Rangers at the Way Kambas National Park in Lampung, Indonesia claim to have spent much of the past month chasing what they describe to be 20-inch tall, dreadlocked pygmies.
The initial sighting reportedly happened March 20th around 6:40 pm explained Park spokesperson Sukatmoko, when rangers spotted the small beings running quickly through the forested underbrush. Park rangers believe they might be utilizing the forests Nusantara Tropical Fruit plantation to scavenge for food. When Park employees attempted to make contact with the nude pygmies they ran away very quickly, and “hid behind trees and vanished.”
The next step at the Kamas National Park is to attempt to capture the pygmies on film.
“We believe they really exist in and we’re making strenuous efforts to find them. In the event that we do, we hope the government protects them,” Sakatmoko explained to at small press conference to local reporters and academics.
“In Kerinci Seblat, they are known as the orang pendek [short people], in Flores as homo floresiensis, and in Bone as members of the Oni tribe. In Mount Kerinci, the creature is depicted as having inverted legs but is very agile among the dense foliage,” Environment chapter director Mukri Friatna further explained to reporters.
Interestingly enough this recent discovery could possibly lend further credence to the theory that Indonesia was once home to a very small race of prehistoric human beings, affectionately deemed the “Hobbit People.”

I want to teach one to talk with an English accent. Then we could dress up in matching outfits and walk around with him on my shoulder.
I could eat a bag of chips and occasionally give him one, while intently staring at anyone giving me a hard time.
I would name him Francis.
