		<description>The ape you are looking for for is the as yet documented &quot;Crested Chimp&quot;, the sub-species of gorilla. A relative of mine who wasn&#039;t a Seal, but did accompany them as a guide several times in both North and South Congo. I don&#039;t know if any of the teams are the ones who took the footage, but the ones he lead were on a search and recovery expeditions. He had to warn them about the local ape populations because the chimps can be super aggressive, but the gorillas are shy like normal. These apes are NOT supposed to be there and most researchers think they are a valid undocumented subspecies. The &quot;Crested Chimps&quot; have overturned cars and allegedly a child. Its threat display consists of raising its shoulder and back hair.  There is a video of them (the crestless type) on youtube at a primate sanctuary under the headline &quot;giant chimps&quot;. They are thought to be split into two groups. One was crestless, and the other type has a crest like a gorilla. It was thought they may be hybrids of chimps and gorillas, but that description has lost support by primatologists.</description>

		<description>Well i think this is an extreme possibility!  its always so much easier to believe that we are superior know all and have found all! absolutely not the case! not to spark anyones fire but how come it is so easy for most to believe in god? you never see it do you? it all comes down to the reason religion was established in the first place to control doubts,fear and to make people more susceptible to imposed belief.
although it is easy for most to believe the earth was made in a day it isn&#039;t for me! how can you say evolution wasn&#039;t real? i think we shouldn&#039;t be so full of our selves to say &quot;oh if there where something out there we would find it.&quot; we are always in a power struggle.
face it people weird things happen everyday! Mr.Coleman had said about nature being very strange! maybe said primates had something similar to what happened to this woman a 40 year old indonesian school teacher has developed a slight problem over the years – She grows wire from her stomach. The first symptoms started in 1991 and have since continued. The wires vary in size from 10 to 20 cm long.

    One of her sisters said that she tried to help by trimming the wires. Alas, whenever she trimmed the wires, the wire retreated as if it were hiding and then popped up in another part of Noorsyaidah’s body.


I truly don’t know what to make of this, and neither do experts.

    There have been 4 Medical Specialists taking this matter seriously and have treated her in several ways. And as the result, doctors can’t figure out what exactly is happening to her. The doctors have taken an X-Ray image from her stomach and found that there are more than 40 metal wires inside her and some of them are bursting out of her skin.
weird huh? its happening to known humans why can&#039;t it be a natural occurrence for a species we know nothing about?!
i do believe there are things out there that we do not see. it happens to too many people, for it just to dismissed as a hoax! our government covers everything up from elections to personal matters. of course if something comes along to make us look like an inferior race of course we are going to extinguish it! 
so i guess the guy was out on his mission and said to himself, &quot;hey i know how to spice up my life! i  will just lie about seeing some strange primates!&quot; yeah, i could maybe see if he was seeking publicity like those other jerks but, he decides to remain anonymous  to avoid criticism!  
i would like to know more about the cryptic collected by the man with the NASA van or the thing that was airlifted from afganistan!
i guess i have to say i like facts just as much as the next person but, when a majority of your country believes a single force made the earth in a day(even though we have bones dating back millions of years that there were inhabitants before us)(also that man was an evolved species) you have to believe in something a little more convincing!</description>

		<description>&quot;F215, you’re mistaken about the SEALs ( and other SOF) operating in western Africa in general and the Congo in particular. They have operated there, intermittently, for more than 20 years. Why? There are strategic resources in the region and other nations and non-national entities want a share. Let it go at that. They also conduct frequent (almost perennial) training exercises with Rwandan forces, so it would not surprise me at all that they would have been “observers” or “advisors” for the Congalese operations. British SAS could just as easily have been along on that op, too. In fact, it’s likely that the Brits were at least in the area.

