Bigfoot in South America ???

Is this a bigfoot, or a rather large monkey....or a fake?

Personally, I am unsure as I am not an expert in either cryptozoology or photo editing. Any insights?

" It stood about 5 feet tall (1.5 metres) and was too heavy to carry
with them, so they propped it sitting on a crate, placing a pole under it's chin to photograph it..........Officially there are no apes in
South America, which is why this creature had no rational explaination. Not only did it walk upright on
two legs like a human, but it had no tail"

You pic is not showing, but from the description you gave, I believe I have seen the picture before. It is an old pic in black and white. The ape(?) is very unusual. I think there have been a few threads already posted on the topic. Try searching with Bigfoot, large, and ape.

Of course there are no apes in south america there was a male and a female and these morons shot the female............
