Clarence ‘Bigfoot’ pictures spark interestSaturday, 3 June, 2006
Han Mobius
Hans Mobius of Clarence says he was clearing brush on his large horse farm Saturday, and was taking pictures of some trees he plans to have cut down, when something very strange happened. Mobius claims that about 200 feet away, he saw what appeared to be a large ape. He started snapping pictures, then the creature, or person, took off into the woods.”He had sort of a loping gait,” Mobius said. He said he has lived on his horse farm for five years and has never seen any evidence that an animal other than the horses lives there.Shown the pictures, Jerry Aquilina, Buffalo Zoo General Curator, said, “Gut reaction is it looks like something in a costume.”Aquilina was skeptical about the shape of the heads, hands, the coat color, even the posture. He was even reluctant to comment on the mystery.”Zoologists in general, especially taxonomists and anthropologists, are usually reluctant to believe anything like that exists unless they have a specimen in hand,” Aquilina said.

He did say that a large primate could adapt to and survive in the climate of Western New York, but that such a large animal would need to forage for a lot of food, and so is highly unlikely to go undetected for long.
