Child Sasquatch? or Monkey in a wig?

[CurEus]

Interesting, the hands, colouring as well as the gait are intriguing. Purportedly from Azerbaijan.


Igor Burtsev of the International Center of Hominology, brought this video to our attention and had this to say:
It presented on Utube as a captured small hairy creature on the Caucases but not exactly where. Somebody wrote that in Karachaevo-Cherkes republic? but as I could understand they were talking in Azerbaijan language (now it’s a separate state by the Kaspian sea)/ And I noticed there on a piece of paper Arabic and Latin letters show the date – November 30, 2016, or еhe year 1395 Hijri (?)and the name Haji Taha – in Russia they don’t use such writings, it’s another confirmation of Azerbaijan location of the case (my personal investigation, as I know Azerbaijan language and Arabic writings too).
The Arabic writings show some figures – 75,11,95, 25 – and a couple of letters

[Did You See Them]

Hard to tell but I did notice that at 3.50 it's fingers appeared to be webbed !

Webbing on hands and feet would support the Aquatic (Naked) Ape theory.

Humans are classed anatomically among the primates, the order of which includes apes, monkeys and lemurs. Among the hundreds of living primate species, only humans are naked. Two kinds of habitat are known to give rise to naked mammals - a subterranean one or a wet one. There is a naked Somalian mole rat which never ventures above ground. All other non-human mammals which have lost all or most of their fur are either swimmers like whales and dolphins and walruses and manatees, or wallowers like hippopotamuses and pigs and tapirs. The rhinoceros and the elephant, though found on land since Africa became drier, bear traces of a more watery past and seize every opportunity of wallowing in mud or water.It has been suggested that humans became hairless "to prevent overheating in the savannah". But no other mammal has ever resorted to this strategy. A covering of hair acts as a defense against the heat of the sun: that is why even the desert- dwelling camel retains its fur. Another version is "to facilitate sweat-cooling". But again many species resort to sweat-cooling quite effectively without needing to lose their hair.

Well the validity of the story is definitely unknown so it should be vetted and important researchers in that field of study called in. This is the evidence that could make a difference and some person keeping it as pet is disturbing in many ways. There are some moral and ethical issues to consider. Keeping any species against their will would be a concern. Should proof and containment of the species weigh against the personal freedom of the animal? If a Yeti what are the circumstances for taking it? Can you image how the yeti family feels? We dont have any background or lead-up, and not to forget hoaxing possibility? As it stands now its def not definitive and likely fake.

edit: The possibility of the species being captured or held indefinitely should be a topic of discussion for our society.

It would be interesting to see if anyone knows of a primate with a face like that ?

Does anyone know if Aerosmith has toured out that way, because I wouldn't rule out it being one of Steven Tylers' love children !

Pretty intriguing. While I really want to believe this might be some exotic species of hominid like a "Bigfoot", It does seem quite monkey-ish as opposed to ape-ish. I am not sold on the hind leg walking - it looks a little unnatural. More like an animal that would prefer to use it's arms more for mobility, but perhaps raised with humans and "learned" to move about upright.

As for the hair, could be some outfit, or a "long hair" mutation. The face is very monkey; I did some google searching for "hairless faced monkey from asia" and got quite a few hits that looks rather similar in the face.

Here's a spider monkey walking upright -- perhaps better than the creature in the OP even -- learned it from watching humans ...

The creature's locomotion indicates a pelvis more like ours than other apes as well. Apes have to swing their legs and whole pelvis because they cannot walk with their legs parallel. Monkeys hold their spine differently when they walk upright.

I'm checking in with Loren Coleman for his opinion and will report back if he has anything to say.

Fun little riddle.

It certainly should be thoroughly researched. I would tend to comfortably posit that "IF" it were a Sasquatch/Alma/Bigfoot it's parents/tribe may have chosen to abandon it or were themselves unable to care for it due to their own situation...maybe they were killed or were forced to run away? Almost all primate females carry their young with them at all times. They don't "hide" them like cats/wolves/birds and go hunting.

There is just NO WAY any human is going to kidnap a Sasquatch baby... easily. If anecdotal accounts are true even females can pick up a truck and toss it several yards and can smell us miles away. I doubt a human could kidnap a chimpanzee baby without being torn to shreds...or hurting the mother. Perhaps these people found the infant and chose to foster it?

At any rate all we can do is speculate but at the very least we have an unusual creature very much out of place in Azerbaijan. It could just be a monkey in a fur coat someone bought. There is trade with Russia, China, and the Middle East there. anything is possible.

I'm going to say fake.
