"Some say that this is Bigfoot, others that it is a big monkey," the Minister of Labor and Social Development of the republic told the media. According to him, he had never seen such a thing. “The animal looks like a gorilla about two meters tall, dark in color, presumably a female, very large. Usually a gorilla rests on its front arms, and this one stands upright, like a man. It growls and makes incomprehensible sounds, ”the minister said. The caught creature was brought to the zoo. The official said that the animal is very scared, eats mainly meat and vegetation.
