More Evidence of Orang Pendek

Fresh evidence has been found in the jungles of Sumatra supporting claims that a mythical 'jungle yeti' may exist, claim two UK explorers.

Adam Davies and Andrew Sanderson found footprints which seem to match examples they found three years ago, which were shown to be from a new species of ape.

The orang pendek, as it is known, is said by islanders to walk like a man.

I've long held the belief that if researchers ever discover a bipedal primate, Nike will quickly capture one and use it as their new spokesperson/celebrity endorser.
