They exist.
They are flesh & blood primates. They are bi-pedal. Like any other higher primate, they have a rather high level of intelligence.
They tend to be reclusive and know how to move w/ a high degree of stealth.
Actually, there is a wealth of physical evidence. There are footprints w/ dermal ridges and sweat pores. The dermal ridges run in the opposite direction from human feet. Dermal ridges and sweat pores cannot be carved into wooden "fake prints".
There has been DNA samples done on hair. It comes back as "Un-classified primate".
Scientists who study human locomotion (how men & women walk) have examined the Patterson film. The subject does NOT walk like either a man or a woman. It has a unique walk called "the mountain gait".
There are no less then THREE men who claim to have worn a Hollywood-created suit on that day for Patterson to perpetrate a fraud. Must have been crowded in that suit! Maybe they were all Gay men?
The muscle groups can be seen moving under the skin in the Patterson film. The guy who did all the costumes & makeup for Planet of the Apes stated there was no techknowledgy in 1966 to get that effect.
Fecal matter has been collected. The issue is DNA Degrades in fecal matter in a few hours unless it's refrigerated. An adult BF leaves a pile of fecal matter that would fill a average size bucket! HOWEVER, they have found a unique parasite residing in the Fecal matter, which is unknown to other animals in the woods. Scientists have noted the "twisted shape" of the fecal pile is unique and unknown.
They are omnivorous. They like organ meat, especially deer liver. They will tear apart a deer to get the liver.
I do not think they are cannibals. I think they bury their dead. The woods and all the little nibblers in it will quickly reclaim a lone animal that drops dead.
See the BFRO Site: NJ 1971 Essex county for my siting report.
First of all you speak of bigfoot as if it is a real, proven to exist animal by stating all of your information in a factual way. Nothing you say is fact because bigfoot is not proven to exist. This being said everything you presented is opinion at best. Dermal ridges are in no way proof of a bigfoot track. These have been debunked several times, and have been recreated with a low degree of difficulty. You are correct in stating that dna samples have been analyzed from hair. You are in-correct in stating that they came back as unclassified primate. Dna samples do not come back as a simple phrase. Yes, those samples could come back as "unclassified", but that simply means contamination was present.
The Patterson film has been proven to be a hoax in more ways than one. Patterson was a known con man, with ties to the movie industry. Not only have the person wearing the suit come forward, but the people that made the suit came forward as well. The entire story can be read using a simple google search. The "mountain gait" is a term used in the horse world and is not exclusive to bigfoot. I have seen the patterson film numerous times and no muscle groups can be seen moving under the skin. Believers will see what they want to see. As far as fecal matter is concerned, dna does degrade in fecal matter fairly fast, and fecal matter has been found that was attributed to bigfoot, but that in no way means that it was from a bigfoot. To my knowledge the information about the parasite is heresay and a "credible" link to more information about that would be appreciated.
Any information about what they eat, how they eat or how many their are is also not credible as no evidence exists to substantiate those claims. That is all just a matter of believers opinions about something that has never been proven to exist. Also, for bigfoot reports to come from every state in the nation, and most every country in the world I would say that the population has to be far greater than 6000 animals. They also must of superhuman powers to be able to avoid trail cameras and all the high tech equipment being used today.
