Just to get things rolling, I thought I'd start a topic.

Bigfoot. Do you think such a creature exists, and why/why not?

>> No.2  

I do, but i actually think its more plausible for the Yeti to exist, That is an area much more unmapped and undiscovered persay than anyplace here.

>> No.3  

>>2

same shit, different area.

>> No.4  

>>3
Yeah, I realize that. But said area is much more likely to harbor undiscovered life then a few forests in Oregon.

>> No.5  

I wouldn't be surprised if it's some kind of gorilla that got there in a bizarre way. (Escaped zoo/circus animal?)

>> No.6  

>>5
Gorilla's legs aren't that long.

>> No.7  

is it me or does the head of it look like someone wearing a ninja mask? (only eyes and some part of nose sticks out)

>> No.8  

they got that monsterquest thing on the history channel. the bigfoot one was pretty tight.

>> No.9

John Stalvern waited. The fireflies above him blinked and sparkled in the air. There were Bigfoots in the woods. He didn't see them, but had expected them now for years. His warnings to his hunting friend Cernel Joson were not listenend to and now it was too late. Far too late for now, anyway.
John was a Bigfoot hunter for fourteen years. When he was young he watched clips of Bigfoot on TV and he said to dad "I want to hunt the monsters daddy."
Dad said "No! You will BE KILL BY BIGFOOTS"
There was a time when he believed him. Then as he got oldered he stopped. But now in the woods because of the smell he knew there were Bigfoots.
"This is Joson" the radio crackered. "You must fight the Bigfoots!"
So John gotted his hunting rifle and blew up the tree.
"HE GOING TO KILL US" said the Bigfoots.
"I will shoot at him" said the Sasquatch and he threw poop. John shooted at him and tried to blew him up. But then the tree fell and they were trapped and not able to kill.
"No! I must kill the Bigfoots" he shouted
The radio said "No, John. You are the Bigfoots"
And then John was a baby Sasquatch.

Actually, the forests that could keep the Sasquatch are both almost entirely unexplored, and span large segments of the North American continent.

Watch Destination: Truth on Sci-fi.
Wasn't quite sure what to expect, but its a very professional team, their first episode they traveled to Nepal to search for the Sasquatch's cousin, the Yeti. Found a great print up there, and some other fun evidence. I would highly recommend.

Monster Quest is alright. I was excited by it at first until the second episode that I watched. About Giant birds.

The information in that episode was all speculation. There was almost no true information in it and they actually lied. Because of that I dont trust Monster Quest.

and what I'm referancing to is that they were talking about large birds carrying small children off. They said that it was impossible and couldnt be done. When there have been literally at least 50 documented cases in the US where eagles have carried off small children and man more attempts.

A man in california actually tested it with his own 3-yr old daughter. Albeit controversial methods, he proved that the average sized eagle can in fact lift a child up off the ground and fly with her. (she wasnt hurt)

Destination Truth, on the other hand, is very good.

yo i think bigfoot IS blurry

>> No.14  

Personal theory here is "big foot" is some proto human ape. There are fossil remnants of tool making humanoids in Africa that greatly resembled apes. Such as Australopithecus Bosei, who where divergent evolutionary branches from the common human ancestor and eventually became extinct.

Its also known modern man was not the first homo species to venture out of Africa. Homo Erectus is known to have moved as far as China.

I theorize that bigfoot is a human evolution divergent that had been successively pushed into more remote areas by the much more dangerous humans. To exist without official detection for so long they must exhibit an intelligence greater than the chimpanzee (an animal known to exhibit self-awarenes.) Also curiously there have been plenty of sightings but never reports of attacks on people. Could be that the attacked never live to tell the tale or could be the bigfoot knows better than insight human wrath.

I would guess they are social creatures, and fully aware of how incredibly dangerous humans are. It doesn't take much intelligence to realize humans tend to try and kill everything they see, and are far too strong to be driven back. Its why even very large predatory mammals are wary of humans, those that were not met natural selection very quickly. Its also possible like neaderthals they bury their dead, and thus would make discovery of specimens nearly impossible. Its possible they even recover the dead that might have been killed by human hunters or traps or accidents. They must also be a very rare animal, as ecosystems would have trouble supporting large populations of such a large creature, especially with such limited ranges due to human encroachment.

Its quite a misnomer that even human cites are animal free. We expect squirrels and mice, but there are cases of animals as big as panthers going unnoticed in heavily urban areas for very long periods of time. They were eventually tracked and delt with, but the idea that a panther Animals exhibit an elusiveness and cunning that at times can be surprising.

The eyewitness accounts are generally quite consistent, and even more remarkable, there are corresponding accounts from other areas of the world.

Another factor, if bigfoot is a human evolutionary divergent, DNA sampling of hair or tissue found would be hard. Not becasue of bad DNA, but becasue it would be so close to human most scientists/DNA techs would dismiss genuine results as contamination, or a hoax. The same would hold true for hair samples, as they would likely be very similar to human hairs.

However until a specimen is found and verified by independent researches this debate and theorizing will continue on forever. It might be a terrible thing if bigfoot is ever proven to exist, as it would spark a spree of attempted poaching that would make the discovered animal extinct in short order.

And if it does exist, perhaps the Bigfoot knows this, and thus why its so careful to avoid detection.
