Description

EBU GOGO

The Ebu Gogo are a group of human-like creatures that appear in the mythology of Flores, Indonesia. In the Nage language of central Flores, ebu means 'grandmother' and gogo means 'he who eats anything'. They were described as having been able walkers and fast runners around 1.5m tall. They reportedly had wide and flat noses, broad faces with large mouths and hairy bodies. The females also had "long, pendulous breasts." They were said to have murmured in what was assumed to be their own language and could reportedly repeat what was said to them in a parrot-like fashion. The Ebu Gogo have been identified with Homo floresiensis: A real hominid that once inhabited Flores.

Surviving populations of Homo floresiensis i see. Given their small size, probably more athletic and agile build, and the rainforests they reside in, of course the species would still be extant. Safe and hidden in the remote jungles that no one bothers to explore
