– – Heh, you gotta love MonsterQuest for its theatrical episode titles, and this one sounds like a B-movie out of the 50’s! Anyhow, the Monkster is described as up to 8′ tall but nimble; he’d be a great b-ball player. Monkey Man also has black hair, a gorilla-like face, and makes strange sounds. It’s a complete package.
Indigenous to India, accounts of Monkey Man date back to 77 B.C., when he was described by Pliny. Supposed attacks of the creature reached a high in May 2001 in Delhi, with victims beaten and clawed by a powerful assailant; three people died while fleeing the creature, and dozens were hospitalized. The most recent attacks are attributed to Meghalaya, where 14-1/2″ footprints and broken branches were found. Natives in this part of India call the creature “the forest man.” Blood samples were taken from the walls of a dwelling where an encounter occurred, and hair samples were also found elsewhere.
And what, you may ask, did MonsterQuest find?–Interestingly enough, the bites that were found on supposed victims were of a different nature than those inflicted by a monkey or another animal. Hairs that were found and subjected to microscopic analysis were found to be similar to those of the red panda; blood samples were human. Police investigations in Delhi were negative, and experts suggest a mass hysteria/psychosis phenomenon.
A Hindu deity also has simian features, but he is noted to be a benign type, not really into the biting, scratching, and clawing thing…
–Vancouver Island off the Canadian coast was visited by MonsterQuest during a recent episode in search of a large, ape-like cryptid 6′ – 9′ tall and weighing about 800 lbs., reported to be agile despite his size. The island can only be reached by water, but grizzlies can do this and primates likewise can learn to use water. This cryptid appears near water-rich areas, and appears to enjoy shellfish.
–It has a large, somewhat mammalian head, clawed fins, and a trident-like tail…so they say of Florida’s sea monster, with sightings dating back to the 1800’s. There’s apparently more than one of these puppies, and they have the potential to move quickly with a lot of power. Hours of video footage exist by a guy named Sowerwine showing bits and pieces of the creature.
–A mysterious creature has been reported around Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Described as reddish, weighing about 200 pounds, and looking like a giant beaver, the animal may be a pig or a capybara, although game officials think it is most likely a nutria.
–There’s a special place in my heart for the Jersey Devil, having resided in New Jersey for years in the past. I never liked portrayals of the Jersey Devil 
–Known as The Swamp Stalker of Boggy Creek or The Boggy Creek Monster, this cryptid is reportedly a large, black-haired, barrel-chested creature who walks upright and stands about 7′ high. He was the subject of a 1972 movie titled,
