why bigfoot doesn't exist

 Bigfoot is huge these days. Hes a bono fide rock star. The Sasquatch has become a mascot for our times, with major sightings, the first ever on-screen celebrity interview, and a full-length bronze statue in his honor. Though I've always been a fan of Bigfoot's mystique and its hallmark unexplained case files, the lack of concrete evidence still has me on the fence.

The search for Bigfoot has been going on for decades now with no body to show for it (no pun intended.) While I don't need a body to believe in Bigfoot's existence, I'm certain that proof positive will come in the form of a corpse. In my opinion, if we don't have that by now then we probably never will.

This is where the ongoing dispute between Bigfoot enthusiasts and skeptics come in. While skeptics look to Bigfoot DNA, and see it as a way to prove the legend's existence, believers look to physical evidence such as footprints and hair samples. Bigfoot enthusiasts claim without any real evidence that this absence of tangible proof is simply because there is no such thing as Bigfoot. Skeptics dismiss this claim on the grounds that there are plenty of physical anomalies in nature which exist but are not yet proven. I believe that what we have here is a classic case of ignorance vs. education.

Reasons why bigfoot doesn't exist. (From a skeptic's point of view)

1) No bigfoot has been caught or killed so far and yet we usually find dead animals with ease.

2) All the photographs and videos of bigfoot are not of any good quality so it's hard to see for sure if it's really a bigfoot or just a human in costume.

3) The sightings could be mistaken sightings of other things like bears, people wearing costumes, and/or novelties like changes in temperature that causes nuts to grow on trees along animal trails.

4) Continuing deforestation is causing more animals to move into areas where they have not lived before which is why many people might mistake them for being something new like bigfoot.

5) The "new" sightings might just be a few weird people who read the same books as the other people in their area.

6) There is not enough evidence to support that bigfoot exists (so no autopsy or DNA samples are taken).

7) Bigfoot could be a hoax by someone who just wants attention.

Reasons why it could exist:

1) They are not of human origin and they have been here longer than humans have. There is evidence from rock paintings and wood carvings of people with antlers and shaggy hair being around much longer than humans.

2) It has been speculated that a bigfoot is an undiscovered species of a giant ape that could be a possible missing link between humans and other animals like apes. Yet the supposed ape looks very human with many human features including fingers, toes, eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and even hair (hair on the head and arms).

3) Some have said that it's related to ghosts and other paranormal activity.

4) Many people believe bigfoot is actually an alien living on Earth. The bigfoot sightings have been reported all over North America along with UFO sightings being reported in these areas also. Many people who claim to have seen both bigfoot and UFOs think they are linked together somehow.

What Is A Sasquatch

What Is a Sasquatch? Sasquatch is a legendary ape-like creature reportedly sighted throughout North America. The term sasquatch comes from a Native American language meaning "hairy man" or "wild man", the creature's English name is also derived from this. Although it may be difficult to define, there are many characteristics that are associated with sightings of Sasquatches, including large footprints, seven-toed tracks in the snow and mud; six-fingered hands; a bowed torso; dark reddish-brown hair color and skin tone, and very large eyes with white sclerae.

Where does Sasquatch live?

Sasquatch is believed to live in the Pacific Northwest, mostly in western Canada, Washington state, and Oregon. Sasquatch is an American Indian name for the legendary ape-like creature of Native American folklore. The name is derived from "Sata" (Sioux) and "Quts", which means "wild man". Some also believe it's native to the whole United States and Canada. Throughout the northwest part of the country, there have been a large number of sightings and footprints have been found from Sasquatches.

What do they eat?

There are many factors that contribute to what Bigfoot may feed on or survive off of, such as vegetation; insects; fish/animals; berries, fruits, or nuts. Because there have not been known sasquatches captured or killed by humans we can't be certain as to what they will actually eat or survive off of. That being said, there are a few items that people believe could make a decent meal for a sasquatch. One of those items is wild game. Wild game has many uses, uses that would be beneficial for both humans and sasquatches. Wild game can provide food for the sasquatch.

What does a sasquatch sound like?

A variety of reports about sasquatches have been given, and it is a mystery as yet to be solved. One type of sound that has been reported or believed by many is a "whinny" or low-frequency series of sounds, similar to a deep growl with the "humming" sound in between. Whether these sounds are produced naturally or due to some other cause is unknown.

How big are they? How fast can they move?

There have been those who claim that Sasquatches are the size of humans, however, this is not true. Most agree that they are generally eight feet tall, but possibly larger. They are also said to be very strong, and athletic beings. Only a few people have seen a Sasquatch in the wild and managed to get a picture or a recording of a Sasquatch. The only way we can really know what they are if we actually catch one or shoot one.

Do they have any enemies?

There have not been specific animals, but there are some animals that would attack them, such as wolves, bears, mountain lions, and coyotes. However, these animals may not be their only assassins. Because there aren't many known sasquatches it is possible that man could be their only enemy. Also, it is possible that humans could possibly hunt them for their fur or meat.

Do they communicate?

