avatar_58, I couldn't tell you how many times I've done the same thing! Just this morning I was looking up the Florida Skunk Ape - a Sasquatch, Yeti sort of animal - but apparently there have been some credible pictures of one of them.
Wiki entry and the pics
Skunk ape. I can recall my roommate (now dead) talking about seeing one on his mother's tropical nursery site, on the far edge of Sarasota, near Myakka. Her property borders woods on two sides. In 2001, about six months after he said he saw one, I read that it is in this same area that these photos were taken. Maybe he really DID see one, though I doubted it at the time - you know how you'd doubt that anyone really saw Bigfoot.
