So flights and accommodation for two months? So that'll be in the region of £3,000

Realistically for a few months with travel,flights and visa fees maybe $7000

Better make it $10,000 to be on the safe side.

A nice round figure

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.

So how about it @lordmongrove?
I'm sure you'd be happy to chip in a few hundred to help this rising star of cryptozoology .....

I'll chip in a slap in the face with a sock full of diarrhea.

But I'm sure you'd forgive him if he turns up with a living Thylacine or, better still, Pterosaur?
