On January 12, 2013, evidence of the orang pendek was discovered by two men from Pauh Tinggi village. While the creature itself was not seen, footprints were discovered, as well as where the creature rubbed its body against a tree, and also where the creature stopped to forage for grubs in a rotting log. The tree was apparently not examined for hair samples, though my contacts have been instructed to look for such in the future.
Only one footprint was cast from this line of tracks, and it the first cast to be obtained by the Orang Pendek Project. The cast is a little over 6.5 inches long, 2.75 inches wide at the ball, and 2.5 inches wide at the heel. The hallux, or big toe, is off to the side (abducted) as is the case with other apes. This cast establishes that the 2001 Davies cast is NOT a handprint, as has been speculated by others before, but rather it is a footprint.
