JREF Member Bipto's Blog about the tree breaking apes.
With pictures.
I will post this in the other thread.

On BFS 060 you heard Daryl Colyer and I discuss an event that occurred during the second week of this year’s NAWAC continuous field operation.
Continuous right up until winter, when the heat, leaves and bugs are down, and there might even be a skiff of snow that makes footie footprints blindingly obvious.
the Tenacity Bravo team . . .
Well, tenacious right up until the winter months. Bravo.
Rock throwing, rock throwing, dramatics, dramatic sounding name (Overwatch), "there's something in the tree, there's something in the tree!"
The tree partially fell and Brown said loudly, “It just jumped out of the tree!” The tree fell with an extremely loud crash.
Eltringham, who was with McAndrews, called out to Brown and Burrows, “How big was it?”
Brown replied emphatically and loudly, “It was f’n big!”
All the while, McAndrews seemed focused on zeroing the .45-70 to the exclusion of a possible ape display.
Brown heard something land with a thud—presumably a large animal of some kind—and then he heard prominent movement off to the west away from the tree.
Then the ape conclusion is lept to, without any such observation related in the anecdote.
Now, in the light of the Tenacity Bravo event, I am more inclined to think the Relentless Foxtrot event was ape-related.
Military-sounding nomenclature may impress the credules, but it reads a tad silly.
There are several circumstantial similarities between the two. Regardless, I can’t say for certain that it was.
Then why say it?
Concerning a second tree-break.
In any event, since nothing was seen, we can’t say for sure this tree was brought down by a wood ape, though we believe it was. If not, there is no other apparent plausible reason it should have fallen at that time.
No other plausible reason. Junior, no offense, but wood ape lumberjacks ain't plausible. At all. Also, you need a certified arborist or forestry specialist to examine the tree and break, not someone "whose family owns a tree farm."
We do not have enough information to draw conclusions as to why these trees are being felled
Then of course, a conclusion.
Personally, I’m in the “intentional display” camp as it seems unlikely an intelligent primate that grew up in the forest surrounded by trees would make that same kind of mistake so often . . .
Note that the wood ape conclusion is the only considered.
Tell me a story George, tell me about the
rabbits wood apes.
