Papua New Guinea Cryptid Research Organization

Those fancy outfits don't come cheap!
Here's Rex in 2004.
See if you can understand (or "save" savvy) the Tok Pisin. Had to look up "bilas" which means decoration or finery.
Might have trouble getting that spear through US security mind you.

My rough translation of the pidgin English:

That's the boy
I'm talking about...
Sorry to butter you up Rex,
But you photograph well
In all that finery.

I guess a 20 year-old Rex dressed in traditional Papuan warrior gear is something like young English men who go to watch sports events dressed as Crusader Knights/Richard the Lionheart.

Yapi is a grifter. He approached the CFZ wanting cameras and drones. We offered to send him some but he refused them as they were not expensive enough. He wanted stuff that was £5000 a pop. He is on the grif for money from westeners. I don't trust him or believe a word he says.

And did he take no for an answer?
As you're not the wealthy Western sponsor he was hoping for, you need to tell him straight "Sori Rex. Nogut. Mi no ken helpim yu wantaim mani, bikos mi poket brok!"

He threw a wobbly when we wouldn't give him what he wanted and write him a letter of reccomendation for the local govener.
 
Here's one for Rex to look into.
From April this year, a brief trail-cam night-vision video of an apparent bipedal creature with a white blaze on its head and a rigid tail held out behind it.
The name "Murray" has been used for the cryptid, but this creature, if not a hoax, looks pretty small - maybe the size of a wild turkey.

Intriguing, although clearly not "immense"

Is "bien_forever" the Papua New Guinea Cryptid Research Organization in disguise...?
 
Rex Yapi posts a short video to launch his 2025 expedition in search of the Ropen (a supposed extant pterosaur).

A native Papuan - Rex Yapi has founded a cryptozoological group.
His forum currently only has 250 members so, if you're on Facebook, you may wish to sign on and support his endeavours.
Papua New Guinea is one of the best chances we have for discovering unknown creatures or creatures thought to be extinct and, if anyone can sort out the woo-woo rubbish from the solid on-the-ground facts, it's likely to be someone who has lived there all his life.
Just search for "Papua New Guinea Cryptid Research Organization"
He has a profile entry on Linkedin too.
This may be something the FT would like to pick up on?

He's a grifter of the first order. He approached the CFZ asking for drones and cameras. We agreed to send him some to use for looking for PNG cryptids. But he rejected the ones we selected as they were not 'expensive' enough and he only wanted the ones in the £5000 range! Then he wanted Jon Downes to write a personal letter of endorsement to the local governor bigging him up even though we had never met him. When Jon said no he threw a temper tantrum. He's been trying to grift money off American cryptozoologists too.
