The "Patty" Recreation by Bill Munns

Editor’s Note: Nadia Moore has a degree in Zoology from U.C. Davis and currently works in Biotechnology. She has been a lifelong Bigfoot enthusiast, with her first personal experiences taking place in the Trinity Mountains of Northern California where she lived on a remote ranch during high school. She also a contributor to the After Hours show with Team Tazer.

We hope to have the presentation made by Bill Munns at Discovery Day V available for viewing in one form or another soon, ideally as part of a DVD including the whole conference. For those of you who don't know Bill's work, he studied Film and Theater Arts (16mm and some 35mm, with cameras, editing, sound, and equipment) at Los Angeles Valley College, studied Makeup Artistry with Mike Westmore, and began a career as a makeup artist at Universal Studios in 1969. He has an extensive Hollywood Resume including freelance Prosthetic Makeup work for the Blackenstein monster in the movie “Blackenstein” 1970.

Bills in depth research analyzing the Patterson Gimlin Film can be reviewed here at The Munns Report, as well as a list of his P&G Film accomplishments.

These pictures are from Bill's Discovery Day V presentation, as he discussed in great detail his recent work, made possible by a Grant arranged by Dr. Meldrum, in recreating the anatomy of "Patty" using live models for in depth comparisons between her movement and various natural versions of the human form, both male and female, clothed and sans clothing. He also made several chest panels using various synthetic materials available in 1967, in order to try and recreate a costume which would duplicate the appearance of Patty and her movement. The third branch of this project was the recreation of the "costume" described by Bob Heironimus in his claim that he was hired by Roger Patterson to be the object of Roger's film. Not only has Bob been unable to describe the actual location that the film was made, let alone how to get there, but Bill's work has now proven once and for all that the "costume" as described by Heironimus is structurally, anatomically, and logistically incapable of portraying what is in the famous 1967 Film.

(Note by Dale D. The recreated mask shown in Nadia's photograph at top does NOT adequately match the head of "Patty" as shown in the film. The relative size of the braincase is drastically larger than what the film shows, probably twice that size)

Whatever this is, it's not a bear! YouTuber Mark Anders did not describe how or where this photograph was taken, but his conversation about it is pretty interesting. The creature in this photograph appears to be bipedal, and it seems to have a coned head, but without much detail about the location, it's just another inconclusive photograph.

Tim Wells, while bow hunting with his partner filmed a tall dark figure tree peeking from behind a tree. The two hunters tried to get a better look, but the two seconds they filmed was all they needed to be convinced that it was not a bear. Check out the video below:

UPDATE: Bigfoot Evidence on Syke's Bear Claim

Bigfootology Knows The Truth Behind The "Yeti" Study By Dr. Bryan Sykes

Friday, October 18, 2013
http://bigfootevidence.blogspot.com/2013/10/bigfootology-knows-truth-behind-theyeti.html

It looks like the news media has gotten it wrong once again. The Bigfoot community and Dr. Bryan Sykes is quite happy about the fact that there is an undiscovered polar bear in the Himalayas. One thing Sykes does not want to say is that there is no such thing as the "Yeti". In a recent interview with BBC News, Sykes is careful not to discredit any progress that has been made in regards to Bigfoot and the Yeti study. In a statement from the Bigfootology organization, the people Sykes has been working with in North America, there are important things Sykes hasn't revealed yet and there's still much more learn. The documentary that's airing this weekend will only helps the cause. President of Bigfootology Rhetmann Mullis has tried his best to stay silent, but the latest undiscovered yeti/bear news has finally compelled him to speak out without revealing too much about what he knows:Read It Here

Bigfoot Researcher Sues YouTube User Over False Copyright Claim - The Aftermath

Note-the caption shown is part of the disputed claim.
The following blog article discusses the circumstances of the claim.

Editor’s Note: This is a guest post by Matt K., a Sasquatch enthusiast. Visit his blog, Bigfoot Crossroads.http://bigfootcrossroads.blogspot.com/2013/08/bigfoot-in-courtroom.html

Bigfoot in the Courtroom

I apologize in advance for the length of this article. My intentions are to put the truth out there. I realize this will anger certain individuals, but these are my honest opinions and views on the subject. The recent lawsuits in the bigfoot community have struck a cord with me. My line of work involves me in copyrights on nearly a daily basis. I'm sure some will think this is just another short-lived blemish and everyone should get back to bigfooting. Those individuals are partially correct, however these lawsuits, one in particular, are very serious and should impact everyone. Possibly even the future of the field of research. In a field where evidence should be shared freely to reach the common goal of the TRUTH, we now must face the facts that anyone at anytime could become the victim of a fraudulent lawsuit over the sharing of that information, or the expression of our opinions...

