With the right equipment, you can tell quite a lot about an animal from a recording of its call - how big it is, and something about the construction of its voicebox. Someone (can’t recall the name, long time ago) ran a sonographic analysis of what was supposed to be a recorded sasquatch call, and came to the…
The one thing I’ve learned from being outside a few times in my life is that lots of animals make lots of weird noises. I think they are just yelling at elk and pheasants most of the time. I love the idea of Bigfoot but these guys are total kooks.
Oh, I always love it when the show trumpets their “Bigfoot caller” credentials. It’s like...dude, how would you know if you were doing it right?
Probably it was a bear. The thing about amateur Bigfootologists is, most of them aren’t zoologists and they’re definitely not familiar with the areas they’re going to. A noise that a trained naturalist could easily say is a mountain lion or a wolf becomes a bigfoot in their minds, because they’ve only ever heard…
I wish Bigfoot existed. I really do!
Here is my totally base-less theory about the Bigfoot/Sasquatch/Yeti/Abominable Snowman-
Well the way I read it he didn’t see one. He just thought he was 50 feet away from one given the growling and stomping noises he heard. So yes, I think it was a discontented bear or a wolf or something.
How can people let themselves get wrapped up in beliefs so much like that?
For real, there are only 100 something Florida Panthers in the wild and we have evidence of their existence, yet nobody has ever found any evidence of 8000 giant apes in the Northwest.
I walked with Bigfoot through the forest. We discussed how he had always been by my side. I looked back at our footprints in the dirt and realized that sometimes there was only one set of footprints. I said to him: “Bigfoot, you say you’ve always been by my side, but how come when life was at it’s most trying I see…
On this website we only mock popular beliefs, like Christianity. Things like Big Foot & Skinwalkers we handle with respect. Which makes sense you don’t wanna make enemies outta crazy people.
There are only something like 3500 wild tigers left in the entire Asian continent. This dude thinks there are almost 2.5x that many 6 foot man-apes roaming around North American forests not leaving any traces except the occasional sketchy footprint?
‘ I was an elementary school teacher before I had this job, so I’m used to people not knowing things that seem logical to me.’
Exactly... and it would also have had to avoid leaving fossils for it’s entire natural history. When you have huge deposits of megafauna animals in tar pits and bone beds, and scientists in Asia that can ID a giant ape from a fragment of a tooth... it just doesn’t seem likely.
As I mentioned in another reply - Moneymaker tells us with a straight face that the reason noone finds them is because porcupines are eating them all.
The dog is like “I cannot believe I’m associated with these assholes. Also, I need to go walkies.”
Why did you even interview these people? It’s like giving air time to anti-vaxxers.
If Bigfoot existed, don’t you think we would have found any sort of skeletal remains or Bigfoot poop by now? We’ve found skeletal and poop fossils from animals that lived hundreds of millions of years ago, but nobody has found a bone from a living eight foot high creature? I can’t tell if these people are delusional…
Barackman told io9 that he estimates there are “maybe 10,000 individuals, give or take a few thousand
