Skunk Ape Researcher From Florida Gets His Own Reality TV Show

Documentary on Dave Shealy, an expert on Florida's notorious Skunk Ape. This is a short version, with a full length version to come.

Sorry Tim Fasano, it's not going to be you this time either. Discovery Channel went with David Shealy and they are filming a pilot for a Reality TV show about a Skunk Ape Investigator. The film crew is California-based Authentic Entertainment, the production company behind reality TV shows Ace of Cakes (Food Network) and Flipping Out (Bravo).

David Shealy took the Travel Channel crew out into the Everglades and introduced them to skunk ape eyewitnesses, and then was interviewed at home, which is part-Everglades hunting lodge and part primate reliquary.
