Bear trap set for mysterious ape

GLEN ST. MARY, Fla. - Florida Fish and Wildlife have set a trap for a mysterious ape spotted a few days ago.

It seemed just about everyone in the sleepy town of Glen St. Mary knew about the big sighting, but a few residents still hadn't heard the news.

If they see it, they'll know what it is.

"It's an orange-ish brown - that's all I know," said one resident.

"I had no idea," said another.

Those who've seen it believe the mystery ape is an orangutan.

Florida Fish and Wildlife officials say they think something is there, and they're hoping their bear trap will catch it.

Ken Holmes baited the trap with bananas and apples.

It's set up in the yard of the family that first saw the ape in their backyard.
