| There is so much controversial evidence. I am not saying that they are lying? I am not saying their not. It is one of those Umm Anomolies. For 20 years I have watched that film and it's documentries evolve. It is a mystery... |

What if these places are so remote that bones are just not found ?
What if these sightings are just a glimpse of a different realm
where the door opens during certain times indicitive to atmospheric conditions?
Were we not once trying to experiment in time travel.
The population thing I suppose would pose an issue. But not a terrible one.
Things are being discovered everyday.
So tell me filthy the interesting part since you are the only one who finds me interesting. Other than of course myself
For hot snakes, you have the Flordia cottonmouth (Agkistrodon piscivorus conanti), the eastern diamond rattlesnake (Crotalus adamanteus) the pygmi rattlesnake (Sistrurus milarius), the Canebrake rattlesnake (Crotalus horridus atricaudatus) and the eastern coral snake (micrurus fulvius). All others are completely innocous. The canebrake is found only in the very northernmost part of the state. I currently have 2 cottons and a quite large eastern diamondback in residence, among others.
I'm afraid I find your 'what ifs' kinda far out. How remote are you speaking of? And can the reagon support a viable population, remembering that a certain number of individuals are necessary to keep the gene pool heathy?

I'm not sure I understand this. Are we talking about a different dimention flashing back and forth? If so, I'll admit the possibility but there is nothing to support the claim, SF to the contrary.
I seem to recall some time travel experiments but don't recall much about it.
I don't feel up for it tonight, but if you really want to explore some snake myths, I'll do some for you and tell you some stories in the mix.

Nope interested in time traveling not snake handling. No hurt feelings. So what is this dimension flashing back.
Who says this stuff isn't the real world H.
If we think that bear, wolves, atc survive in these forrests why not these ceatures. I am sure when they talked of the great panda they said and questioned the same things anf guess what they discovered it. Wether monitired or not some of these dense forests of the pacific north west are dense not many people travl through.
Maybe it is some sort of bear huan mutation? Remember the Island of Dr. Mareu Look what science dreates with mice and man mant other animals. Why not humans? |

Storm, do please try and clean up your writing. You are very difficult to read.
In the forests you mention, these days there is almost always someone wandering around, either professionaly or for recreation. Hikers, hunters, and timber cruisers, and would-be poets looking for a muse.
At this late date, it is highly unlikely that a primate as large as ourselves would have gone virtually undocumented by any other than the, forgive me, woo-woo press.
There have been neither corpses nor bones found. there have been casts made of alledged spoor, but these are open to question. I'm told that you can buy reproductions of these casts at tourest traps.
In short, there is no real evidence in favor of Bigfoot; unsupported stories don't count.
As for the panda, the answer is simple. It was known to the world only as legend until western naturalists actually found and classified it. That was a long time ago and China was a pretty much closed society. About the same time, a very rare serpent was discovered that is just as remarkable as the panda. Fea's viper (Azimeops fea) It has been classified as it's own sub-family and is the only species in it. It is only found in the cloud forests of China.
So, what does all this prove as to the existance of Bigfoot or Nessie, or any other animal described by cryptozoology?
Exactly nothing. The panda and fea's are real creatures, well described and documented, and can be seen by the public in some zoological gardens. At this writing, the others are not and I find it unlikely to the point of nonsensical that their existance will ever be confirmed due to the reasons mentioned.

Here's something that might or might not shed some light on whatever situation it might or might not be that we're talking about:
quote:
Studies showing that magnetic stimulation of the brain induces spiritual experiences are being queried by researchers who cannot reproduce key results. If the traditional theory is wrong, scientists will be left struggling to explain how such thoughts and sensations are generated.
In the past, scientists have claimed that religious or out-of-body experiences result from excessive bursts of electrical activity in the brain. In the 1980s, Michael Persinger, a neuroscientist at the Laurentian University in Ontario, Canada, began exploring this idea through a series of experiments.
So, could it be that tinfoil hats work after all? I think I'll keep mine handy, just in case.
