But then found out it was the carcass of a monkey's as modified by local residents who want to get a prize. 
The short interest in science to start out since then.
But this creature back started to get its international status in 1989 when a British writer named Deborah Martyr found traces of Short People in southwest Sumatra. The traces are equivalent to trace a child aged 7 years. He then scored tracks with cast and sends it to the government body which administers the national park, but then the mold is gone.After 5 years of researching, Martyr Short People finally saw himself in the mountain area of ​​Kerinci on September 30, 1994.
