I know,I know I'm on the Myakka kick again.the reason I'm bringing up the photos again is that I want all of you input. few months now I've been intently just staring at me and trying to decide for myself fake or real.after alot of thought I have to say definately real!!I know we discussed the facial features Vs.an orangs body etc.but I started looking at the blowup of the hand and finally noticed something I hadn't before.what I take to be the third finger (next to the pinky contrasted in the shadow from the flash.)is longer than the middle finger.if this were a costume it would be fitted to human proportons I assume.meaning the costumers would have made the middle finger the longest right? thought I'd share this to see what you all thought about it?I honestly don't know about if an orang has it fingers positioned like this.and cant seem to find a decent photo of one with its hand showing,link for the pics iswww.lorencoleman.com/myakka.htm its the pic right below the first blowup on the right side.

Not enough information here jim other than this alledged copy of a photo taken by an alledged little old lady. Not enough evidence,The negs are not available to examine neither is the photographer to speak too. Sorry I can't say more.

Basically, the whole Myakka "Ape" deal makes me want to gag......

<crossing my fingers, hoping this will work>

Jim, here's a pic of an orang hand that I dredged up off the web. Maybe this will help?

I'm never gonna' be able to get a freakin' pic put up that will stay linked! DAMNIT!!!

OK. Since that crap didn't work, go to google.com select the images tab and then do a search for orangutan hand. You should be able to find it from there.

What a world...what a world...

Well, accepting the issues of not knowing the source of the picture other than it was some nameless old lady somewhere and accepting that we don't have access to the negs, I'm still leaning towards it being a real photo of an Orang, not a bigfoot/skunk ape.

Awwww, poor Fishy, the forum is being mean to him again...

(Question Fishy, why didn't you just post the link to the picture? )

Well that's what I was going to do but the pic was in a .gif file that was a cutesy quiz for kids. "Hey kids! Can you tell which hand is which" (OMG! Now I've got Ernie in my head singing, "One of these things is not like the other, one of these things does not belong..." )

I just thought I'd extract the pic, then post it on here to simplify things. Guess I'm finally going to have to bite the bullet and start using the Comcast webpage we've got. Only thing is I don't have a clue how to do it. Oh well, thank goodness I'm not too old to learn. :wink:

Thanks anyway fishy.I found it(and guessed correctly too )

This one should work (for 3 months anyway!)

love your sarcasm........"leaning"

Oh, uh, yeah! I meant to say that!
