I guess some Cryptozoologist gonna be following these guys around for awhile with a shovel and a baggy......

Nice. Very nice. I forwarded that link to my zoo friends and every biologist I know -without delay. Man, it is lunchtime here, now I am craving Celocanth or maybe Okapi!

But we are missing a key question here:

How did it taste?

LOL

Seriously I bet this happens all the time, I wonder how many great species go known only to our tastebuds and stomachs.

Just tell me when we get around to roasting bigfoot or nessie lol.

He says he didn't eat it.
"Frenz said he and Van Roosmalen abstained from trying the meat, but collected some of the remains for a genetic study. (DPA)"

I'll have the "Big Foot Trio" with a coke please!

Seriously, I would of liked to see a pix of this animal....

makes you wonder, did it look familiar or did these guys just say

"hey whats that??! quick lets kill it and eat it!"
