Orang Pendek (Indonesian for "short person") is the most common name given to a cryptid, or unconfirmed animal, that reportedly inhabits remote, mountainous forests on the island of Sumatra.
This print was discovered on July 30, 2013
"Sometime during the last few days of July 2013, a man named Pak Saril witnessed an orang pendek near Hutang Gunung Sangkar, which roughly translates to the “Debt of the Caged Mountain.” Word spread of the encounter, and Jhonisa, one of my Sumatran contacts, heard of the encounter and visited the site on July 30. A footprint was found and was later cast. It is not known if more than one footprint was found.
The cast shows leaves and forest debris from the jungle floor, some of which were buried in the mud in the impression. A right foot made the print, and the adducted, or divergent hallux is pronounced and well-defined all the way down the toe stem. It connects to the medial cuneiform bone just a little forward or halfway down the inside of the foot. The cast shows a subtle bulge at the front of the foot pad near the base of the toes. This seems to correspond to where the metatarsal head meets the base of the phalanx or the proximal phalanges." - Cliff Barackman
