Aspace For3 Visits The Skunk Ape Headquarter and Research Center In Ochopee Florida on The Florida Everglades Tamiami Trail.SkunkApe is known to be the cousin of Big Foot aka sasquash. However the skunk Ape is a little smaller at about 6feet tall and 450 lbs. Mostly sighted in The Florida Everglades around Ochopee Florida. The Headquarters was founded by Dave Shealy who at the early age of 10 spotted the Skunkape with his big brother for the first time. Dave Shealy has dedicated his life ever since to creating awareness about this strange smelly man ape or apeman spotted in the river of grass called The Everglades. An Urban legend, Hoax, or reality. The Skunk Ape Headquarters continues to do research and and document sittings. This family owned Roadside Attraction ''SkunkApe'' Headquarters offers a gift shop with really cool skunkape merchandise, an animal exhibit that includes: reptiles, a giant python snake over 25feet long and 350lbs by the name of Goldie. A few talking parrots, about four alligators, several turtles including a snap turtle and as if that is not enough they also offer a primitive camping RV campground or you can do some glamping inside one of the chickee cottages available inside Trail Lakes Camp Grounds. If you like Florida roadside attractions then Sunk Ape Headquarters is a must visit destination. Located right off of Tamiami Trail.

Florida’s Skunk Ape | Daily Planet
The name just says it all, doesn’t it? Florida’s Skunk Ape is said to wander through the swamps smelling like a combination of rotten eggs, and moldy socks. Tales of this unpleasant smelling creature have circulated around the Everglades for generations, but few have claimed to see it. Morgan joins Skunk Ape researcher Dave Shealy on his hunt to expose this creature. He bills himself as the Jane Goodall of skunk apes. “I am the expert,” he told a Bigfoot website last year “the state and county expert on the Florida skunk ape, and have been for years.”

They Live in Trees (skunk ape documentary)
This short-form student documentary is a character study of a man who dedicated 40 years of his life to finding the skunk ape (bigfoot of the Florida Everglades). We had a crew of four, three months, and a $500 budget. We made two trips to the Everglades and camped there overnight. I used the Canon XH-A1 and split shooting with a crew member. We jointly edited the piece using Final Cut Pro. Great collaboration helped pull everything together and make it the superior piece (out of seven) of our documentary production class at Florida State University.

Compelling Footage of Possible Skunkape/Bigfoot From Lettuce Lake Park Florida
About an hour ago, a reader of Bigfoot Evidence, Matt M. (no relation to Matt Moneymaker), sent us a video that completely blew our minds. While canoeing in a swamp outside of Tampa, Florida, the witness spotted something walking and diving in a gator infested area. He starting filming what he thought was a bear. The only problem is that Lettuce Lake Park is a 240-acre Hillsborough County-run park where bears tend to stay clear from. When the following footage was sent to us, Matt was still unsure of what he filmed. Upon closer inspection, we've concluded that this is no bear. Check out the length of its arms and its gate. Yeah -- we know bears can walk on their hind legs too, but this does not resemble a bear at all:
Matt wrote the following in an email to BFE:
I was canoeing some of the swamps around Lettuce Lake Park and saw what I thought was a bear. I told a park ranger about it and she said that bears don’t generally get into the swamp and that there were never many sightings in general. I showed her the video and she said she didn’t know what it was. I saw the Fox13 story about the bigfoot a few weeks ago that mayor said Bob Buckhorn made a statement about and thought this might be related in some way. I never put much faith in the old skunk ape legends but when I looked closer I noticed that it had long, swinging arms and moved through very thick swamp with ease. Certainly can’t explain it myself. I didn’t get very close but I hope that this footage can be enlarged.

Matt agrees with us that if it's a person, they are either a moron or completely insane. They are walking, swimming and diving in an area where there are hundreds of 12 foot gators and water moccasins everywhere. I was there watching it for a while. Seemed to notice me and walked toward deeper water. It went underwater and vanished. Paddled up there and it was nowhere to be seen.
