Swamp gas

According to local legend, the swamps of Florida, Louisiana and Texas are inhabited by a large, dangerous ape-like creature, known as the Skunk Ape. It smells, too. Scientists are sceptical, claiming that exotic pets or zoo animals gone AWOL might be responsible for some of the sightings. However, the Skunk Apes were known to the Natives long before crazy White menagerie owners reached the Americas. And while Skunk Apes do look vaguely like Orang-utans, they smell. Self-respecting orangs, alas, do not.

Yes, folks, "MonsterQuest" is back with a new episode...

While the Skunk Ape is interesting, "MonsterQuest" is just as dragging and boring as usual. Geezus, why does this show have to be like this?

But sure, if you have an unhealthy obsession with big, hairy things with an odour, you probably don't want to miss "Swamp Beast". It features a debunking of the famous Florida Skunk Ape photo, a funny sequence showing knuckle-walking orangs, and reconstructions of eye-witness accounts with the elusive monster. My favourite is the guy who claims that the Skunk Ape looked like a "monkey"!

Of course, "Swamp Beast" is also available on a very special DVD featuring almost the entire Season One of this series. Or free of charge at Youtube, if you are stingy, smell or live in the wrong DVD region...
