Annette : I might be able to support you with few answers.
According to scientist there are to reasons that no remains have been found.
Reason 1. The Chinesse use the borns of preshistoric and modern animals has a medicine. One scientist found a Giganto tooth in a shop.
Reason 2. Some scientist beleive that they travel long distances during the migrational period. If one dies, it is beleive that one will carry it untill they reach there disination then discard the body. One man said he had an encounter with one as he saw it "taking a dump" and said he place sticks to mark and when he came back the next day it had been taken.
Not sure if any of these makes things slighty clearer. I suppose you might be surprised if you view my thread The Patterson-Gimilin Film here in the Debate forum.

mr.pace : What? First you claim to know how they communicate (knocking, screaming), then you say gorillas were discovered in the 70's? And on top of that, you also said that the Chinese collect their bones for medicine . . . You think that Chinese people who live in the U.S. live like Native Americans or something?

Sephitard9001 : No. Let me see if I can make it clearer. Some thousands of years ago there was a bering striat that connected Ameriaca with Asia and that's how they migrated of here. When I said that gorrilas were only discovered in the 1970's I was inferring that you can't rule out the possibility of this animal exsisting.

I don't belive in big foot or any other of these fake monster.
but i do belive in ogopogo.

It's possible that it exist I mean anything's possible

It is possible that it exists, but it may not be existing either

I don't really believe in bigfood/lonch nest monster either because they just seem like tales your parents told you werent real, and NON real things or monsters we saw in scoobydoo But their could possibly be something out there, but I really dont think its big foot..

Yeah, I kinda think bigfoot is real based on the stuff my brother told me. I'll beleive it when I see it.

I don't believe in bigfoot i believe in other myths but bigfoot is just not one of the things i believe in but i believe in myths somewhat related to bigfoot

i believe it is real but hidden from us maybe there smart and dont what to face us in fear of extinction

danielalexander : Perhaps so.

Based upon irrelevant evidence, I took it upon myself to study the "Bigfoot" project. And based upon my studies so far, I believe that I have solved the loop that keeps us running in circles. And I will announce that next week I will post the results of my studies and I ensure you that it will be something that everyone will want to read and that it may change the views of some entirly.

Of course I think there's a possibility it exists. I can't believe something or believe it doesn't exist when the evidence is shabby and the discussions are mostly opinion. History is full of animals that were cryptozoology stories before they were documented, the mountain gorilla was a "Wild man of the woods" and the coelacanth was believed extinct. Just recently the census of lowland gorillas doubled because some researchers sensibly counted the number of gorilla nests in an area rather than looking for shy, well-camouflaged animals. So there may be something to the Bigfoot legend. It's more plausible that an unknown animal is out there than the UFOs and so on -- but it might not be what people think it is. That's the catch. If some unknown bear species turned up, that could be what's being spotted -- when something is unknown I don't make assumptions about it. I do know there have been a significant number of frauds involving Bigfoot and that people cash in on it to try to sell souvenirs, books and such. That just impedes any serious investigations. If there is a real animal, I would hazard a guess that someone will find it while counting plovers' eggs or doing tree ring samples and conducting a serious survey in the area without even thinking of Bigfoot till the droppings are found -- that's evidence I would trust. Animal droppings have their DNA in shed cells in them. You'd think with all the people chasing Bigfoot that someone would get out with plastic bags, a pooper scooper and a lab budge.

Yeah i agree i think its possible, but highly unlikely, if he really could wander the earth for 1000s of years and never be caught(with Definitive proof), he either deserves to stay hidden or he doesn't exist imo.

YourMajestyKen : Yes, of course you can never rule out the possibility of an unknown animal exsisting. Especially if that animal lives in water. Though my studies of the Bigfoot theroy will not be finished untill next week, I will tell you that DNA of large bipedal homonid primate has been discovered in North America. Near Ontario, Cananda there was a raid on an old fishing cottage that was approx. 200 miles from the nearest city. The cottage was virtually destroyed. When the normal crew of fishermen return, they left a trap for whoever or whatever destroyed there cottage. Trap was a long piece of wood that had screw nails in it. The being that raided the cottage apparently had not finished for it came back and step of the wood. A large bloody footprint, that was very distinctive wherein the toes were shape perfertly, was left. Blood, tissue, and hair were extracted and taken for DNA analysis. The analysis first came back inconclusive, but upon a second try prove that the being responsible for destroying the cottage was a large primate closely related to humans and chimps. Next week I shall post the full "100 yards" of my review of many cases of bigfoot.

I believe it but i don't believe. I guess i'm one of those people who hafta see it to believe. but mr.pace always tells me "becareful what you ask for or i just might get it"

I've been studing this subject for a while and now it's time to release a portion of my studies. Hasten not to judge, but to critical to explian views.

I have placed it into 10 major catagories.


1. History
2. Measurements/Anatomy
3. Gait
4. Evidence
5. Gigantophicus-theory
6. Timeline
7. Probability
8. Habitat
9. Supposed Characteristics
10. Genetics


I. History
The history of bigfoot ,that has been recorded, dates as far back as 1300 when the native americans painted a drew about creature that stood taller than man. The persona that they have given him has varied among tribes, but the one thing that has remianed constant is the body and hair description. His dome shaped head, his large feet, and his incredible hieght. Countries all over the world have reported see this cryptid something many vary, yet couple of things remain the same.
II. Measurements/Anatomy
The measurements of this creature vary, and it's anatomy is very different from other animals. It's heigt ranges from 5feet to 9feet with an average of 7.7feet. It's weight is approx. 400lbs to 800+lbs. It's bone structure is somewhat of a mix between nonhuman and human primates(i do not classify humans as primates), but it's walking is 100% new. It walks by rotating it's knees inward then outward before planting it's foot and yet it can still run at speeds that exceed 35 miles per hour. It's Anatomy still baffles me.

It's an interesting start but most cultures have stories of non-earthly creatures that haunt them. Look through lore of every country and you'll find some sort of monster that roams just outside our perception, just out of the firelight in the evenings. Stories are stories.

I think it is exceedingly unlikely there is a Bigfoot style animal in Washington/Oregon/Idaho. If there were just one, how is it going to procreate. If there were many, we would have discovered their population. Bigfoot would compete with bears and other animals for the same resources. Animals usually eliminate each other by outperforming them. I don't know that a few Bigfoots would survive against other animals, especially humans.

Could there be something? Yes. Is it likely? Absolutely not.

I do not believe that Bigfoot exists. I won't really go into why because it would be repeating bits of what others have said (mainly Annette and BTowns). 

But on a lighter note, anyone heard Mitch Hedberg's hypothesis on Bigfoot? It has an interesting point. I'll quote it for you. "I think Bigfoot IS blurry, and that's the problem. It is NOT the photographers fault. Bigfoot is blurry.....which is extra scary because now we have a large out of focus monster roaming the countryside. He's fuzzy, watch out."

If bigfoot exists, I would be surprised because I believe it is just an old legend, or does not exist.

Big foot is like the Lock Ness monster, they couldn't really find it, only in a bunch of photos. Is it possible, that a life form that big can be found? Lots of these creatures like Bigfoot, are legends/myths that people believe in.