Whether this account is true has nothing to do with SEAL presence there and a claim of being a SEAL is, as you pointed out, quite verifiable. I’m only calling to your attention that USSOCOM operators can and do go almost everywhere on the planet. Sometimes, though, it’s best for them not to talk about it.&quot;

I was being VERY specific about the location and time frame, as well as the branch of SOF, and I am well aware of the capabilities of the various SOF units. Don’t confuse the issue by throwing in SF missions in Rwanda for comparison. This story is complete and utter nonsense, just like the wanna-be who reported it.</description>

		<description>I have seen something similar to the african Kalanoro in southern Ireland in 1986. While going for a jog one morning about 6.00am i was approaching a wooded area beside our farm. I suddenly noticed this grey like ape creature sitting down on the grass verge beside the road. Being curious i started jogging on the spot to take a look, it was about 2.5 to 3.0 feet tall, with a grey body and hardly any hair. Anyway i assumed it was a descendent of some ape ancestory and being near a wood thought it wasn&#039;t an unusual sight so i carried on with my morning jog. On the way back home from my jog i noticed it was gone, and was dissapointed that i didn&#039;t take a closer look, however if i did it might have considered me a threat. Anyway looking at the photo of the african Kalanoro i must say it bears a striking resemblance to the ape i saw that morning, everything except the excess body hair.</description>

		<description>Well as a future member of the U.S. military and a firm believer in unknown Bipeds, I can say I believe this story. Because if this &quot;confidential source&quot; is a Navy SEAL then he has absolutely no reason to lie. But if this is just some average joe looking for attention, then he should be arrested for impersonating U.S. Military personnel.</description>

		<description>I want to believe this story is true, but the whole &quot;SEAL&quot; thing and &quot;video is classified&quot; sounds like a lot of smoke and mirrors to disguise a very well thought out hoax. That being said there have been some 55 new species discovered in Borneo in the last year so who knows, there might actually be a quilled evil monkey-creature lurking in the Congo, just highly unlikely.

		<description>Spiny apes and Kalanoros; interesting story with possibilities.

As a freelance science writer who has traveled in Madagascar, I know something about its fauna and its evolutionary history.

From the main article: &quot;If the US Navy SEAL report is correct, there may be something quite similar to the Kalanoro living in the Congo area too.&quot;

I assume you mean a closely related species, which isn&#039;t likely. The people writing here, including the posters, don&#039;t seem to realize the immense differences in flora and fauna between mainland Africa and Madagascar, and they seem to assume that monkeys and apes are found on mainland Africa AND Madagascar. But the two landmasses are like separate worlds. There aren&#039;t and never were any monkeys or apes on Madagascar. The island became isolated in the Eocene Epoch, before monkeys and apes evolved. I&#039;m a tad surprised that no one mentioned the LEMURS, the native primates of Madagascar. Lemurs, of which there are around 50 living species, are primates, but neither monkeys nor apes; they represent a side branch of primate evolution. In zoological terms, they&#039;re &quot;prosimians,&quot; or &quot;pre-monkeys&quot; more closely related to the prosimian potto and bushbabies of mainland Africa.

Lemurs resemble (but are not true) monkeys, with fox-like faces and enormous eyes.

According to DNA comparison studies of living and extinct lemur species (the extinct lemur bones contain DNA), the lemurs most likely all evolved from a single ancestor species, related to the potto and bushbabies, that rafted on floating vegetation from Africa in the late Eocene Epoch, when prosimians had evolved.

Now that we&#039;re on the subject of lemurs, there are 13 recently extinct lemur species, all of which were larger than the species still alive. These are the true stuff of cryptozoology, since they were bizarre, we know they existed, and there are rumors of their continued existence as living creatures.

The last of the extinct lemur species died out within the last few centuries, while some may even have made it into the 20th century. There are stories all over Madagascar about supposedly extinct lemurs that are still alive.

Some of the extinct species were honest-to-god giants. Of the living lemur species, the INDRI is the largest, at about 20 pounds adult weight. Adult individuals of the largest extinct species, Archaeoindris fontoynontii, weighed up to 400 pounds, the size of an adult gorilla. It was not a &quot;true&quot; gorilla or any other sort of ape, it was a giant, prosimian lemur that evolved to gigantism in isolation on Madagascar. The sifakas, living lemurs that look like a cross betwixt monkeys and siamese cats, are often mistaken for monkeys, but they are not monkeys, merely lemurs that evolved to resemble monkeys, in isolation on Madagascar.

