Probably just some hairless monkey that the farmer put into
that trap.
Then some "mystery" scientists come and make a story out of it.

(Farmer -> earning money on reports and interviews)
("mystery" reporters -> eraning money by having
a high viewer show on primetime, earning money from
advertiving revenues)

Dont belive this junk as long as no serious scientific
magazin is reporting on that with doubleprooved results.
