The Lore
The Agogwe is a small bipedal primate reported across East Africa, particularly in Tanzania and Mozambique. Standing only 4 to 5 feet tall with russet-colored fur and a rounded forehead, it walks upright like a human. British officer Captain William Hichens reported seeing two Agogwe in 1900 while lion hunting. Some cryptozoologists suggest it could be a surviving population of Australopithecus or an unknown species of great ape.