The &quot;Archaeolemuridae&quot; (don&#039;t confuse with Archaeoindris) were 3 species of extinct lemur that spent much or most of their time foraging on the ground. They vaguely resembled baboons, but once again, they weren&#039;t baboons or any other kind of monkey, they evolved by themselves on Madagascar.

The &quot;Paleopropithecidae&quot; were large, mostly arboreal lemurs (excepting the one I mentioned above, Archaeoindris fontoynontii, who was too heavy). The other paleopropithecids looked and lived much like New World sloths, hanging from branches by specialized, hooklike hands and fingers, and, like sloths, slowly going about their business.
The &quot;Megaladapidae&quot; were about human-sized, with massive, horselike skulls, who spent their days in trees eating leaves by the bushelful.

I&#039;ve read accounts of Kalamoro, and I have no idea what they represent. Like bigfoot and most other cryptids, there are endless stories but no hard evidence. Tha Kalanoro seem to represent, not primates of some sort, but an archetypal image, experienced worldwide, in the human imagination, of small, furry, apelike creatures.

Trumbore&#039;s drawing of Kalanoro and the description by the navy seal of apelike creatures in the Congo, look and read more like Chupacabra, which is likely another archetypal image rather than a real creature.

Pottos do have spines of a sort, but they are not erectable or detachable. The spines are projections of the vertebrae, which have grown through the skin along the animal&#039;s back. For defense, the potto rolls itself into a ball, head between its front legs, thereby putting the spines between himself and the attacker.</description>

<p>I&#8217;ve read accounts of Kalamoro, and I have no idea what they represent. Like bigfoot and most other cryptids, there are endless stories but no hard evidence. Tha Kalanoro seem to represent, not primates of some sort, but an archetypal image, experienced worldwide, in the human imagination, of small, furry, apelike creatures.</p>
<p>Trumbore&#8217;s drawing of Kalanoro and the description by the navy seal of apelike creatures in the Congo, look and read more like Chupacabra, which is likely another archetypal image rather than a real creature.</p>
<p>Pottos do have spines of a sort, but they are not erectable or detachable. The spines are projections of the vertebrae, which have grown through the skin along the animal&#8217;s back. For defense, the potto rolls itself into a ball, head between its front legs, thereby putting the spines between himself and the attacker.</p>

		<description>I guess we need a body. Pictures and video and the like are no longer dependable due to editing and special effects programs so we can&#039;t rely on those to ferret out the truth.  This story of the quilled apes reminds me of the sighting on the Ivory coast of small bipeds in the 1920&#039;s that were sharing the beach with a troop of baboons shucking oysters and other shell fish.  I forget the name of the bloke who spied them in his field glasses but it doesn&#039;t seem that unlikely considering that Africa is the birthplace of all monkeys and apes.
When the first crypto-ape is officially discovered the degree to which we&#039;ll attach credibility to such reports as these and others will surely increase.  We need that body OR that 10 minute piece of clear footage.</description>

		<description>Hello from Tom Slick and WOAI country - SATX!!
I just came on here today.
True, WOAI does say any old thing about the Chupacabra, but the early reports here (not WOAI) - not the mangey dogs - were the spikey 3&#039; bipedal type that I immediately thought of when I saw the art here.
Also, the African report coincides with the creepy ET-Grey/Sasquatch-Yeti-Bigfoot/Sith-Chitahouri (spelling?) team sighting phenomena i.e. ET&#039;s working with/near Skunkapes in sightings/livestock raids/mutilations.
The Africa front is especially interesting with regards to politico-militaric manipulation by both human special ops types and moreso, the chitahouri/gray/draco-reptoids.  For this check out Credo Mutwa, the Zulu Elder who David Icke (Yes, I said David Icke!!!) interviews more than once on audio and video.
Mutwa speaks of encounters with, including ingestion (amazing stuff!)of these type of beings, and especially their manipulation of the Continent going back more than decades.

Glad to see this site!  Hope to hear more! Thanks.  Nate</description>
