That cast looks to be very odd shaped to be a Bigfoot cast. The heel looks
to be to narrow to be consistent, with the rest of the foot. Maybe a rhino
that has drag its foot making it to look like a heel, that appears to look
longer than what it really is. Just my opinion.

Uh, are the top photos of the very same track cast?

On the top three photos the grasping toe or ‘thumb’ toe or vestigial …. whatever …. is on the wrong side. It appears the arch of the foot is on the opposite side from the toe. Heck of an arch, too.

Perhaps an argument could be made that the last toe away from the arch is a broken little toe and is therefore at a right angle to the foot itself – but I am not going to make that argument.

To follow KenMD’s thought, IF we are still talking strangely evolved bipeds, maybe it is the manifestion of the Id creature from “The Forbidden Planet” with Leslie Nielsen. that’s the right movie, on the planet Alterra 7, right?

Look at the outlined Orang Pendek print above. The new casts have a similar configuration of the four toes. The configuration/placement of the originally opposable fifth toe is just different. And of course the new casts are much much larger.

I find the Orang Pendek reports pretty convincing – one of the recent sighting descriptions was made by a primatologist. Whatever made these tracks (if not hoaxed or misidentified) would seem to be a distant relative, although closer than the North American cryptid apes.

boy if that is a bipedal track then that is the stupidest trick evolution has came up with yet. I mean, how would you walk on that????
Looks to me like a print of a large chicken w/ elephantitis of the foot.
I am going w/ rhino or other animal stepping on its own track, or hoax, or most likely just plain coincidental finding.
Not primate for sure (but then again I think I had an old uncle w/ some jacked up toes.)

It’s a crippled or malformed rhino foot impression.

Have there been any reports of dermal ridges found on any of the Malaysian footprints or is the ground to sloppy for that sort of detail to be retained?

To me this looks nothing like any of the traditional bigfoot prints although I have seen Yeti prints that look slightly similar-but to be honest I get the feeling that this is non Primate.

My knowledge of the local wildlife is very poor but I was wondering if the print could be that of a large Alligator slithering through mud or a double impression of a Rhino or maybe a hippo.

If the print is from a Primate then it must be large and completly different to anything traditional (western) bigfoot researchers or spotters have ever seen.

These prints do pose some fascinating questions which I am looking forward to being answered and the sooner the better.

I get the feeling though this Malaysian situation is going to run and run.

Distorted rhino track.
