lve recently been looking into reports of the Batatut or Rock Apes of Vietnam. Until now these hominoid cryptids had escaped my attention. Most reports paint the picture of a medium size(~5ft) bipedal ape that lives in the dense forests in groups. Many reports also indicate that these groups are often led by an agressive alpha male who's hair turns to a dark red-black. Note the difference between these Batatu types with other reported hominoid cryptids of the greater Indo-asian region like the Ebu Gogo/Orang Pendek types(diminutive) in both stature AND solitary/group behaviour.

I wonder the difference/similarity in species type between the Alma of central Asia, the Yeti of the Himlayan region, the Batatut of Vietnam/Laos/Cambodia and the Yowie.

My Dad was in the Vietnam war. Ill ave to ask if he ever heard or saw anything...