Matt's logo incorporates another obvious Neanderthaloid, presumably an Eastern Bigfoot. Just as an additional point of interest, this might even represent what the creature in the above photograph would look like turned around:

 The vertical length of the face probably needs to be adjusted but otherwise it fits in well enough with what we already have on file.

Watch this: The Jersey Devil On Video - 1st Footage of It Ever Caught [Free Documentary]

The Jersey Devil has been seen in southern New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania in the Pine Barrens or Pinelands for over 300 years, yet it has never been caught on video, filmed, or even photographed -- until this paranormal team caught the first footage of the Jersey Devil. It looks like the same creature people have been claiming to see since the 1700s. Watch below[above]:
Here is the image from the video:

www.phantomsandmonsters.com 

[This has subsequently shown to be several years old and a thermal image of a deer]

Now as to what people have been seeing for the past 200 years is fairly easy:
 its a sort of a crane
 I think so now and I said that twenty years ago at the SITU headquarters in New Jersey after going over the creature's then-available dossier..

 

 BUT there is the more annoying part about witnesses seeing a long-snouted bat-winged creature that more recently is often called a "Pterodactyl." Oddly enough, several people have compared it to the African hammer-headed bat that was involved in Ivan Sanderson's giant bat sighting in Africa back in the 1930s.

"I think one of our very own members (Tell No One or Intrepid, I think?) has it right, with the Jersey Devil being a misidentified Hammerhead Bat. Compare the pic to the traditional drawing...(especially the head)..[Below-DD]." [Evidently an episode of Monster Quest also had this identification]
http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread542457/pg9

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hammer-headed_bat

-On the other hand the False Vampire bat also has a similar elongated snout to the hammer-headed bat and being a New World bat it would be less out of place than the African bat would be. So that is my candidate for the "Pterodactyl" sightings in the area.

As noted on other occasions, The "Devil's hoof-marks" (in the snow) is a separate matter and has nothing to do with any Jersey Devil sightings otherwise. The only connection is that there was once an outbreak of "Hoof-marks" in New Jersey. These seem to actually have a mundane explanation.

Will the Real Minnesota Iceman Please Stand Up

Bigfoot Evidence put out this news item this morning:

http://bigfootevidence.blogspot.com/2013/06/will-real-minnesota-iceman-please-stand.html

 

This is not "The original item" as described by Sanderson and Heuvelmans. It is a very, very good copy of it. I think we can readily recognize this as "THE REPLACEMENT MODEL" from the photographs of the face alone.
The originating article concludes with the following information:

http://bigfootcrossroads.blogspot.com/2013/06/will-real-minnesota-iceman-please-stand.html
...
SW:  The Big Foot Creature Exhibit, that sounds very interesting, when did you have the show out, does someone have the show out today and what was it?

 

 RW:  It was in the 70’s that I first started showing the Creature. I believe the last year I had it out was 84. I never saw the show after I sold to Rick Owens. I do know it went to California.  

 

Johnny Chambers, who did the make-up for “Planet of the Apes” built the creature. And Jerry ‘Tyron’ Malone designed the show. Jerry was known for his frozen whale exhibit and later his custom racing semi tractors. The creature was shown in a big case with a glass top. I used a chemical on the underside of the glass that made it look frosted. Looked like the creature was frozen.  I also had another creature that a friend and I built out of latex. That’s another story. 

 

But the best creature ever shown was Frank Hansen’s. He brought his exhibit out in 1967. I met him at his first fair. His creature was encased in ice and shown in a custom-built freezer.  It is quite a story; people thought the creature was real. Many people still believe it was real. I had the chance to go up and visit Frank shortly before his death. I even had the opportunity to purchase the creature and the exhibit…

 

”Preserved Forever in a Coffin of Ice!”

 

You know, I should have bought it. 

