How often do you really see 'fossil' evidence of any creature in the forest? Honestly. I have lived in many different places that all contained a decent population of deer, never once did I see a carcass, some shed antlers on rare occasion but no bones.

I saw a video at one point (looking for it now) that showed how fast a critter decomposes. It only takes a few weeks for everything to return back into the soil. Combine that with the -possibility- that these things might either bury or maybe hide their dead and you have a very good explanation as to why there are no friggin fossils.

Even if it is illegal to kill Bigfoot, it is not necessarily something that could always be avoided, especially in some cases that I have heard. People have said they have been attacked by Bigfoot, if they shoot it, wouldn’t that be self-defense. Although I suppose certain people would send the person to jail for murder. After all we just have to protect Bigfoot at all costs.

Also some people say that bigfeet are generally shy in some case. Also that bigfoot attacking people this is right. Go on the search engines and place in "Ape Canyon".

I personally am a believer. I just don't think that so many cultures all over the world could think up exactly the same creature without it actually existing. I mean, we have bigfoot in america - it was a legend long before europeans came hear - yeti in the himalayas and all of these bigfoot-like creatures all around the globe. almost every culture has a bigfoot story...

Almas - Mongolia
Barmanou - Afghanistan and Pakistan
Ebu Gogo - Flores Island, Indonesia
Fear liath - Scotland
Fouke Monster - Fouke, Arkansas
Hibagon - Japan
Kapre - Philippines
Karakoncolos - Turkey, Bulgaria
Momo the Monster - Missouri
Người Rừng - Vietnam
Old Yellow Top - Canada
Orang Mawas - Malaysia
Orang Pendek - Sumatra, Indonesia
Skunk Ape - Florida
Woodwose
Yeren - Hubei, China
Yeti - Tibet
Yowie - Australia

You know what waterboy you brought up a very interesting topic. Why is it that the creature has been seen all around the world? Also it is just not modern people who have claimed to see them. Native tribes all around the world have said they have seen the creature.

Good point. You don't see zebras or llamas or kangaroos everywhere in the world, do you? Must be a story...

Actually the desciptions have differences in them. The Skunk Ape is said to have a reddish orange hair color and smell really bad. The Northwest sasquatch is said to be bigger and covered in a more chocolate brown colored hair.
Some yeti reports say the creature has white hair. Bigfoot could be a number of subspeices like saying a warbler is a type of bird.

You can clearly see the head swivel quickly back as it looks away from the camera halfway through the footage.

It does

it just turns its body like anything does

Fossil evidence exists for Gigantopithecus, which was essentially a species of giant orangutans.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigantopithicus

Giganto lived concurrently with homo erectus in Asia and is estimated to have gone extinct 300,000 years ago. It's possible a relict population made it into North America across the Bering land bridge. Humans didn't make it into North America until 14000 years ago. Cripes, there was an isolated population of woolly mammoths on Wrangel Island in the Arctic Ocean until 1700 BC.

And yet after centuries of stories nobody anywhere has found one, in any tangible form.

You can scratch Momo the Monster off your list, That happened around here over 30 years ago, & nothing since, so obviously that was just a hoax or a pigment of someones imagination.

Now,I have a question;
What do they eat??
Do they eat nuts & berries???-- What do they do in cold climates when there are no nuts & berries??
Would fish be part of their diet???----- Why would one not be seen on the rivers in the Northwest, Especially when Salmon are moving upstream, You see on TV lots of bears feasting on Salmon, Why wouldn't a Bigfoot be there getting an easy meal also??
So maybe they eat carrion, that seems like the only logical thing I can think of.

Hunters have very good camoflage, they sit in trees, but they never see one, unless Bigfoot has a better nose than other animals. & almost everybody has a cellphone & 1000s of those phones have cameras, yet no one that claims to have seen a Bigfoot has got a picture that way.

quote--"I just don't think that so many cultures all over the world could think up exactly the same creature without it actually existing.'

Well; Nobody has found a Cyclops, a Minotaur, a Unicorn, a Roc, or a Centaur either.

I think it would be a migratory thing. That at some points in the year they come off mountains and go into more edible habitat. No one knows. One thing that struck the scientific community was that the Ivory-Billed Woodpecker was rediscovered in Arkansas after 40 years of being called extinct. It only proofs that there are many things the human race hasn't completely discovered or re-discorvered(considering Bigfeet maybe evolutionized Gigantopithicus) everything in the world.

It was just recently discovered that grizzlies can consume 40,000 moths in one day to maintain a 20,000 calorie a day diet when food becomes scarce.

Orang Mawas - Malaysia

I just want to add that another more humorous name for it here is "hantu jarang gigi" (ghost with widely spaced teeth). "Orang mawas" translated into "ape people".
Also, the last time the sighting peaked here is right after the King Kong movie was released and National Geographic shown a documentary about bigfoot.
