    Bigfoot, Lochness, Champ, Chupacabra, etc... It is amazing these things still get media coverage. A high school biology education level should be enough to show this is fucking ridiculous.

    Not to be the atypical conspiracy theorist, but there are new species of animals discovered all the time. There's also a lot of animals that people think are extinct and then they pop up (did we forget bout the celicant?). Not saying "Holy shit, these guys found big foot!", just saying that a "High school biology education" isn't enough to discredit the idea of there being a big foot type creature. Its improbable that big foot exists, not impossible.

    Yeah, but many of the yet-undiscovered animals out in the world have one thing in common: they're in places people don't go. Like the ocean floor. Or the deep rain forest. Not Georgia.

    I'll agree that its not IMPOSSIBLE, but it's about as close as you could possibly be to it. Any creature of the size that bigfoot is reputed to be would be easily noticeable, first off. By now it would be a slim chance one would not wander into human contact and be shot/hit by a car, or even that the corpse of one would turn up (it would have happened long before 2008).

    Based on the description of it, it would resemble a species of bipedal primate close to that of early man (though a lot friggin bigger). Humans had already evolved into what they are now before arriving in the Americas, thus for this to be real would suggest that it migrated with them while not leaving any fossil record behind. Find me a source where they find early human fossils and almost 8 foot tall human relatives together in the same area, in America.

    Next, for them to not go extinct they would obviously need to have a steadily thriving population in order to stay around for tens of thousands of years. A population that would suffice is hard to say, but it would certainly have to be relatively large. Even if it were numbering in the hundreds at this point there would be concrete evidence. Bigfoot "sightings" also are found all across the U.S. and America, an enormous territory. The chances of an 8 foot tall man-ape living in a territory that big without a corpse, fossil evidence, or concrete human interaction turning up is beyond unlikely.

    Lastly, a celicant is a deep sea fish, and you cannot compare the ocean, especially the deep sea, to land in terms of undiscovered species. The only ecosystem on land that is even CLOSE to the ocean in terms of undiscovered species is the rainforest and even that pales in comparison.

    Damnit Parshias, you got me on the last part of my explanation. I was taking too long to type.

    This is where their ploys at making money will fail. The more interested in Bigfoot you are, the less chances there are that you're literate.

    Wish it wasn't 1:30AM, or I'd make a simple graph to show this relationship.

    QFT.
    I know new species are discovered all the time but i find it impossible to believe something THAT BIG would have gone undiscovered in the middle of the States >.>

    You know I used to have this dead frog who would just lay there all day whenever other people were around. But the second I was alone with him he would get up and start singing and dancing with a little top hat and cane.

    Bigfoot is not only literate, he writes his own memoirs.

    DNA testing is over with and it turns out some samples were opossum, some samples were human.

    In short, it was a fake to promote the guys website.

    Source? As much as I did not believe this I was curious to see what the samples turned out to be.

    Biscardi claims the DNA samples were taken incorrectly. Um yeah...

    Now they are gonna perform the autopsy on the "body".

    Everyone's claims that it is a costume reminds me of that Simpsons episode where Marge says to Homer that Lisa tried to dissect her own raincoat. This is like that only not funny.

    That would be awesome if they made some exclusive TV special out of it like that hoaky alien autopsy years ago lol.