Another interesting aspect of what Rick West claims is that John Chambers, famous makeup artist from "Planet of the Apes", made the creature for West's Bigfoot exhibit. Which Rick started showing in the 70's, and could have very easily been under construction in the late 60's. Could this sideshow Bigfoot be responsible for creating the rumor that John Chambers made the costume for Patty in the Patterson-Gimlin film? Think for a moment how rumors change as they get passed along. Perhaps Chambers did create a Bigfoot creature, and people were just confused as to which one he was responsible for. Like getting to the center of a Tootsie Pop, the world may never know.

 

SO: we now know definitely, there was not one Iceman model but several competing versions, and in this case Hansen's display is clearly distinguished as something different and "Better than the rest". And Hansen's original display was not only different from the rest, it is different from the currently "Rescued" replacement model. All the same I think the attribution of ANY Bigfoot materials to John Chambers is only a popular legend.

8 Foot Bigfoot Like Creature Caught on Trailcam in Mossyrock, WA

8 Foot Bigfoot Like Creature Caught on Trailcam in Mossyrock, WA

Editors Notes - I was contacted by a listener of my radio show Bigfoot Tonight show who knew a man from Mossyrock, Washington who had captured an image on his trailcam after hearing loud screams that they couldn’t identify. He setup a game camera in hopes of capturing an image of whatever was creating these amazing screams. So far all I know is the backstory which came with the image. I’m currently trying to get the actual owner of the property to come on the radio show to discuss the image and the happenings on his property. I have included the original picture and another with contrast enhanced. Still images are not very good evidence these days but hopefully more information can be secured to back up this image.

Original Email

A friend showed up to my house to share a photo his friend sent him earlier today. This picture was taken via trail cam, on his friends property in Mossyrock, WA.
Because of the angle of the camera, he estimates it to be at least 7-8 feet tall. This  is a camera phone picture of a printed out copy, these are just your average country boys, so they don’t know how to send the picture from their computer to their phone.
it is the most compelling image I’ve seen yet, and my source isn’t some kid or some guy, he’s your average Joe, a construction worker. He’s got better things to do than drive half an hour to my mom’s house to show us a fake picture of bigfoot. (he drove cause he doesnt know how to send pictures)

The backstory on the trail cam, is the guy who showed me had been down at his friends house in mossyrock, out in the backwoods of his property, DEEP in the woods, and they had heard a screaming/howling noise that they could not say was a cougar or coyote, bear, etc.. They wanted to figure out what it was. So they set up motion sensitive trail cameras to capture it. And upon checking them this morning, this is what he found.
It’s an amazing photo, it makes every other image I’ve seen look laughable in comparison. I get really pissed when people try to argue it’s authenticity.. These guys didnt even know how to send the picture from their computer to their phone, they dont know what photoshop is.

This was followed by a posting on Bigfoot Evidence this morning:

Calm Down People: This Isn't a Real Bigfoot!

Wednesday, June 19, 2013

Our friend Chuck Prahl received a photograph yesterday from a listen who claimed to have captured an 8 ft tall Bigfoot on trail camera. The man from Mossyrock, WA swears it's real. Well -- We will just tell you right now that it's not real. It's a cropped image of a Bigfoot creature from a hearing aid advertisement. ...

[So it's only another hoax an not a very clever one. Texasbeliever  above probably had the best reason for thinking something was not right with this scenario.- DD.]

200 Bigfoot Prints Terrifies Malaysian Village, Sets New Record For Foot Prints

Tuesday, June 18, 2013

The Star/Asia News Network

Remember those 120 sequential Bigfoot prints found near Eugene, Oregon? Well. That's nothing compared to what the Malaysians discovered near the village of Kampung Kepis Baru Tuesday morning. Apparently, the villagers are now afraid to go outside and scared to death of the unknown bipedal creature that made the prints.  READ MORE

[Although these tracks are called "Bigfoot-Like", they seem to be more of the Wildman category that Sanderson calls "Malayan Hairy Primitives" and Heuvelmans calls "B'lian" on his checklist. The most important information on these as recorded by Sandeson in Abominable Snowmen, Legend Come to Life is as follows: 

