Researcher produces new evidence of Bigfoot's existence
17 Nov 2006
KLUANG: A Bigfoot researcher came forward yesterday with what he claimed was new evidence of the creature’s existence in the deep jungles of Ulu Sedili in Kota Tinggi.
Mansur Poh gave several unpublished photographs to the New Straits Times, claiming they showed the footprints of the creature.
He said the photographs were snapped by some nature lovers early this year.
"The pictures of the footprints were taken in Ulu Sedili in Kota Tinggi and Kahang in Kluang this year."
Mansur is currently holding an exhibition on Bigfoot at the Dewan Che Luan Khor here in conjunction with the 5th Kluang Commerce and Industry Fair which will end this Sunday.
He is also a researcher of the Lesser Adjutants at the birds’ habitat in the coastal areas stretching from Muar to Batu Pahat.
Mansur said a preliminary report on his research on Bigfoot had been submitted to Menteri Besar Datuk Abdul Ghani Othman last month.
The report is titled "The Identity and Distribution of Bigfoot in Johor".
The research project is supervised by Associate Professor Dr Azhar Kassim who is with Universiti Putra Malaysia’s Department of Animal Science.
In his report, Mansur said he had interviewed 10 people from Segamat, Mersing, Kota Tinggi and Kluang who claimed they had seen Bigfoot or its footprints in the jungle.
One of those interviewed claimed that he saw four huge footprints, measuring 46cm by 28cm, last June.
The footprints, which he said were found at the Ulu Sedili Forest Reserve, were about two metres apart while the depth of each footprint was nearly 8cm.
Dr Azhar, meanwhile, said he is guiding Mansur in his research to ensure that it is being carried out in a scientific manner.
The local media highlighted the possible existence of Bigfoot early this year following the discovery of footprints in Kota Tinggi last December.
