I know my old cryptozoology thread didn't go over so well, but let's have a second try: Yeti, in Alaska? Nope, only certain bigfoots (which itself consists of many distinct types). The ones probably most common in Alaska would be the Neo-giant Sasquatch (your everyday bigfoot) or a marked hominid (smaller, piebald, more robust). I've heard of the neo-giant bigfoot.  So then, which one is most dangerous? According to all your research? I'd say that the true giant class is the most dangerous, since they grow to be 10-20 feet tall (probably on the lower end of that estimate in North America) and demonstrate use of primitive tools and language. |

Just for an overview, there are 6 recognized "classes" of unknown primates reported from North America:
Neo-giant (everyday Sasquatch)
True Giant (bigger, 10-20 ft., lanky)
Neanderthals (there are reports of Neanderthals surviving until recently or perhaps still alive)
Unknown Pongoid (like an ape/gorilla, recognized by footprints with opposible big toe)
Marked Hominid (piebald, robust, shorter)
Giant Monkey (like a giant baboon, 3-5 feet tall)

I hope since the last thread people have learned how to have a discussion about cryptids in a nice manor. |

I hope since the last thread people have learned how to have a discussion about cryptids in a nice manor. I love cryptids. I hope this thread isn't locked... I see theri. So, isn't it true that we have reports of rock throwing? People here rocks hitting there cabins all the time out in the woods at night.  |

Yep, and only animals with hands can throw rocks. Plus, these cabins are so remote that no hoaxers would find them.

I am fascinated by the True Giant class, because consistently on 6 continents all footprints found have only 4 toes. Coincidence?

;D Are these giants invisiable? And since there are so many of them, all around the place, how come we have no carcasses? Please supply evidence that can be substantiated! ;D

Please supply evidence that can be substantiated! ;D But that's the conspiracy..or something. Yes, we would think that if these things are on 6 continents, there would be irrefutable evidence from at least one of those continents, yet so far--nothing that can't be explained by more parsimonious means. |

Please supply evidence that can be substantiated! ;D Okay, here's a question for you: How often do you see bear carcasses in the forest? If there was one bigfoot for every 100 bears, the population would be sustainable. Also, 95% of Canada and 90% of the Pacific Northwest of the US are forested. In my mind that's more than enough room and coverage for them to live undetected. |

No bones, pictures, hair, nothing. Maybe their aliens. Whoo run for your life here they come. They got me Tyrannax, they say your next. AAAAAHHHHH^^^^ Help! ;D |

Actually, there have been 5 or 6 bigfoots reportedly killed in the past 200 years, but none of the carcasses were kept (the same thing happened with the gorilla before it was scientifically described.) Also, multiple hair samples and blood samples from North America cannot be matched to any known North American mammal but most closely resemble great apes. Many pictures have been taken, the most notable of which is the Patterson/Gimlin film that I'm sure you've seen.
What about the question I asked you?

Yeeeah. I think I am going to skip this one for the most part...but...
I did want to comment as someone who spends alot of time IN the woods, and looking FOR road killed animals, bears are pretty commonly seen animals if they are in the area, and being killed along roadways can have a major affect on a bear population. A more elusive animal, the Cougar, is often population mapped in part via road killed specimens.
I would say its not only improbable that an animal like a "bigfoot" lives in the Americas, even if it was only "coyote sized", its darn near impossible. We would have a specimen by now. But you know as far as I am concerned, bigfoot = misidentified native species/people perpetuating a hoax.
You have a better chance of spotting a feral wood Elvis skittering down out of a sugar plum tree after a Unicorn being ridden by a Pixie then finding a "Bigfoot" that is not someone in an ape suit.

I think my story on sighting one of these deserves its own thread! How can you argue against the Patterson/Gimlin film? It was never proven to be a hoax, footprints were taken that show the creature was about 800 lbs, a human couldn't walk like that, muscles show under the costume, facial features move, and the costume couldn't be made by special effects artists even today. |

*Sigh* Remember the other thread about this ? I already discussed that there, and explained that just because we can not "prove" it is a hoaxed video, means NOTHING. It certainly does not prove it as not being a hoax. "and the costume couldn't be made by special effects artists even today." Check out the old thread. Been over this exact same thing already. dinotoyforum.proboards100.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=298&page=4*lets dead Eohippus take a break from being beaten* |

The Patterson/Gimlin film is a fraud. They even know who was in the suit from the way he walked. It was on the scientific channel. Were there 5 or 6 Big Foots found. You mean to tell me no one kept one carcass for a trophy or had it mounted. Unbelievable! Wrong! Incorrect! Not Proper! Does not compute! A frozen Halloween Big foot costume! ;D |