[p229]Yet, these ultra-primitive humans or sub-humans, or other even more lowly forms of Hominids, do not seem to be the only conundrums in this small but extremely esoteric area. Maybe they are the "Stinking Ones": maybe they are something else. Nevertheless, the former turned up in a very definite manner in 1953, and so concretely so, and so many times in rapid succession, that not only the benighted natives, but the European overseers, the local militia, the museum authorities, and even the "Government" itself became apprised of the matter and lent a hand. This is really a rather unusual turnout in ABSMery. It now transpires that just the same sort of thing had been going on throughout peninsular Malaya a few miles back from the few main roads since way back. These incidents had been either not reported, reported but not listened to, disbelieved, ridiculed, or actually suppressed, and, perhaps, latterly because of Communist guerrilla activities. However, this one got out—and, as the colloquialism goes, "but good." Looking over what published accounts of this incident there are, a really extraordinary number of quite baffling things come to light. I would say that this too is a classic example of what happens when a good case of ABSMery —or any other matter that is not at present accepted—occurs. But, first let me give the facts, as reported, chronologically.

It appears that on Christmas Day, 1953, a young Chinese girl by the name of Wong Yee Moi was engaged tapping rubber trees on an estate run by a Scot named Mr. G. M. Browne, in the Reserve that is called variously the Trolak, Trollak, or Trolek, in south Perak State, northern Malaya. According to her account, she felt a hand placed lightly on her shoulder and, turning around, was confronted by a most revolting female. This poor character wore, according to Moi, only an abbreviated loincloth of bark, was covered with hair, had a white (i.e. Caucasoid-type) skin, long black head-hair and a mustache; and she stank as if "of an animal." Half hysterical, Moi fled for the compound, but not before spotting two somewhat similar types which she said were males [no loincloths?] standing in the shade of some trees by a nearby river. These, she said, had mustaches hanging down to their waists. Up till this point, the account is fairly rational, even including Moi's addendum to the effect that the female grinned and showed long nasty fangs in what she (Moi) seems to have considered, despite her panic, to have been a friendly gesture. After this report, everybody became slightly insane.
Analyzing all the published reports that I can lay my hands on, it seems that this Mr. Browne immediately called up Security Forces' local headquarters—there being a continuing Communist emergency in the whole area—and, in response, a posse of the Malayan Security Guard was dispatched immediately under the leadership of one Corporal Talib, who seems to have been an extremely intelligent and also sensible man. He immediately deployed his forces and made search of the estate, in due course coming to the river mentioned by Moi and spotting three just such hairy types on its banks. However, upon bringing his platoon's arms to the ready, said creatures dived into the river, swam under water, emerged on the far bank, and forthwith vanished into the jungle. Subsequent to this, the only concrete facts in the case are that a Hindu Indian worker, named Appaisamy, on the same estate, the next day, also while squatting to shave the bark to bring on a flow of rubber latex, was suddenly encircled by a pair of hairy arms. He became completely panic-stricken; broke loose; headed for the compound, but fell down in a dead faint on the way. As he revived, the same trio were nearby and laughing at his discomfiture. He admitted this. That same day, a patrol of Corporal Talib's Guard again spotted the trio on the same riverbank.
That is all we have, apart from a few further anatomical details
p. 231
of the creatures given in retrospect by the various witnesses. Then, however, the experts, and other nonpresent commentators got into the act. And they provided the international wire services with some pretty interesting material. All kinds of previously unheard-of official departments came to light such as that of "The Aborigines" at Kuala Lumpur; the "Federation's Department of Museums and Aboriginal Research" and even "Radio Malaya" in the person of its Assistant Director, one Mr. Tony Beamish. These people made various suggestions. They ridiculed an idea put forward some years before, when an almost exactly similar incident had occurred, that the creatures seen were AWOL Japanese soldiers, tired of the war, and who had managed to survive life in the jungle; though they did dredge up the old one about having "white skins because they had lived in the dim light of the jungles so long." [This is, of course, rubbish; though it is true that a white man will get a lot whiter in such an environment.] But, some people came up with some really startling ideas.
Most prevalent were hints that these things could be, or might have been "primitive humans trying to get away from British aerial bombing, or flooding of their jungle abodes"; or again, "that they might be descendants of a race of hairy aborigines who, according to old legends, once roamed the forests of northern Malaya." What I would like to ask is, what had the Department of Aboriginal Affairs been up to prior to this astonishing suggestion, and why had they not turned up some evidence [other than that of Messrs. Skeat and Blagden] of the necessity for protecting them? Also, as that excellent radio person—Tony Beamish—is alleged to have said, this could be "one of the most valuable anthropological discoveries for years." (Actually, it would have been the greatest of all times.) It is really rather remarkable that nothing was finally done about it. Experts of the same "Department of Museums, etc." did state that they were trying to organize an expedition and they made a statement. Statements are always good; and they are often good for a laugh. This one was a near classic. It stated:
1. The creatures apparently had seen rifles because they
p. 232
fled when a security force corporal raised his rifle. Some of the "things" jumped in the river and swam away. Another ran into the jungle.
2. Their light skin probably indicates they have lived for years in the dark, overgrown Malayan jungles where sunlight rarely penetrates.
3. They recognized a crop of tapioca on one estate as food, pulling up roots and munching.
4. They spoke a language that was clearly not Chinese or Malayan, but more of a series of guttural grunts.
And this, mind you, from persons who were not only scientists and experts but officials. We stand amazed; but we make certain notes and reservations.
The number of ABSMs that jumped into the river has now changed from "all" to some; they are now alleged to have pulled tapioca roots and eaten them;  * they had a language. I cannot find any of these facts in the original reports of the Christmas, 1953 case but they do indeed appear in earlier cases, and in other parts of Malaya. In fact, it appears quite obvious from these latter that there had been quite a lot more information on this unpleasant subject in the files of the Department of Museums, etc., long before this time.
The most outstanding aspect of this case is perhaps the alleged "stink" of the creatures, as recorded by all witnesses who were near enough to them, and included in similar statements that emerged later about others, reported to have raided crops in different parts of Malaya. This single fact is exactly in accord with the age-old statements of the locals about such creatures. It is also in accord with some of the statements of the Amerinds about their large ABSMs in Canada and the northwestern United States. It accords, too, with remarks passed about them, almost casually, by Kurds, Sinkiangese, Mongolians, and others. Apart from this, the fangs, hairiness of body, but ultra-long-hairedness of face and head, the suggestion of primitive clothing, and the general "come-hitherness" of these creatures speaks a great deal.

