This article is about the top ten reasons Bigfoot is not real. Bigfoot, often referred to as Sasquatch, is a big and hairy humanoid with a very special taste for the outdoorsy life. Some say Bigfoot is just an overgrown hominid. Others believe he's some sort of Yeti or animal-human hybrid. Some have even suggested that he's Santa Claus under all that hair. Despite the fact that there's no hard evidence to prove Bigfoot exists at all, a few people are still convinced he's out there... lurking in the shadows.
Bigfoot has been the focus of much controversy in recent years, as new researchers continue to search for proof of his existence. Regardless of the evidence, most academics believe that Bigfoot is purely a myth.
Some of the common traits of Bigfoot include:
- abundant body hair
- a long, hairy, ape-like face
- a body covered in dark reddish or brown hair
- wide, flat feet with 5 toes on each foot
- an unusually strong odor
- a large, low-set forehead
- a pronounced brow ridge above the eyes
How does Bigfoot live? Is he a territorial animal? Well, since there's no solid proof of his existence, we're not 100% sure. However, some experts say Bigfoot lives in forests and near streams (probably because he's into nature), and others insist that he resides within caves or swamps. It's also believed that he makes his home in the Northern California region of North America. He spends most of his time alone (or with other Bigfoots), but it's rumored that he occasionally resides with a family in the wilderness.
In any case, it's all just speculation and these are the 10 best reasons Bigfoot might not actually exist.
1.
Bigfoot is a hoax.
2.
If Bigfoot was real then there would be a lot
more verified sightings (i.e., multiple people who have seen the same exact
image or video footage).
3.
There are no records of Bigfoot sightings; therefore,
it is impossible for a creature to be living in North America today that hasn't
been seen before.
4.
There are many fake Bigfoot photos online and in
videos that have no resemblance to the Bigfoot creatures people believe exist.
5.
Bigfoot pictures are taken from a distance and
are blurry.
6.
Many Bigfoot sightings are from people who claim
that they saw Bigfoot walking through their back yard, etc… and ended up
spotting something else (i.e., a deer, dog, etc.). These claims look very
convincing on the surface but when you look in the background of these photos
or videos you can see that someone has been standing somewhere nearby for the
entire time that the sighting happens and is wearing something similar to what
people believe is a Bigfoot costume (e.g., over-sized pants, large boots with
tall heels).
7.
Bigfoot pictures are tricky because they have to
be staged so they can look like Bigfoot.
8.
In many cases, Bigfoot hunters are just looking
for a creature to find and photograph.
9.
There are many different types of animals who
live in North America which have similar attributes to what people identify as
the Bigfoot creature (i.e., height, weight, hair color, and length). These
animals include large primates and bears.
10. Most Bigfoot sightings come from Bigfoot hunters.
