As promised, I¡¦m back with a report on the news conference I
attended this afternoon and what I found out from my interview
with Mr. Vincent Chow.
Before I begin, I must warn you that what you are about to hear is
so incredible that it would take lots of faith to believe, and I¡¦m
not surprised if I¡¦d be bombarded with skeptical responses from
many of you. At any rate, I¡¦m just reporting what I¡¦ve seen and
heard¡K
Mr. Chow, IMHO, is a man who comes across as a very learned and
experienced 59 yr-old guy who exudes an air of confidence that
could only have come from a man who knows exactly what he¡¦s
talking about and is dead sure that he has solid evidence. I could
tell that this self-confessed "nature man" is also passionate
about wildlife and conservation- he has a deep respect for nature.
In short, he seemed to me, while we chatted, to be a
straight-forward, nature-loving person who didn¡¦t beat about the
bush when questions were thrown at him. He spoke with such
authority and sincerity that I was convinced that this man was
serious and very likely telling the truth.

Here¡¦s the statement he made that
either makes him a very confident man or a very insane one.
Shortly after he arrived at the conference, he announced this: A
book will be launched sometime soon (in June, he told me),
revealing all they know about the Malaysian Mawas from their 11
years of study of the animal. And -get this- they have clear
close-up photographs of male, female and juvenile animals!¡K Now,
when I asked Vincent if he had seen the creatures himself, he said
he had seen the photographs that could not have been faked. They
were real animals, with even genitalia visible. Mr Chow also said
the photos were so clear that he could see the wrinkles on their
faces. The point to note here is that Mr Chow believes this to be
surviving members of Homo erectus. When I asked him if they were
anything close to Gigantopithecus, he said that they were a very
distinct form. Here¡¦s his description of the male animal:
 
Sketches of Bigfoot
by Peter Loh.
The images
are copyrighted.
Head:
-
Protruding brow with thick and bushy
eyebrows.
-
Sloping forehead.
-
Ears large, as in some monkeys.
-
Distance between nose and lips about
2.5 times that of a man.
-
Nose flat, somewhat like a gorilla¡¦s,
nostrils very prominent.
-
Eyes are human-like but bloodshot and
protruding out of their sockets, giving them a "sinister" look.
(According to Vincent, they looked very intimidating).
-
Facial hair - almost none.
Body:
-
Broad shouldered, barrel-chested,
very well-built.
-
Adults up to 8, 9 or 10 ft. Juveniles
up to 5 ft.
-
Large adults walk with a slight hunch
due to height and weight.
-
Not as hairy as one would imagine (eg.
orangutan) or the American Bigfoot
(Vincent believes, due to different climate and environment, the
Asian species has adapted).
-
Most hair at back of head and
shoulders.
-
Hair on body only about 3 inches (he
indicated with his forefinger and thumb).
-
Juveniles have very dark hair, almost
black.
-
Adults have lighter, reddish brown
hair. As they grow older, the coloration lightens.
When a member of the press reminded
Vincent that the Sultan of Johor was skeptical about these
creatures¡¦ existence, he explained that the Sultan changed his
mind right after he saw the photographic evidence. These photos
were supposedly taken by an elderly man who has been observing
these creatures for years. "He took them with telephoto lenses,"
said Vincent.
The book is now in the works and, apparently, there are three
co-authors involved, one being a reporter from a well-known paper
(I shouldn¡¦t reveal here). The photos will also be published in
that book. So¡Kwhat now?¡K
