In my previous article I wrote that the reasons why we hardly ever see the Bigfoot creatures is because they spend a lot of time underwater. There is another possibility‚ too: That the creatures live in deep‚ hidden caves. Let's have a look at that theory. In the latter part of the 19th century a British adventurer and explorer named Hugh Nevill was told of a race of creatures that were part-human and part-ape but which were‚ by the time Nevill heard the story‚ dead and gone – somewhere in the vicinity of five human generations earlier.  They resided in the southeast corner of Sri Lanka and‚ before their assumed extinction‚ were constantly at war with another race of hairy humanoids known as the Nittaewo. Both types of creature were fairly small; around four to five feet in height. They also shared a liking for living in deep‚ natural caves and caverns‚ and had a love of fresh‚ raw meat. They were not totally savage‚ however‚ as is evidenced by their apparent use of primitive stone tools. It was not their constant warring with each other that wiped out the Nittaewo and their unnamed furry foes‚ however: it was man. Reportedly‚ the last of the Nittaewos were killed in a violent confrontation at a cave in the Kattaragama Hills. A very similar story was told to an explorer named Frederick Lewis‚ a story that also suggested the Nittaewos were long gone. In this case‚ the account came from one Dissan Hamy‚ whose grandfather reportedly helped build a huge bonfire at the mouth of the cave‚ as a means to kill the creatures by smoke inhalation.
