It does not look that could have lived too long. Mutations do to genetic glitches can produce quite strange things. One place to visit if interested in those things is the Mutter museum in Philadelphia PA
In africa there is a tribe call of “ostrich people” whos feet and hands have turned to crab claw like appendages. This is a result of numerous year of insest is could be possible that this could be the same kind of result. Most likely these kind of things end up being a hoax. On the other side if it is real killing it was not entirely a bad thing, this will prove that the species does exist and go toward preserving and understanding their kind. There are no bigfoot preserves because we cant prove 100% they are real same applies here.
Well I don’t think it is a mutant obviously whatever this creature is only for the simple fact that there were more than one of these things African pigmees perhaps.
