Indeed, in a 1936 article, American geologist James Durlacher shared a photo of a dead spider monkey (killed in the same region as de Loys ape was) sat erect (and holding an egg in one hand).

The ‘conventional’ story (the one told by de Loys, most famously in the Illustrated London News of June 15th 1929) on what happened during the expedition is a sad, desperate tale. De Loys and his team did not have a good time in the jungle...

Let’s look at another famous ‘mystery animal’ image. This time the 'de Loys ape' photo of 1920(ish), taken in the Catatumbo River basin of #Venezuela. You surely know the photo already. But do you know its complicated backstory? Join me as we explore it in this loooong thread…

With an impressive 77 comments, things are winding down at the #TetZoo article on pseudoscientist 'I see things no-one else can' David Peters. Please share the article to alert students, educators & researchers; it's easy to be duped by Peters' writings https://t.co/WRYd2JT014

My 2012 article on the problem caused by David Peters isn't easy to find due to corruption of the SciAm site, so I've been compelled to produce a totally new version. So here's this, new at #TetZoo ... https://t.co/WRYd2JT014 #fossils #evolution #PetersProblem

Hello new followers, my name's Darren. I write books about #dinosaurs and other animals (recent books include Dinosaurs: How They Lived & Evolved, Hunting Monsters, Evolution in Minutes). I work in TV-land. I also publish technical research on dinosaurs, #pterosaurs and more.

It’s a remarkable colour photo, surely one of the best ever taken of #Nessie! As a kid, it was one of my favourite Nessie images, and here’s my own drawing of it. I should add that part of this is explored in my 2017 book Hunting Monsters. Anyway… #cryptozoology #LochNessMonster

One of these 9 types was the YELLOW BELLY, a long-tailed, tadpole-like sea monster of tropical seas. I wonder if Heuvelmans invented this category BECAUSE of the Le Serrec monster. Does this work out in terms of timing? [drawing by D. Naish].

I was also planning to talk a bit about #SpecZoo and had these images ready...

The new #TetZoo article on #shrews currently has a phenomenal 47 comments -- hero shrews, causes of death in shrews, the shrew invasion of S America and more have all been the cause of discussion ... https://t.co/mSfqfsjVbd #mammals #mammalogy #evolution #zoology
