Image: AI-generated (Bing AI / Dall-E 3) Pretty much everyone will have heard of Bigfoot, however it is not the only 'hairy hominid' legend in North America - several states have their own version of the creature.

One of the best known examples is the Skunk Ape - a pint-sized hominid believed to roam the swamps of Florida.

Measuring up to 7 ft in height, this smaller 'cousin' of Bigfoot is named after the atrocious smell that some witnesses have reported during sightings or when the creature is suspected of being close.

Now a new documentary series - The Skunk Ape Experiments - is aiming to get to the bottom of the mystery and determine the truth behind this elusive hairy hominid once and for all.Based in Myakka City, Florida, the series will follow cryptid investigators Stacy Brown Jr., Ryan Golembeske and James Brost as they search Myakka River State Park for signs of the creature.

"The Skunk Ape Experiments is a trilogy of films that follows OutKast Paranormal on an adventure into Myakka city, Florida on a Skunk Ape investigation like you've never seen," the synopsis reads.

"Lead by lifelong Skunk Ape researcher Stacy Brown Jr, Ryan 'Rpg' Golembeske and James Brost the team delves into new methods to finally find conclusive proof of the creature Floridians call the Skunk Ape."

The series is currently available to watch on Vudu.
