An Entity of Type: Abstraction100002137, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

In Malaysian folklore, the Orang Mawas or Mawas (also known as the Orang Dalam) is an entity reported to inhabit the jungle of Johor in Malaysia. It is described as being about 10 ft (2.4–3 m) tall, bipedal and covered in black fur, and has been reported feeding on fish and raiding orchards. There have been many sightings of the creature, which the local Orang Asli people call hantu jarang gigi, which translates as 'Snaggle-toothed Ghost'. Recorded claims of Mawas sightings date back to 1871. Some speculate the creature may be a surviving Gigantopithecus (or at least a folk memory of the animal), while the scientific community tends to dismiss the sightings as misidentified sun bears. Similar creatures are reported in other countries in southeast Asia, such as the Muwa in the Philippines o

  • En el folklore de Malasia, el Orang Mawas o Mawas (también denominado el Orang Dalam) es un ente que se dice habita la selva de Johor en Malasia. Se dice que mide de 2.4–3 m de alto, es bipedo y se encuentra recubierto de un pelaje negro, y según se dice se alimenta de peces y de asaltar huertos. Ha habido algunos avistamientos de la criatura, a quien el pueblo local Orang Asli llaman hantu jarang gigi, que traducido significa 'fantasma de dientes rotos'.​ Los registros de avistamientos se remontan a 1871.​ Algunos especulan que la criatura podría ser un Gigantopithecus sobreviviente (o por lo menos la memoria folclórica de este animal), mientras que otras personas descartan los avistamientos por haberse confundido con osos. La criatura es similar al Muwa, otro homínido, esta vez de las Filipinas. En la selva del sur de Tailandia, hay relatos de monstruos recubiertos de pelo como un mono, pero que habla como un humano denominado "Butnak" (en tailandés, บุดนาก​). En Sumatra, mawas (a veces maias) es un nombre común para el orangután.​ (es)
