Doughnut trap is set for `Baby Bigfoot'

(AP) -- State wildlife officials are hoping doughnuts will lure an orangutan into the open in this town near Jacksonville.

Residents have reported seeing a ''big orange ball of fur,'' said Karen Parker, a spokeswoman for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

Wildlife officers can't confirm the furball is actually a large primate, though a Baker County animal control officer claimed she saw an orange-colored ape ''much larger than a spider monkey'' sitting in a tree. Some residents speculate it may only be a squirrel. Others think it may be a ``baby Bigfoot.''
