\"\"<\/a>According to noted cryptozoologist, Loren Coleman, these bipedal (and occasionally violent) chimp-like primates can be found throughout the American south.<\/p>\n

The term NAPES, which was coined in the 1960’s by cryptozoologist LOREN COLEMAN<\/a>, is an acronym for North American Apes. Not to be confused with atypically large, bipedal Hairy-Hominids such as BIGFOOT and SASQUATCH, these chimpanzee-like primates appear to dwell in the swamplands and forests of the American Mid-West and South-East.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The mystery surrounding these creatures, which have often been associated with the DEVIL MONKEY<\/a> and Florida SKUNK APE phenomenons — as well as the legendarily aggressive FOUKE and HONEY ISLAND SWAMP MONSTERS — has been reignited in the opening years of the 21st century with sightings of chimp or even some orangutan-like animals like Sarasota, Florida’s MYAKKA APE. Still others like the ARKANSAS APE MAN<\/a> and the TENNESSEE MYSTERY MONKEY were both sighted during the autumn of 2003.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Coleman — who was part of the party to the discovery of NAPE tracks near Decatur, Illinois in 1962 — believes that these creatures may be specimens of the genus Dryopithecus, which are an extinct group of semi-erect apes, whose fossils have been discovered in Africa, Asia and Europe, and who many scientists believe may be a direct ancestor to both modern apes and man.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