And then in Sanderson's Classification:

I. SUB-HUMANS (East Eurasian and Oriental). Of about standard man size; hairy or partially hairy; head-hair differentiated from body hair; occasional use of very primitive tools such as sticks, bark cloth, clubs, hand stones; wary but not unfriendly; strong odor; some form of vocal communication but no true speech; good rock-climbers and swimmers; crepuscular and diurnal, possibly nocturnal also; may "trade."

(1) Proto-Malayans, as appeared on rubber estates 1953. [B'lian]

(2) Yunnan Hairy Primitives, as reported by Chinese.[Mao-Ren and Ye-ren]

p. 357

(3) Ksy-Giiks, of Central Eurasia; possibly a Neanderthaler.

(4) The Almas, of eastern Eurasia; a small kind of (3).

This is a local representation of the general type:

The ones seen in 1953 seem to have had longer head hair and shorter body hair.

Bigfoot or Swamp Monster?

 

Is there a Bigfoot in this photograph? According to Bigfoot researcher Leroy Blevins, there's definitely something in the swamp -- and it's spear fishing. Blevins has posted a series of images taken from Google Earth of a swamp in Louisiana showing what appears to be a dark figure near the bottom edge of the photograph. He writes:

"As I was looking over images on google earth I came up on this image here taken in Louisiana. This image shows bird in the swamp area however as I looked over this image something caught my eye. There is this creature sitting on a down tree with a stick in it's hands just sitting there like it was spear fishing."

 

On the page, this last photo was next to the Melissa Hovis (sponsored) photo of the back of a Bigfoot, and I think the two of them are readily comparable: 

And of course if this kind of Bigfoot spearfishes using sticks, it is a cultural animal using tools, presumably a man: this has also been alleged elsewhere and these Bigfoots have regularly been reported as using sticks and stones as tools, carrying them around with them, or arranging them as markers I the woods in patterns that are meaningful to them. All of which is well above the simply animalistic level of existence.

Bigfoot Evidence-A Clear Photo of Bigfoot's Face?

This was a photograph that was in circulation a couple of years ago and has recently resurfaced in Bigfoot discussion groups on Facebook. This copy was from Bigfoot Evidence HERE

This is clearly a human being in a mask. Why is it a human being in a mask? because there is a clear, full and high braincase that goes up vertically from the face. The eyes are about halfway down the face from the top of the head. It has the typical proportions of a modern human head and face, which is the exact opposite of what you will find in other photos and films, such as the Patterson Sasquatch film. Almost none of the witness' sketches ever show a high full cranium such as this has: in almost all of them the crown of the head is much lower.

