Sarasota County sheriffs received an anonymous letter from a woman worried about a six or seven-foot tall escaped orangutan which had been in her back yard. She enclosed a photograph of the creature which local newspapers picked up on in mid-February 2001, speculating it may be the Florida skunk ape.
