WINTER HAVEN, Fla., Sept. 6 (UPI) -- Believers in the existence of Bigfoot, or Swamp Ape, are organizing a hunt in Florida for the shaggy, loping creature, believed to be part human.

Scott Marlowe, an instructor of a Florida Keys Community College online class in cryptozoology, the study of creatures that may or may not exist, is behind the hunt, which hopes to conduct the first week of November.

He told the Orlando Sentinel about 20 experienced hunters would be teamed with neophytes, most of whom have taken some of Marlowe's classes. They will fan out in most southern and central counties, depending on recent reports of sightings, the report said.

"Of all the species on Earth, man is presumed to be the only one that has one example of its genus -- the only genus that has only one species still alive," Marlowe said. "All other species have more than one."

Chester Moore, a Bigfoot researcher from Orange, Texas, who will join the Florida expedition, says he not only has seen, but has heard Bigfoot on numerous occasions.
