I hesitate to share the attached video file due to the odd nature of the events it documents. You can judge for yourself.
As for me, well, all I can say is spring is a strange time for us here on Florida's last frontier.
There was that oil strike a few years ago, a meteor strike about this time two years ago, and who can forget the strange artifacts that turned up when I dug a little aquaculture pond?
Weird.
Spring in Florida is just weird.

Happy April Fools Day to you, too, Floridacracker!
I've been waiting all day - I just knew something strange would happen at your place. I think I've seen one of those - but never sober LOL
Anon,
Is it April already? I feel somewhat akin to a fool. Must change the calendar.
SandMomma,
You have seen a drunk skunk ape?
You are too funny. I thought you had forgotten what day it was. I'm glad I stopped back here tonight. Thanks for the giggles.
You did it again! Surpassed yourself that is! rofl
You are funny.
Ha ha. We thought we had a Skunk Ape once too. http://treeringcircus.blogspot.com/2009/12/mystery-track.html
Turns out we were mistaken, but I was visualizing that it looked just like yours.
Not showing this to my boy without explanation - he'll never go in the woods again!
Good one!
lol!! I waited all day yesterday also and finally gave up about 9:00 last night. good laugh for this morning though!! :D
Hi FC,
Darn those skunk apes. They hate being filmed. Be glad you got what
you did.
They are cute though. In a stinky, matted, hairy sort of way.
P
Around here we call that Big Foot or Sasquatch. I didn't know you had such creatures at Pure Florida. You just never know what's going to show up at your place on April 1st. Pretty spooky cool stuff!
Man, you have been hanging out with middle school kids WAAAAy too long!
OK nerd! Especially in your Star Wars T-shirt. You have entirely too much time on your hands. Come clean my house if you need something to do!
Spring at PF is just weird. I'd forgotten all about April Fools until Rich said this morning that he hadn't heard any reference to it or pranks. And then I thought, April Fools? The Cracker!
HA! That'll teach me to go to bed early. Shoulda known you'd come up with something before midnight. Good thing that's not smell-a-vision!
My word today is nosesses. *heheheh*
Jean,
We do giggles here!:)
3Collie,
Whew, it was down to the line this year!
Lisa,
Thanks, usually people end that sentence with "odd", so I appreciate it!
NicoMom,
You just never know where they will turn up.
Sayre,
Just tell him to run like hell anytime he here's a rustling in the bushes.
Annie,
Fow a while, I was afraid I would have to drive to your time zone just to make the deadline!
Patio,
It's the deodorant companies and their marketing that make us think the skunk ape stinks. He's just natural.
Robin,
Apparently, like coyotes, the big foot clan are quite nomadic and adaptive.
Caroline,
I have no way to refute that accusation, it is waaaaay too true. LOL!
Cindy,
Ok, but I don't do windows.
Vicki,
Hey girl, well, yes it is quite odd here... most days, but April does seem to be exponentially odder.
I am glad you thought of me when you thought of fool's day!
LOL!
Sophie,
I am working on smellovision for my food posts.
Glad you liked the skunkie.
totally shared all your April Fool's posts with my students Friday...they now know how susceptible to trickery I can be...
Too funny! We always look forward to April 1st!
My how Bear has grown!
LOL...that was great!!!
Whew! Thank you for the comments.
Maybe next April 1 will be nice and normal.
Oh, oh, oh. Checking in late on my rebuilt laptop. I have missed PF so! Odd, but I've referred to you as a Skunk Ape on more than one occasion...rarely spotted outside the palmetto scrubland...a bit reclusive and mysterious.
That thing has very loose skin, almost looks like it's not getting enough to eat.
Favorite parts: The sonorous and convincing breathing, and the little ant that goes careening over the leaves in the final shot. A cryptozoological art film. Bravo!
Julie,
I have to go back and look for the ant!
Palmetto scrub is notoriously short of nutrients, hence the skinny factor on this apparent skunk ape.
