A new interview with Dave Shealy, the lead researcher at Skunk Ape Research Headquarters in the Everglades, has been making the rounds on YouTube. In the video, Shealy shares his personal encounter with a skunk ape when he was just 10 years old, and how that experience sparked his lifelong passion for researching these elusive creatures. During the interview, Shealy explains that when he was a child, he and his brother Jack were out hunting in the marsh behind their property when they spotted a hair-covered animal about 100 yards away. At first, they thought it was a skunk, but as they got closer, they realized it was something much more unusual. "It was obviously human-like, covered with hair," Shealy recalls. "We could have shot it, we had a gun, but for some reason, we didn't. We just turned and ran back to the house." This sighting sparked a lifelong interest in skunk apes for Shealy, who grew up in the Everglades and spent much of his childhood exploring the wilderness. He explains that skunk apes are a smaller species than Bigfoot, and they spend a lot of time in trees. They also have four toes, instead of the traditional five toes seen in Bigfoot tracks. Shealy has had several encounters with skunk apes over the years, and has even managed to videotape and photograph them. He spends thousands of hours out in the Everglades, and is always on the lookout for new sightings and evidence of their existence. In the interview, Shealy also discusses the importance of raising awareness about skunk apes and the role that his research center plays in educating the public. He encourages everyone to learn more about these fascinating creatures and to keep an open mind about their existence.
