London, October 26 (ANI): In 1937, a Dutch magazine published pictures of a supposed apeman found in the jungles of Brazil, but online observers have now argued that it could be the work of an excellent make-up artist.
His giant lips and furrowed brow and awkward monkey-like gait appear to be simian and the magazine Het Leven that published them 75 years ago described the pictures as those of a mystery apeman.
However, many online observers have cast a keen eye onto the pictures and found the tell-tale signs of prosthetic make-up on the face of the apparent monkey-man, the Daily Mail reported.
They suggested that the apeman's mouth and brow are stuck into place using rudimentary make-up.
Visible in one picture is the line of the prosthetic mouth, which covers the chin up to the bridge of the nose.
And other observers have pointed out that the forehead will always be covered with hair in any make-up situation to blend in the prosthesis.
Another shrewd onlooker has pointed out that for a man recently found wild in the jungles of Brazil, he is remarkably well shaven and has a particularly neat, if unfashionable haircut.
Others online have made the sad claim that this apeman is most likely an unfortunate individual born with birth defects and exploited to wear the make-up and prosthetics to pose and pretend to be a newly discovered apeman. (ANI)
