Ochopee, FL -- Here's a news flash: An exhibitionist Bigfoot is arousing attention in the Everglades.

That's the naked truth according to RV Park owner David Shealy, who says a "skunk ape" recently flashed two Swedish women who were fishing near a river.

Shealy says the witnesses told him the smelly creature suddenly appeared out of the bushes near their rental car and started growling while sniffing the air strangely.

The women feared for their lives but Shealy says they were more concerned about being sexually assaulted because the Skunk Ape had an erection measuring more than 12 inches long.

Luckily, once the creature got his jollies, he disappeared back in the bushes and the ladies drove off in a huff.

Still, Shealy expects more exposures in the near-future. He says it's almost Skunk Ape mating season and the creatures are attracted to the scent of menstruation.
