Museum Manager Thomas Lockyear will explore the facts & fiction surrounding this iconic South Florida cousin of the better-known “Bigfoot,” including its roots in indigenous culture and historic sightings dating back centuries.

In early July of the year 2000, local resident David Shealy captured video of a tall, hairy, bipedal humanoid creature running through the shoulder-high sawgrass of the Big Cypress Swamp behind his home. In his mid-30s at the time, Shealy had first spotted the elusive Everglades cryptid, commonly known as the “Skunk Ape,” while hunting with his older brother at the age of 11. Today he is known as the foremost authority on the region’s legendary hide-and-seek champion.
