Sumatra's Bigfoot, The Orang-Pendek

Sumatra's Bigfoot, The Orang-Pendek. Story And Analysis: The small Indonesian Island of Sumatra is the home of this man-ape. She is said to stand three to five feet tall, is covered with short, dark hair, and has a thick, bushy mane. He walks mainly on the ground unlike the other apes on the island who live primarily in trees. She has a footprint very similar to the human's. Around 1959 Deborah Martyr found his footprints and made casts. She was originally a tour booker in England, but after sighting an Orang-Pendek in Sumatra, wanted to stay there and investigate. She was able to do that by becoming the head of a foundation to save the Sumatra Tiger and remained on the island. Besides being a rescuer of all kinds of animals in a world where animals are often treated cruelly, she spends her spare time trying to find the Orang-Pendek. As is common with the North American Bigfoot, the Orang will attempt to hide by sitting with his back to you, hoping you will mistake him for a stump. This happened to Debbie in Sumatra's jungle. She saw something that caught her attention, and her first instinct was to photograph it. Then she thought along the lines of " Naw, it's a stump." So she put down her camera, and the "stump" got up and ran deeper into the jungle, disappearing.
    At her first sighting of the Orang, Debbie noticed that she had a very human-like face,and her head was small compared to her shoulders. This is also characteristic of Sasquatch. She took her casts to the Director of the Kerengi Selbat National Park, and he did not know what made them. The orang lives mostly off fruits and small animals and is often seen by natives as he will raid their gardens and even their stored crops such as sugar cane. The key to finding the Orang-Pendek is in locating ones that are stealing crops and setting up a long-term camp and blind there. Chopping your way through jungles hoping to see an orang should only be done when you can absolutely not stand sitting in a blind any longer. Go get your exercise and then come back to the blind.
