I’m very offended by this thread. I am a bigfoot born and raised in Kentucky before I decided to leave the family tree and try to make it big in Hollywood. (You like Star Wars, right? Can we say CHEWBACCA!?) You guys are really racist towards my people, calling us stinky, calling us Nephilym, suggesting that we don’t even exist. Listen, just how many of you have ever starred in a movie or been married to America’s first black President?
Our accomplishments as a race should not be underestimated. We deserve respect.
OMG, there’s a FBF thread on FR!
I’ll get back to you. We haven’t seen it yet. We just watched the VA 1 yesterday.
I post on IMDB about the inanity of this show.
They pull in to any town, USA or Canada, go out that night, and get bigfoot responses. This is a hot spot of bigfoot activity. But... we gotta be moving on to the next location.
I saw a show on leopards in Mumbai. The guy wanted to know if they lived in a big park in town. He took five over the counter, common as dirt game cameras and set them up. The next morning he had good film of a leopard. These bigfoot nuts could invest $10,000 in cheap game cameras and have one on every tree, and leave them for months. Nope, yell a few times, get in the car and leave.
Ping me when they actually find a body - dead or alive.
The show is just an endless tease, and as such grows tiresome quickly.
O.o
Really?
For one, the Mountain Gorilla was considered a native legend until it was found in 1902 (October 17) by German explorer Captain Robert von Beringe. And it was a 'native legend' as no remains of this alleged creature were ever found. Only anecdotal 'stories' from the African natives existed as 'proof' (sound familiar, no?).
And the Coelacanth fish was thought to have went extinct 140 million years ago until it was 'rediscovered' in 1938 in a Fish Market in Madagascar(iirc). The natives though the white man's reaction somewhat amusing as that fish was fairly common for them. And Madagascar isn't exactly off the beaten track of modern man or science. (when I was in Elem school in the 50's the text books and teaching still said the Coelacanth was extinct -- FAIL (lol).)
So given the vast remote ares of the Pacific Northwest, or remote forested areas of the Southern US, like along/near the Appalachian Trail a breeding sustaining population of 'Bigfeet' is *feasible*. And given the time, separation, geography and climate, the Southern and NW species would likely 'evolve' (adapt) differently. This would hold true for the Tibetan Yeti too.
Anywho, IMHO if - when - Bigfoot, Sasquatch, (Gigantopithecus) is found it will be in the Pacific NW. The Indian legends and modern sightings go back longer and are more numerous there. Plus the breeding habitat is much more remote and vast in the NW.
Gigantopithecus: 'extinct' genus of ape that existed from roughly one million years to as recently as three hundred thousand years ago..
I hate to say it, but I think this is for real.
