There are so many people out looking for bigfoot but after several decades, all anyone has found are foot prints. No scat,bones, or other traces (hair samples not yet proven to be an unknown species).

So if this animal is so careful not to leave any tell tale signs of its presence, why does it not care about leaving foot prints....that is, if these foot prints are real (actually from the animal that made them?

Why should you believe they exist?

I don't so far. Until some believable proof comes forward, like bones for testing, I find no believable proof they do exist. There are many reports of a country's people collecting such bones (if they do come from such creatures) for good fortune charms. But no outsiders have ever acquired any for testing? I find this improbable with all the scientific research expeditions taking place in many of these countries, yet no such bones have been acquired for testing !

There are plenty of reasons to believe they don't exist. Look at the impact large land mammals make on their environments, and how many such animals are required to sustain a population over time.

The latest new mammal discovery was of animals that weigh about two pounds each, and were long mistaken for another species (in other words, they were hidden in plain sight).

In fact, if you look at many new "discoveries" you'll see that plenty of them have been IDed as new species only by genetic testing showing they're substantially different from common animals people see every day. Only the smallest ones have sometimes been animals we haven't seen before.

On another note, in the continental USA, the furthest one can get from a paved road is 20 miles (somewhere in Yellowstone Park). Roads criss-cross the country in an astoundingly tight mesh. Large animals, including humans, get squished on those roads every day. So unless the claim is that Bigfoot has some miraculous ability to avoid accidentally stepping in front of trucks, there should be plenty of easily identifiable corpses already.

Ahhh... But they might be very good at hiding:

Bigfoot conference gets weird

BREMERTON — Bigfoot’s real. They’ve seen it.

But, why aren’t there any clear photos of Bigfoot?

Because Bigfoot has a cloaking capability. It can be visible or invisible, if and when it wants.

OK, but why hasn’t anyone found bones or fossils?

Because Bigfoot is interdimensional — it lives in another dimension, but sometimes comes to ours.

That’s ridiculous, how would Bigfoot cross dimensions?

Easy. Portals. Portals guarded by furry creatures with glowing eyes.

Right, So why hasn’t anyone taken a photo of a portal?

Duh, because portals only appear at night and disappear when exposed to light.

This according to researchers at the Bigfoot Habituation Research Conference April 24-26 at the Baymont Inn and Suites in Bremerton.





Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.

Might as well say, "god teleports them out of sight and out of danger - poof!"

Methinks that there should be a drug test to attend aforementioned conference.

It would at least explain the whacked out stuff flowing from their mouths.

Also, they should have to be off of video games for 72 hours before speaking to the press.

Portals..... really......