This is another question that remains a mystery, although it is believed that Sasquatches have a form of language. If so, what language it may be is yet to be determined. Sasquatches have been documented to use different vocalizations, from sounds similar to a bird call to a "knocking" noise. Although the sounds may seem unintelligible, it is possible that they could be a form of language. Sasquatches are said to be very intelligent, and because of this, if they ever decide that humans are their enemy then there would be no stopping them. They are also said to be fast and agile, and very strong. Their strength is comparable to that of a gorilla.

Are they really intelligent?

Sasquatches are very intelligent, and this is reflected in the way they communicate with humans. Some have come forward to say that they believe sasquatches are indeed intelligent, as well as very emotional. What these people do not understand is that Sasquatches are also very practical in nature. They see animals and humans for what they are and do not have any interest in either.

Sasquatch's are also resourceful, as well as cunning. They know that they are outnumbered by humans and other animals, but like the animals they are, they will do whatever is necessary to stay alive. Sasquatches are very wise and do not take any action lightly.

Sasquatch Encounter

Sasquatch is a bigfoot-like creature described in folklore. The mythical beast is said to resemble a large, hairy human with an opposable thumb on its feet and is most often reported in the Pacific Northwest states of the United States and Canada. Although sightings of sasquatch are still recorded today, there is no proof that the creature exists outside of legend or hoax. Sasquatch encounters are strange phenomena that continue to pose a conundrum for cryptozoologists and researchers alike. While there are many eyewitness accounts of sasquatch sightings in the Pacific North West, scientific evidence that these creatures actually exist has yet to be presented, leading most to dismiss them as a myth. 

However, some people subscribe to the idea that the sasquatch is a relict species of some kind. Resembling a human with an opposable thumb on its feet and weighing up to 1,000 pounds, sasquatch is usually depicted as a thickly built dark-brown hominid keeping to itself and living in remote wooded areas. Usually nocturnal, it is most active at dusk or dawn when one might potentially encounter the beast. The sasquatch is not seen too much by humans, either. The mythical animal rarely interacts with people except when defending its own territory or eating presumably.

A list of characteristics that are known to be present during Sasquatch encounters include:

 1) Bigfoot is said to be nocturnal 

 2) Bigfoot encounters are often times associated with a strong odor/foul stench. Usually described as rotting food/garbage mixed with wet dog. No one seems to be able to identify exactly what this odor might be, but it's very distinctive. 

3) Bigfoot is said to hunt small animals like squirrels, rabbits, and mice.

4)The elusive creatures have been known to knock over/rip up tents and sleeping bags on occasion. Probably searching for food.

5) Sasquatch has been known to produce a loud knocking sound.

6) Sasquatch is said to dematerialize. Blending into the surroundings at will. 

7) Bigfoot has been known to lurk in and around human campsites after the subjects have left. Studying the tracks or signs left behind by the intruders.

8) Sasquatch has been known to make loud noises, running around barking or growling before/during an encounter. In some cases, it's even said that sasquatch can be heard talking. 

9) Bigfoot is said to have large feet in proportion with its body size. 

10) Sightings of sasquatch are often accompanied by large amounts of hair.

11) Humanoid; covered with hair; bipedal; intelligent; sasquatch is said to be very fast and agile when fleeing or running away from a potential threat. 

12) Sasquatch is said to have an extremely powerful grip strength; capable of crushing, twisting, and snapping bones like twigs or branches in its hands.

13) Bigfoot's diet consists of mostly plants, fruit, and roots that it forages for on the ground and from trees in its environment.

In conclusion, if you happen to encounter a bigfoot, slowly back away and leave the area as quickly as possible. If you can't back away fast enough, try to get as far away from it as possible. Do whatever you can to keep yourself safe. Stay calm and don't panic. Once you're out of sight, try to find a place to hide until it's light out again. From there, you can follow tracks left behind and continue the search for answers. Better safe than sorry! 

The Yeti

What is the Yeti? The Yeti (/ˈjɛti/),[1] also known as Meh-Teh in Himalayan folklore, is an ape-like beast purported to inhabit the Himalayan mountain range in Asia. In western popular culture, the creature is usually referred to as the Abominable Snowman. Supposed evidence of the Yeti's existence constitutes anecdotal visual sightings, disputed video recordings, photographs, casts of large footprints, etc. Some of these are speculated or known to be hoaxes.

Folklorists trace the origin of the Yeti to a combination of factors including Sherpa folklore and misidentified fauna such as bear or yak. Mainstream science has largely discredited the Yeti's existence for these reasons. Much like Bigfoot, a similar alleged creature said to reside in North America, the Yeti has become an icon of cryptozoology and a part of modern popular culture. To date, no evidence of the Yeti has been independently verified by scientists.

The scientific community has universally rejected the idea of a large, hairy, non-human creature located in the Himalayas. The World Conservation Union (IUCN) lists the Yeti in its "Green Book" as an "urban legend". The British Association for the Advancement of Science (BAAS) calls the Yeti "a non-existent animal". Cryptozoologists and other enthusiasts reject these statements, citing alleged sightings from all over the world and claims of Himalayan footprints as evidence.

