Bigfoot

As a quick summary of what Bigfoot is supposed to be for people who are not too familiar with it, it’s basically a very large bipedal, tall gorilla/ hominid-like creature. It’s typically said to be between six and 8 feet tall however there’s been plenty reports of 10 feet and even 12 feet tall. They have been estimated to weigh between 6 and 8 hundred pounds at the very least depending on the height and width. They are usually very muscular as well with wide shoulders and very long arms. The arms are proportionately much longer than human beings.

In the majority of cases of people who had Bigfoot encounters a very strong repulsive smell is associated with them. In fact one type of Bigfoot in the Florida swap lands is actually known as the stink ape or skunk ape. According to eyewitness accounts the smell is like a combination of wet dog, garbage, sulfur and in some cases rotting flesh. Either way the smell is not pleasant at all and often described as overwhelming to the point of sickening people

They are usually reported to be covered from head to toe in black or brownish red fur. The fur is usually reported to be not too long in length throughout the body however much shorter within the facial area. The shorter hair in the facial area makes sense because longhair would interfere with its eye sight. According to Bigfoot researchers they are able to communicate with each other through wood knocks, clapping stones together and howling to each other.

They are said to be very quick especially for the size, and masters of disguise. They are said to be able to disappear literally in the blink of an eye and also highly intelligent creatures as well. Without question they would have to be highly intelligent in order to have avoided human contact all these years so far. Theories as to why it is that they do not like human beings at all and would rather be left alone include the fact that they may have been hunted to near extinction by early man for food because of the size and taste of their meat.

Explanations that are typically given for the sightings include misidentification, hoaxes, fringe science, and psychological phenomena like optical illusions. The last few decades mainstream science has studied the phenomenon in order to explain it away, however without success...

Some of the main reasons why many scientists remain skeptical about Bigfoot or at least skeptical of the existence is because there’s no body yet found. If Bigfoot truly exists to date there’s not a single dead one that’s been found despite thousands upon thousands of available potential opportunities. So if they do exist how is it that not one has turned up dead? Well I think the answer comes down to several things.

For example, each time one of these creatures die they are likely to be consumed by scavengers, the elements... So it’s entirely possible that no dead creature has ever been found. Also it would be very difficult to find bones or some other remains because of the forested areas where most sightings occur. Plus there’s also the matter of getting an accurate identification on whatever remains were there. So for this reason alone it’s very nearly impossible for any body to ever be found even if they do exist.

Another explanation that I find more feasible is that perhaps Bigfoot may not be what people think they are... In other words they might not be a type of hominid at all... What I mean by this is that perhaps they are a type of new species altogether. For example, some have speculated that perhaps they are a species of hominid-like creature descended from a group of ancient humans who remained in isolation up until present days. These ancient humans were either from Atlantis, Lemuria or from some other civilization that existed long ago on earth.

In addition to this speculation, there’s also been some pure speculation that Bigfoot creatures could be the result of the government conducting biological weapons or mind control experiments back in the 1950s and 60s involving radiation and chemicals on individuals who were in prison camps... Also this could be the result of people reading into the Indian legend about Sasquatch that they are actually the soul of deceased soldiers who died in wars with Native Americans that were related to various tribes in North America.

It has also been suggested that Bigfoot sightings may be the result of ancient astronauts testing different types of technology on remote parts of earth with no one around to detect them... Or perhaps they are extraterrestrials themselves... This would all depend on whether or not you think it is possible for aliens to visit earth and if so why they would do so... Also there are many Bigfoot researchers that are firm believers that the creatures are not hominids at all, but that they are truly extraterrestrial. 

Another possibility is that Bigfoot might consist of two different species, one large and one smaller, which I personally think is a far more likely explanation... I mean if not for the hybrids of human and ape/monkey DNA there would be no possibility of two different species.

Then again this might cause more questions, so let me ask you this... If you were to develop a new species would you not want to take the time to explore through DNA specimens to determine what type of animal it is? I mean even if they are similar to other types of animals known today… So perhaps the answer has yet to be discovered.
