Land creatures. United States

In the US state of Florida, a hunting camera installed in an unnamed location took a picture of a mysterious creature. The creature in general resembles a chimpanzee, but it is either a chimpanzee with ugly facial bones, or not a chimpanzee.

There are no monkeys in the wild in Florida at all, but for several decades there have been rumors about the so-called skunk monkey, a monkey-like cryptid.

This cryptid is sometimes described as a primate, such as a chimpanzee, orangutan, or gorilla, and sometimes as something very human, like a bigfoot.

The image from the camera was transmitted to cryptozoologists by an unnamed owner of the camera and published on the blog of the Rocky Mountain Sasquatch Organization researchers .

"My buddy who is researching the Florida skunk monkey got this from our wilderness," the author wrote. "If it's a fake, then it's a good one! What do you think it is?"

According to cryptozoologists, the picture may show a mother with a cub. The fur of the cub is lighter, we can see its head and part of the shoulders.

The skunk monkey is a cryptid monkey—like creature that, according to cryptozoologists, inhabits forests and swamps in the southeastern United States. The alleged creature is also commonly referred to as the Florida Bigfoot, and it is often compared, synonymized, or referred to as the "cousin" of Bigfoot, a well-known subject of North American pop culture.

The skunk monkey has been appearing in the folklore of Florida, Georgia and Alabama since European settlers first occupied the region.

In 1818, local newspapers reported a story from what is now Apalachicola, Florida, which told of a "monkey the size of a man" raiding grocery stores and chasing fishermen along the shore.
