The skunk ape is a large, hairy mythical humanoid creature said to inhabit forests and swamps in the southeastern United States, most notably in Florida. It is often compared to, synonymous with, or called the "cousin" of Bigfoot, a prominent subject within popular culture. Many dubious articles have been presented in an attempt to prove the skunk ape's existence, including anecdotal sightings, supposed photographs, audio and video recordings, and casts of large footprints. The majority of mainstream scientists have historically discounted the existence of the skunk ape, considering it to be the result of a combination of folklore, misidentification, and hoax, rather than a living animal. The skunk ape has entered the popular culture of the southern United States, especially in Florida.
