Bigfoot a hot topic again

THE locals around Kota Tinggi are again intrigued by talk of Bigfoot.

This time around, the talk revolves around rumours that a group of men have caught a baby Bigfoot.

The baby of the thickly furred animal, according to the locals, was caught near the Tanjung Leman Jetty, situated about 70km from Kota Tinggi after it was shot with tranquilliser darts about two weeks ago.

The rumours, reported Berita Harian, started when the men who claimed to be from the Wildlife Department stopped at a stall in Felda Tenggaroh and related their experience in catching the baby Bigfoot which they later took to Kuala Lumpur.

Several locals claimed that the men told them that they had camped overnight in the jungle before coming across three of the animals, including a baby that seemed to belong to a family.

They then shot the baby using tranquilliser darts and took it out of the jungle.

A stall helper Halida Limat claimed that the men did not allow her to take a look at the animal which they kept in the back of a four-wheel drive vehicle bearing the Wildlife Department logo.

Another stall owner, who declined to be named, however claimed that he had a glimpse of something that was very hairy and quite big lying in the back of the vehicle.

Johor Wildlife Department director Abdul Razak Majid, however, said he was not aware of any operations by the department's officials to track Bigfoot in the area.

your right,it sounds like a hoax.from what i have heard,a bigfoot is very protective of its young,so i doubt they could have taken a young one without a fight.just a way to sell more magazines.

This story is at least a month old, this is (I think) the third thread, or thread mentioning this. The story is a likely fake, it went away quietly. Had it been genuine, the world would know by now.
The Malay Bigfoots 'ey. Hope they catch one.

Can't be. Can you imagine the ethical reprecussions. Stealing a baby from it's parents. We have no idea how advanced this primate is. Activists would be lined up from Johor to Jerusalem.
Malasia has been in the papers a bit lately with Bigfoot News. No Pendeks yet I'm afraid. I'd say tourism stunt considering the current situation concerning general hatred of westerners throughout the region ATM.
