Most cryptozoologysts think that the second one is a spider monkey or some other similar known monkey

That first one looks like a giant pill bug, you know the gray ones that live under rocks and roll up into balls.

The second image is in the image gallery and A-Z index. It is De Loys Ape. Quite famous.
De Loys' Ape
A very controversial case in which a group of men on an expedition in Venezuela in 1920 lead by Swiss geologist Francois De Loys, shot and photographed an alleged humanoid ape-like creature. Francois and his team had set up camp near the Tarra river, following a journey in which a number of his men had perished. Without warning, they were suddenly attacked by two large humanoid ape creatures, that wielded branches and howled menacingly at the men. Shocked, the men opened fire on the creatures, killing one of them, and injuring the other, which disappeared back into the forest. Examining the body of the dead creature, Francois noted that it was unlike anything he had ever seen before. Propping the corpse up on a crate with a stick, he photographed it, a picture that would become one of the most famous and controversial cryptozoology photographs ever. According to De Loys, the creature's body was skinned and cut up, in order for the skull to be preserved. All the remains allegedly went missing, however, and were never studied by any academic institution. In 1929, the photograph was published, and the creature assigned the name "Ameranthropoides loysi".
De Loys, Francois
Swiss Geologist who, in 1920, led an expedition in Venezuela, where he allegedly shot and photographed a strange ape-like creature that later became known as 'De Loys' Ape'
The first, i've seen it before but can't remember anything about it. Does indeed look like a huge pink pill bug (also known as a 'Woodlice')

That's exactly what I was going to say!

The first one is a Giant Isopod, not a pillbug. And Isopod is a known sea creature. Here is a picture of a normal Isopod next to a pillbug for size comparison.

As you can see the Giant is clearly a monster when compared to it's normal cousin.
The second one is DeLoy's Ape. Many believe it to be a spider monkey

An isopod is a ancient creature that has been around before the dinosaurs.It is a species of undersea crustacean.

yes, an Isopod is a Crustacean. there are a few different species of Isopods, most having a Carapace, or shell. They eat dead and decaying plants and animals, and some species feed on live plants. They breathe through gills, and they sometimes roll up in a ball when threatened just as pillbugs do.

htrn3000 back once more. I'm not sure but the thing with all the legs looks a heck of a lot like a horseshoe crab.And I'd be willing to bet it was found near the ocean on the east coast.And since I only live about a mile and a half from an inland bay that connects to the Atlantic,there's a darn good chance I'm right.I'm hoping someone can give me a little more info. about the thing. Well good night all I'm going to bed and listen to Coast to Coast AM on the radio for a while.

htrn3000again It seems I stand corrected and it wasn't a horseshoe crab after all. Well that was my best guess with only a bottom view. good night again!

The is simulateously somehow the ugliest and most beautiful creature I have ever seen! *laughs* I never knew such a thing existed. Is this truely a new species, belonging to an already existing group? Or can it be found in a text somewhere already?
