Very interesting, TY for posting. Is this the first time this photo has been posted? Do you remember where you got the photo from.

Not a bear, and the head does look very primate oriented.

TIA...Des

I'm confused.
The image looks for all the world to me like the BACK of a primate-like creature...
not the front. But they're seeing ears? toes? Hands?
I can't see that at all...

looks like an orangutan.

I played with the picture a little and I'd say it looks more like a bear.

Hi, I'm Louisa and found this site when my google alert notified me that the topic had resurfaced. I posted the pic on a couple forums since 09, BIG MISTAKE, lol. The pic was takem with a Stealth Game cam, I think the date stamp was Oct 17th 2009 at around 11am. The cam was set to take 6 consecutive pics, what is posted here is the first pic of the series that triggered the cam. The following pics are definately of my guinea hen.
The location is in the Ouachita mountains of Arkansas a couple miles from the Oklahoma border.
Yes, there are bears here. When I e-mailed the pics to a game and fish officer he said that they were odd pictures, could be a bear cub but appeared to be too small for Ocober. I then e-mailed the pics to a couple primate facilities and one from Florida came back and said it was "a gorilla kid sitting on it's bum in the bush", another said chimpanzee. Due to the graininess of the original pic I e-mailed it to a game camera tech from the manufacturer and he came back and said possible bornean orangutan.
When I posted the pics on a couple bigfoot boards that I'm a member of I was told anything from black plastic garbage bag, turkey, owl, ground hog. But mainly due to the guinea hen being in the following pics "it has to be a guinea hen". If anyone is familiar with these types of guinea fowl, they have a "bumpy appearance" but will also "chase away" things in their territory. A couple people created giffs with all the pics that do show a sequence of a line of where the first subject is (what triggered the cam) and the following pics of the bird.
I could not get anyone to help me seriously work with the pics so I did it myself, only using hue and contrast to try and bring in more detail, I "did not" add or draw anything to the pic, I only worked with what was there by lightening and darkening. The pics are in the link I added, they include the following of the series with the guinea hen and hopefully better detail in the other pics of what triggered the cam in the first pic.

Hey all, thanks to the OP for the interesting thread, and thanks to LouisaC for replying here! These are my opinions about the pic, but please note that I am FAR from an animal expert, so I could be wrong

At first the pic looked to me like a primate turned with its back towards the camera, but when I saw the pics on the link LouisaC posted, I have to say that I believe that its a guinea hen due to the fact that the supposed bigfoot baby pic is shot less than 10 seconds before those of the hen. I think that if it really was a bf juvenille there would be at least one more pic of it (as far as I saw there isn't?). So I think that on all the pics is a hen with its head towards the ground (probably looking for food?) and the head is hidden/not visible due to the grass, and its rear end/tail looks like the back of a primates head. Just my opinion
