Gregory ForthCanadian cultural anthropologist, Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, and author of "Between Ape and Human"
Forth recounts that two British hikers independently contacted him after seeing a bipedal creature on a Flores mountain in March 2019.
“the encounter was in 2019, in March. And, you know, they hadn't followed this. They hadn't thought about it”

Forth argues that Flores lacks native apes and monkeys, making misidentification less likely than in Sumatra, since its only macaque was introduced by humans.
“Flores has only one species of monkey and no apes. And the monkey, a macaque, a long-tailed macaque, was introduced by humans thousands”
