Chinanews, Wuhan, Nov. 27 – Scientists have sent their report about on-site investigation1 to the possible discovery of the wildmen in Shennongjia to the Rare and Exotic Animals Investigation Committee under the China Association for Scientific Expedition. Animal experts will make a comprehensive assessment2 to the report. The footprints taken on site will soon be sent to the committee as a scientific evidence, experts from the Hubei Shennongjia Wildmen Expedition Team told reporters from Changjiang Times on Monday.

 

Soon after they finished the expedition to Shennongjia, the three scientists wrote out their report immediately. At present, they has handed their report to the Rare and Exotic Animals Investigation Committee, waiting for zoologists3 to make a comprehensive assessment to it. The assessment will take some time to finish, said Xu Xiaoguang, a member at the Rare and Exotic Animals Investigation Committee.

 

What witnesses had described accorded with the footprints that scientists discovered on site. The unknown footprints found nearby and the treading traces left had a causual relation, said experts at the expedition team, who concluded that some apelike animals, which were able to stand upright, were discovered.

 

During the expedition, the scientists made two copies of the footprints with wet limestone4 discovered on site. They used GPS devices to pinpoint5 the location where they had found these footprints and the entire process was recorded by a vedio camara. All things that might serve as a possible evidence for the discovery had also been photographed. The footprints got on site will soon be sent to the committee.

 

In writing their report, scientists have always used the word “man-like creatures” to describe the mysterious animal, while the public are more familiar with the word “wildmen”. Since scientists do not catch any living creatures on site, nor do they be able to make a complete specimen6 about the animal, some scientists use the term “exotic animal” to describe the unseen creatures.

 

The expedition was organized by the Rare and Exotic Animals Investigation Committee under the China Association for Scientific Expedition. In August, this year, some 46 scientists in Hubei province made proposals urging the state to resume the research about wildmen.
