The article title judges the affair to be a hoax, but this is not demonstrated in the text. That a writer published in Skeptical Enquirer is of the opinion that it is a hoax is unsurprising, but without good evidence, we should not take his opinion as fact. Apparently the original newspaper article called the supposed creature a gorilla, but we do not know if the original writer was enough familiar with gorillas to make an accurate identification. The late 1800s was certainly an age of common newspaper hoaxes, but the article title should be NPOV. Plazak (talk) 19:49, 17 November 2011 (UTC)Reply
