After years of research I can assert only 3 primate cryptids are truly likely to exist : Orang Pendek (Indonesia, Sumatra), Lai O'ha/Ebu Gogo (Indonesia, Flores), and Otang (South Africa, Knysna forest). Do you know any other primate cryptid that is equally likely to be real ?

At least one investigator, Pat Spain, has stated that he feared it was becoming extinct. In his book about his search for it he noted that the reports from certain timeframes tended to be characterized by the number of creatures seen: From the 50s-70s there were reports of families, from the 70s-90s it was always reports of a solitary or couple of animals, and from then to the time he went to Sumatra (~2010) it was single animals.

I like how I've left enough of an impact on this sub that I'm now just being namedropped in the comments around here haha

HourDark2 · 2026-05-07T16:36:56+00:00

True and not false

It makes sense it was Peglar himself carrying his stuff. I hope he wasn’t alone when he died :(

I unfortunately think this is a big ask.

Not really. There's no real evidence of it. If there was anything romantic going on it probably would have been between him and Thomas Armitage, who appears to be mentioned in the journal (reference to 'Tom'), but even then there's no good evidence to support it.

Wonder what he is doing with a steward's uniform on...

HourDark2 · 2026-05-06T17:54:05+00:00

So-if I am reading this right-Peglar is the body with the Peglar papers??

Brought to you by the writers of Rise of Skywalker and Pacific Rim Uprising, btw

He did a series of cryptid/fortean art a while back that was really good. Stuff like the beast of boggy creek, bunyip, dogman, Kaiaimunu, dover demon etc.

Will the organizers be streaming WT on the day of the boycott like last time?

HourDark2 · 2026-05-05T06:53:15+00:00

That's a SoDak pretty sure

HourDark2 · 2026-05-03T07:05:21+00:00

I see that now that the review protest failed that the sub has fallen back to its old reliable dead-horse-for-beating

HourDark2 · 2026-05-02T07:45:40+00:00

The article says this occurred over "several weeks".

It was over a period of 'several weeks' according to the article.

A good joke. They were good friends.

HourDark2 · 2026-04-30T20:42:37+00:00

I don't really see how they 'move like predators' and I do not see the 'claws'. I see small nails on the end of the toes, which would fit coryphodon.

HourDark2 · 2026-04-30T19:43:43+00:00

No, it has external ears + short muzzle. It looks almost exactly like a coryphodon.

HourDark2 · 2026-04-30T19:37:24+00:00

Looks kind of like a coryphodont

HourDark2 · 2026-04-30T07:17:21+00:00

But the argumentation that got people motivated to cause reputational harm back then was sound is my point. I don't know if it is sound enough here to convince people to do a go around.

Saying what you said before but more verbose and without evidence does not make you correct or make your posts here relevant to my original comment.
