Trivial Tuesday

Trying to step away from TV and movies for at least the occasional question here on Trivial Tuesday, this weeks category is Cryptozoology.

It seems that every part of the world has its own legend about mysterious creatures that avoid detection except by people with remarkably shaky cameras. The hirsute hominid is one of the most common of these legends, showing up in tales of Sasquatch, Yeti and others. Even Florida has its own version. What is the bigfoot-like cryptid roaming the wilds of Florida?

Answer and claim bragging rights for the week.

And for the record, the Fount of Useless Information's favorite cryptid is the horrifying Mongolian Death Worm.

Update: Congratulations to Becki who, even after living through the trauma of a car accident yesterday, knew that the smelly cryptid stalking the forests of Florida is the Skunk Ape. I suppose I would have to have accepted orangutan as well since the pictures of the skunk ape look suspiciously like any orangutan pictures from a zoo. Not that I'm a skeptic of any sort.

Until later...

The Skunk Ape, perhaps?

I figured this question wouldn't take long to answer, but 45 minutes really is quick. Congrats.

Becki said...

Bah...Becki's a skunk ape.

Thanks, CK! Aurora's just mad that I answered before her. (And that she smells like a Skunk Ape.)

Becki said...

Yes. And no I don't! I smell like Minion and teen spirit.