Watch: Multiple Bigfoot Witnesses Record Bigfoot Chatter

http://bigfootevidence.blogspot.com/2013/06/watch-multiple-bigfoot-witnesses-record.html

 

Are there apes in North America? According to these witnesses, an ape is exactly what they heard the other day while camping. Here's how they explained it:

Bigfoot experiences are on the rise. Four that I know of in the last week. Maybe the Bigfoots are becoming more active, maybe more people are spending time outside. Last week, May 22,2013, my good friend Rene, her neice Ashlee and neighbor Korey came up to camp out in my yard. Before I arrived home, they went for a walk up the trail. They had quite an experience. They heard strange owl like calls and chatter. Some of this was recorded on a cell phone. Later, when I arrived home, we all heard a single whoop from across the river. After dark, we all went back up the trail. Although we heard nothing more, Gabby was very agitated for most of the night.

[I have several recordings on discs of Alleged Bigfoot vocalizations from the Eastern USA, mostly from the mountainous regions, and I can vouch for the fact that many of the vocalizations sound exactly like the sounds you hear coming from a chimpanzee. -DD]

Bigfoot Evidence-Anecdotal Evidence and Scientific Evidence

Bigfoot Evidence Editor’s Note: Dr. Matthew A. Johnson is one of the most credible people in the Bigfoot world. In July 1, 2000, Dr. Johnson had a "Class A" Bigfoot encounter with his family while hiking near the Oregon Caves. After his life changing sighting, he went to the public and described one of the most intense encounters ever. You can join him on Facebook at Team Squatchin USA.

Bigfoot Evidence: ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE & THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD

While in the Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) program at George Fox University, I had a “Statistics and Research” professor, Dr McBride, who made the following statement in class: “Good research proves to be true that which everyone already knew to be true. In other words, good research springs forth from anecdotal evidence. Never dismiss anecdotal evidence as being irrelevant data. If you do, you remove the very foundation of the Scientific Method – Human observation and the curiosity to learn more about what has been observed.” Very wise words for all scientists to ponder.

Algonquin Park Ape on Bizzare Zoology

 

A recent posting by Jay Cooney at Bizzare Zoology compared the screen capture of an Algonquin Park drive-by video purporting to show a kind of ape. Jay said it was a Bigfoot and that he thought the head matched the skull of a Paranthropus (Robust Australopithecine) I disagrred and said it was something more apelike (If it is indeed a live creature and not a mock-up of some sort)

 

Here is the panoramic view of the shot where the apelike figure appears, and below a cropping of it

 

My comment was that the image was much too blurry to be certain of anything, and we needed a face-on view to be comparable whereas we would need a profile shot of establish if it was a Paranthropus or not. A Paranthropus has a more vertical profile where a common ape has a protruding muzzle and prominent canines. And as a counter-proposal, I did the comparison with an ordinary ape, an orangutan, the lower one with a direct superimposition of the skull on the photo (The skull is still not quite at the proper size and it is a mite too large for the direct comparson)

 

Here is a reconstruction of a Miocene Sivapithecine together with a reconstruction

 of the fossil skull (which was partial) Below is the Canadian "ape face" again 

                 

Although it is difficult to make out I think I the lower face definitely has

 a more elongated muzzle than a Paranthropus would have. 

 

Jay also suggested that it was the samne as the Western Sasquatch

 such as is shown in the Patterson-Gimlin film   

 

A direct comparison shows that this Wood Ape from Canada has a smaller head

more pinched-in shoulders and much longer arms than 'Patty' has;

 

While by the same token, Patty is  bigger and more heavily built than the Paranthropus, but once again a smaller head and longer arms, and is intermediate to the regular ape proportions in that.

 

In comparison to the Paranthropus , the Algonquin Park Wood Ape shows these

 same features in an even more exaggerated sense. Head much smaller and arms longer still.

 

And so I did a series of comparisons to more mundane apes.

First a chimpanzee:

 

Then a comparison to a gorilla:

 (The head seems closest here)

 

And then to the orangutan.

All in all I think the orangutan wins out because the overall

 appearance is most similar, and especially the limb proportions are most similar.

Here is the source, from the Time-Life Nature Library book Evolution (the appendix)
