KARALMANNA (Palakkad): Peter Jackson's King Kong is set on a mysterious, uncharted island. He might as well have shot it in Kerala.
Or so it would seem, if - and that's literally a big if - claims by a team of amateur anthropologists are proved true.
The team claims to have discovered footprints of a "giant-man" who had a shoe size of 29 inches, lived in a shelter 50 metres high and weighed well over 400 kg.
Going by the footprint size, the creature may have been as tall as 17 feet, which would make it easily the "largest human form to roam the earth".
Announcing the 'discovery' on Monday, the team said the signs of the mammoth creature - found in a remote village some 60 km from Palakkad town in Kerala - "confirmed" the existence of 'Bigfoot'.
Ever since reports began in the mid-19th century of 'sightings' of the Yeti or Abominable Snowman in the Himalayas, there has been enormous fascination and speculation around the world about the fabled man-like being.
But most sightings reported in various countries, notably in the US, turned out to be either hoaxes or cases of overactive imaginations.
However, on December 30 last year, farmers in the forests of Malaysia claimed to have spotted a family of three.
Scientists who examined signs purportedly left by the beasts said Bigfoot cannot be ignored any more. In India, the amateur team insists it's on the right track.
"This is a site where many unknown geological, archaeological and anthropological facts lie buried," said S R Krishnaswamy, the man who led the team to Palakkad.
He had earlier discovered a stone-age site inside the deep forests of Coimbatore.
"It's a treasure-trove. Basically, the site where Bigfoot once roamed has a rock-shelter whose roof is 50 meters long, shaped into a circle. This would've been a deep jungle in the remote age." -
Thats just HOAAX
-
oh.
-
Looks like a fungal growth to me.
-
Fake.
Bigfoot footprints are said to look like human footprints, only much more bigger. That shape is obviously out of shape. -

Kerala: This sounds like straight out of a sci-fi flick. Amateur anthropologists have found evidence that a King Kong-like creature once inhabited Kerala.
A giant-sized footprint measuring 3 ft in length has been found in a remote village, 60 kilometers away from Palakkad town in Kerala.
The "Big foot", as it's being called, anthropologists say belonged to a pre-historic man.
Going by the size of the footprint, the anthropologists are hazarding a guess that the man was at least 17-feet-tall with a body weight of 400 kilogram making him the largest human form on earth known to man.
Villagers also discovered a cave, which they believe was home to this giant.
The cave has some smaller sets of footprints as well and has become a sight of worship for the local villagers. -
i think got but very blur.Originally posted by tt3:y everytime onli footprint... no photo of e real thn meh?? too clear ppl wil say its photoshop de. why no live specimen!? india how many ppl?? all go gang bang the creature la!! -
My guess is that this is a report of the tracks of an ancient homonid that once roamed that part of india. It may be a homonid with big feet, but not Bigfoot. It truely seems like any homonid that hasn't been 100% verified is now becoming bigfoot, and I'm not sure if thats a good thing.

Let's keep an pne mind. Even in US nobody has captured a bigfoot alive or dead yet.Originally posted by Ito_^:i think got but very blur. too clear ppl wil say its photoshop de. why no live specimen!? india how many ppl?? all go gang bang the creature la!!
On the other hand u can check this new discovery

New' giant ape found in DR Congo
The new ape has some gorilla (pictured) characteristics
Scientists believe they have discovered a new group of giant apes in the jungles of central Africa.
The animals, with characteristics of both gorillas and chimpanzees, have been sighted in the north of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
According to local villagers, the apes are ferocious, and even capable of killing lions.
A report about the mysterious creatures is published in this week's edition of the UK magazine New Scientist.
If they are a new species of primate, it could be one of the most important wildlife discoveries in decades.
The discovery of these apes "reveals just how much we still have to learn about our closest living relatives," New Scientist says.
'NEW' GIANT APE
Large, black faces (like gorillas)
Up to two metres tall (6.5ft)
Weigh 85kg-102kg (187lb-224lb)
Males make nests on the ground (like gorillas)
Diet rich in fruit (like chimps)
They stand up to two metres tall, the size of gorillas, and like gorillas, they nest on the ground, not in trees.
But they live hundreds of km away from any other known gorilla populations, and their diet is closer to that of chimpanzees.
Primatologist Shelly Williams is thought to be the only scientist to have seen the apes.
During her visit to DR Congo two years ago, she says she captured them on video and located their nests.
She describes her encounter with them: "Four suddenly came rushing out of the bush towards me," she told New Scientist.
"If this had been a bluff charge, they would have been screaming to intimidate us. These guys were quiet. And they were huge. They were coming in for the kill. I was directly in front of them, and as soon as they saw my face, they stopped and disappeared."
Mystery
The discovery has baffled scientists. There are three controversial possibilities to explain the origin of the mystery apes:
They are a new species of ape
They are giant chimpanzees, much larger than any so far recorded, but behave like gorillas
They could be hybrids, the product of gorillas mating with chimpanzees.
So far, researchers have little to go on, but they now plan to return to northern DR Congo to study the apes further.
In the meantime, there are fears that unless measures are taken to protect them, poaching could threaten this new group of primates before the mystery of their identity is resolved.
"This is a lawless area," says Kenyan-based Swiss photographer Karl Ammann, who tipped Ms Williams off about the apes.
"The government has practically no control over hunting. If we found something interesting it would attract more investment. People would be more interested in conserving it." -
No matter what, it's a new discovery. Hope that more lights can be shed.

I still don't think it belongs to Bigfoot. The footprint is just way out of shape.
