Recently, two AI-generated video clips were created using Adobe Firefly to animate the infamous cropped photograph of Ameranthropoides loysi, also known as Loys's ape. This 1917 image, long revealed as a hoax featuring the body of a pet spider monkey, was brought to life through the combination of detailed verbal and visual prompts. The videos provide an imaginative glimpse of what this controversial subject might look like if the creature had been real.
The AI-generated videos also showcase the unpredictable nature of artificial intelligence art programs, introducing unexpected visual elements such as a mysterious large object briefly appearing behind the creature. These clips mark the first ShukerNature Video of the Day entries, complementing previous pictorial content on the subject. For those interested in a deeper exploration, detailed discussions on the Loys's ape photograph and its background are available in a series of comprehensive articles and in works authored by Mark Shuker.
