Swamp Ape! Phil Fraering of News from the Fridge alerted me to news of a "mystery ape". He has commentary and more links. The CNN report states:

[...]the animal has feet that are about two inches bigger than the average gorilla and is more flat-faced than other apes. Its behavior also sets it apart from other apes, researchers say.

The mystery ape often sleeps in big ground nests. Chimpanzees, for example, usually nest in trees to stay away from predators. And the mystery apes hoot when the moon rises and sets, something chimps don't do[...]

Frankly, I'm a bit dubious. Sounds to me like it's just some of my relatives on an African vacation.
