2016 Papua New Guinea – Crocodile Point
Brian and I looked into a story of a man (Graham Sangeo) who reportedly had fed fish to a small bipedal dinosaur for years near Crocodile Point. According to our guide Leo Sangeo, Graham’s father, the animal turned out to be a male primate of some sort that walked primarily on two legs. He guided us to the abandoned cave where the creature was supposed to have lived in. Leo described the creature as brown-colored about a meter to a meter-and-a-half tall with big muscular arms and shoulders. The arms were shorter than the legs and its knees and big legs could be seen. The feet were like a dogs hind feet with five toes (I asked Leo repeatedly about this feature to make sure I understood him correctly). The animal had a very small-to-no-tail and canine teeth, like monkeys or apes have.
The creature would come down out of the cave at night and scrounge around on walking on two legs, at least apart of the time. It could be seen at times seemingly staring out to sea as if watching the horizon. Leo, Graham, and a few others would attach cooked fish to some tall branches and lift them up to it. It would then eat the food out of its hands. Leo said the animal grew bigger over time. The creature eventually brought two babies. He said he never saw the female. I’m not sure if the others saw the female or not. Graham discovered the creature in 2011 and fed it until he left for school in 2014 or 2015. Others continued to feed it afterwards, but eventually stopped, and the creature disappeared. Based on the description, I’m inclined to believe that this was a small ape of some sort, or possibly a small bigfoot-like creature. I was told by at least one other person along the distant Andru River that wild hairy men could be found in the Whitman mountain range of New Britain.
There are no known primates living in Papua New Guinea.
