Initial data
The human APE situation continued into the early 1990s, according to newspaper clippings thoughtfully provided by Mr. Durand.
One of such news, dated 26 July 1991, had the title "the Alarm spread because of Comicopera" ("Comecogollos" ( or plant eater of hearts, i.e. the devourer of hearts plants)) in which it was reported that the offended members of the population require decisive action from the Ministry of natural resources to pursue one or more of these haunting creatures.
They caused significant damage to local producers, who were further confused by ignoring the juicier tropical fruits.
The next news item was an interview with Manuel Rivera from the Lagunas area of Aguada on the island's West coast.
"We have been affected by this animal for 90 days,"Mr Rivera said. "This animal knocked down our SUVs and killed one of our dogs. He also killed goats, as I was told by customers who came to my store."
The planter went on to say that the nights were filled with "strange sounds" and suspected that the mysterious killer might be "something like a mandrill".
An unnamed local woman told reporters:
"We have a lot of children here, and there are fears that something bad may happen. This animal seems to have gone wild. It destroys everything in its path."
Original news
The situation involving the man-apes went on into the early 1990s, to judge by newspaper clippings thoughtfully provided by Mr. Duran. One such news item, dated July 26, 1991, bore the headline “Alarm Spreads Over the Comecogollos”, reporting that aggrieved members of the population were demanding decisive action from the Department of Natural Resources to go after one or more of these intrusive species. The manimals had caused significant damage to local growers, who were further confused that more luscious tropical fruit was being ignored by the prowlers. A subsequent news item featured an interview with Manuel Rivera from the Lagunas district of the city of Aguada on the island’s western coastline.
“We have been affected by this animal for 90 days now,” fumed Mr. Rivera. “This animal has knocked down our plantain trees and killed one of our dogs. It has also killed goats, as I’ve been told by customers who come to my store.”
The planter went on to say that the nights were filled with ‘strange noises’ and suspected the mystery killer could be ‘a sort of mandrill’. An unnamed local woman told reporters: “We have many children here and there is concern that something bad may happen. This animal seems to have gone wild. It destroys everything in its path.”
