Spotted: Skunk Ape at Cedar Point Environmental Park! CHEC staff went on a hike around Cedar Point and found a Skunk Ape disguised as a Floridian human sipping a pineapple drink and swimming in Lemon Bay. Later that week we caught another glimpse of it in the brand new Eagle playground! Unbelievable, how amazing is Wild Florida?! Pictured is an award-winning photo by CHEC for the 2025 Skunk Ape Photo Contest hosted by Charlotte County.
