Title A name given to the resource Skunk Ape Subject The topic of the resource Cryptid of North America Description An account of the resource The Skunk Ape is described as a bipedal ape-like creature that is purported to roam and inhabit forests and swamps of the southeastern United States, specifically Florida. The Skunk Ape is named for its unpleasant odor and odd look, vaguely resembling the Sasquatch of the Pacific Northwest, though it is much shorter in comparison. It is known to have a red mottled color (as opposed to the brown or black coloration of Sasquatch) and has arms similar to an orangutan. Some have also reported that it has white splotches around its eyes, similar to that of a gibbon monkey. The Skunk Ape has been noted as part of Florida, Georgia, and Alabama folklore since the settler period. Seminole myth speaks of a foul smelling, physically powerful, and secretive beast that stalked fishermen and raided their stores of food.
