Sweet Nothings

Doughnuts Could Be Creature Comforts

Whether the mystery critter roaming northern Florida is an orangutan, a "baby Bigfoot" or something else, wildlife officials think it might have a bit of Homer Simpson in it. After a bear hunter said an animal that could be an orangutan stole jelly doughnuts from him, a wildlife investigator has tried to use sweet treats to lure the creature into the open in Baker County. There have been several sightings of what witnesses have described as a "big orange ball of fur," though officials have yet to confirm it's an orangutan. Fish and wildlife investigator Ken Holmes laid doughnuts at the base of a tree in hopes of catching the animal, but it eluded him.

FOOTNOTE: Catch a Bigfoot? That's some feat.