The origin of the Yeti claims appears to be in Nepal. The term "Yeti" is an amalgamation of the Nepalese words for "abominable snowman" (kuswa-ling) and is a reference to Sherpa folklore. The Sherpa people are a Tibetan ethnic group. The name "Sherpa" stems from Sherwa, meaning "east" in Tibetan. Sherpas are most closely related to the Kham Tibetans, but live in the Solukhumbu District of Nepal. They speak the Sherpa language, which belongs to the Tibetan branch of the Sino-Tibetan language family.

A Yeti is traditionally depicted as having a broad face and a rounded nose with wide-set eyes. The Yeti is substantially larger than most other indigenous bears found in Asia: it is usually described as being between 5 feet (1.5 m) and 10 feet (3.0 m) tall. The Yeti is also reportedly covered with dense fur, a trait that is characteristic of its presumed bear-like relatives in the genus Ursus.

In Indian mythology, the Yeti is a snow-demon. In Nepal, it is considered a spirit of ruggedness. The creature is rarely seen, and the locations associated with it are secret. Yeti sightings are also reported in Bhutan and Tibet (where it is known as the Migo). While some of these sightings and recordings have been debunked as hoaxes, casts of reputed "yeti footprints" from the Himalaya have been handed down from generation to generation as authentic artifacts. Well known sites that document footprints include Taklakot, Gokyo Ri, and Pangboche.

Cryptozoology is the study of hidden animals and was the creation of British zoologist Bernard Heuvelmans (1916-2001). Heuvelmans created the term cryptozoology in the early 1950s as a subdiscipline of zoology. The word, derived from Greek, means "hidden animals" (crypto-) and (-zoos).

Heuvelmans used cryptozoology to cover not only recently discovered animals but also any animal which has ever been suggested to exist but for which there is little or no evidence. This includes legendary creatures such as the Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot, the Himalayan Yeti, and Yowie man, as well as extinct species such as the dinosaur. In its most extreme form, it may include even forms of life that have never been suggested to exist at all in modern times.

Bigfoot Skeptics

Bigfoot skeptics are people who believe that Bigfoot does not exist. They argue that there is a lack of evidence to prove the existence of Bigfoot. Skeptics also say that there are many hoaxes of Bigfoot being caught on camera. Skeptics claim that sightings of Bigfoot are misidentifications of other animals, such as black bears. They also argue that Bigfoot is a combination of several smaller animals combined to make one big animal.

Bigfoot skeptics say that the lack of fossil evidence is proof that Bigfoot never existed. They believe that most people who believe they have seen Bigfoot are confused and are seeing things. Skeptics also say that most people who claim to have seen Bigfoot are just looking for attention. Cynics also say that people who claim to have encounters with Bigfoot are just looking for a good story, or they are using Bigfoot to get their names in the news. Doubters say that there has never been an actual picture or video of a real Bigfoot.

Bigfoot skeptics say that people who claim to have captured Bigfoot are lying. They say that people who claim to have captured Bigfoot on camera are easily fooled by things like bears, and sometimes they pretend to be Bigfoot in order to get money or attention. Cynics also say that some creature calling itself Sasquatch is a man in an ape mask, not the real thing at all. Some doubters study photos and videos of supposed Sasquatch and find that the video footage was shot at the same time as some other animal. Critics also say that hoaxers use wires attached to their clothes so they can manipulate their images on a camera. Skeptics say that this is the most common hoax used by those who claim to have captured Bigfoot. 

People who are skeptical say that if there was a real Bigfoot kept in captivity, it would be easy to prove. Skeptics think that if the government had a real Bigfoot in captivity, they would bring him out. Skeptics believe that the people who tell stories of having encounters with Bigfoot are mostly men making up stories or women with mental problems believing what they see, or children making up a story or just getting into mischief and finding it interesting and fun to lie about stuff like this. Bigfoot skeptics do not believe that Bigfoot exists. They say that such creatures do not exist and there is no concrete evidence that they exist. Some skeptics believe that Bigfoot does exist, but it is just a legend or a myth. These skeptics do not believe Bigfoot exists, but they do agree that the legend is interesting.

A common idea in the skepticism community is that reports of Sasquatch sightings and encounters are the result of primates concealed in bushes or trees. Proponents of this theory describe a primate such as a spider monkey, chimpanzee, or gibbon (the last two being common in North America) being seen from an angle that conceals its hands and feet, thus giving the impression of a "man-ape" type creature. 

According to proponents of this theory, many witnesses have spotted these primates without realizing what they are seeing, and so turn Bigfoot into a "monster". There are numerous clips on YouTube which supposedly show spider monkeys (for example) perched in trees. Some skeptics dismiss these clips as inconclusive. A British researcher who has spent over 30 years investigating Bigfoot claims calls himself a skeptic when it comes to the subject but does not believe it is fake. He thinks that the lack of bones and carcasses found over the years is due to the fact that Sasquatch either decomposes very quickly or its remains are eaten by other animals such as bears or wolves.
