For discussion by thinking hominids!

Then they turned, ran back into the forest, and disappeared. She left the next day.

I think I would have evacuated immediately...

She's a 54 year old female. She's a musician. A folk musician. She Loves to get close to nature. We can speculate that she is a Gore supporter, that she owns a copy of "Earth in the Balance". We can further speculate that the claims from Mr Wallace's family that Bigfoot was a myth created by Mr Wallace in 1958 were personally very threatening to Ms Davis' view of nature as fragile and threatened.

I say she decided to come up with a good story to provide a claim that we need to protect the wild places because that's where Sasquatch lives.

The vocalizations and smells reported here are similar to reports from the Amazon jungle. My own guess is that it is a ground sloth, a megafauna that was supposed to have become extinct at the end of the last ice age. While it was usually a vegetarian, it could hunt and kill something as big as a sabertooth cat if it wanted protein badly enough.

It's Al Gore. He's stopped shaving again.

I generally have a pretty good vocabulary but confess I had to look up "hirsute". I have seen the word a couple of times but never knew that it meant shaggy, or hairy.

Of course, being a former instructor at the University of Colorado Law School, the idea of collecting actual evidence at the site never occurred to her.

She may have evacuated immediately. Many people would have. But, after changing her drawers, she still may have waited until the next day to leave the area.

I watched a show last night on the Discovery channel and it was concerned with the scientists who are actually investigating these creatures by using genuine scientific methods. Maybe in a year or two we might have an answer.

Back in the seventies I ran into a guy in a small town in the North Cascades, who spent a lotta time hiking into a secluded river valley to make casts of Bigfoot tracks. He had hundreds of 'em. Coulda been a con or a whack job, but during the couple of months that I was there, I didn't get that impression.

Hey, maybe they're the ones making all those crop circles.

Nah. No UFO sighting. Just bigfoot on foot.

Pack goats? She's damn lucky she didn't encounter a cat!

Me thinks too much wacky tobacky.

Cougars live in many areas where they are never seen by people, because wild cougars are very secretive and avoid contact with humans at all costs. I don't have all that much trouble believing that there are other animals that are equally successful at avoiding detection, especially in areas with large tracts of uninhabited territory.

"It was gigantic - it must have been 8 feet tall," said Davis, an experienced backcountry camper from rural Boulder County and a former volunteer with the Great Bear Foundation.

"It had very, very broad shoulders - huge shoulders," she said. "Its face was almost completely covered in fur but human-like, on the human side of halfway between a human and gorilla."

"I've had a lot of time to get to know what bears look like up close," she said. "This animal was bigger than any bear."

Davis said the giant uttered a low rumble, and immediately a second animal - slightly smaller and lighter in color - peered at her from behind the big one.

Then they turned, ran back into the forest, and disappeared.

Thank you for your reply; however the picture you enclosed was that of the "Renocerus Floridensis" a lonely creature that inhabits the Everglades of Florida and can only be tracked by following the quivering of the sawgrass. :^))
