Did anybody else see the “Is It Real?” episode? The tone of the program was skeptical with only a thin veneer of objectivity. Some “expert”, whose name I don’t recall, examined this track cast and pronounced that it didn’t look like a “functional” foot. The hairs that were DNA tested were human, but they may have been improperly collected.

Orang Pendek should be much different from homo florensis. Homo florensis anatomy is very similar to human anatomy, only smaller. But the Orang Pendek cast (if authentic) is much different. It has an opposable toe rather than the five toes grouped together like humans and homo florensis.

I have just ordered a DVD called, “The Short Man of the Forest, The Search for the Orang pendek” from England which is a documentary of Primatologist Murray Collens search for the Orang pendek in Highaland Sumatra. There was also a one page article in the March 2006 National Geographic about Peter Tse and Tim Mowrer setting up 50 camera traps in and around Kerinci Sebiat National Park in Sumatra with a colored image of Tse and Mowrer, a drawing of an Orang pendek and an image of a plaster cast of what may be the creature’s footprint which looks to be the same image as in this blog. What an interesting little creature and, hopefully, close to being found! It still makes sense to me that these might be living Flores Man.

A lot of un-explored area their. Could be something to the Orang Pendek.

Orang Pendek - a 3ft tall ape like creature? The camera used at Mt.Hood was set at 3ft - coincidence?
