Is bigfoot real?

Question

I was not sure what category under which to classify this question. This was the most logical I could find.

I am looking for serious answers. Please don't respond if you aren't serious.

Answer 1

There is no proof he exists.

People have claimed to see him. People have also claimed to see Elvis after his death. People have also reported weather balloons as UFO's. Unsubstantiated sightings cannot be used as evidence. If that were the case then live Elvis, chupacabra, and leprachauns would all be classified as real.

People point to the footprints. Far too many hoaxsters making footprints for that to be used as evidence. On top of that, a footprint can be altered by natural forces so that a footprint from a normal animal looks like something different.

A previous post refers to DNA evidence found in scat/fecal remains. That would make the headlines of papers if it were true. The truth is that all tests in scat, blood, and hair of supposed sasquatch have yielded more mundane creatures such as elk but not a single test has uncovered an unknown creature's DNA.

There are the films and photographs. Once again we have too many hoaxsters to make this reliable evidence. Since not a single film or photo has showed a sasquatch in any detail, none of them are useful as evidence anyway. You could just as easily claim that the brown thing in the distance you could never really focus on was an alien of the genus wookie.

So far no expedition has brought any evidence. There have been motion activated cameras, stakeouts, arial surveillence, and all sorts of forrays into the woods and none of them have brought back any evidence.

We are at a point where the only thing that could possible count as evidence is an actual specimen, dead or alive. If dead, then it needs to be in fairly good condition. A film or series of detailed photographs from a biologist might swing the doubt to belief if they are good enough quality.

Now is any of this evidence that Bigfoot does not exist? No. However, the science cannot declare him real without first getting proof. That is why science works. If that were not the case then we would never learn anything new. Science would turn into a world of fairies and unicorns.

Answer 2

Yes,it might be.In Nat Geo "Is It Real" they showed that famous video of Bigfoot.Other than this eye witness,evidence has been found,like huge fossilzed and non-fossilized foot foot prints.The non fossilized foot prints has been collected by a process in which a white liquid is put on the ground of a forest where bigfoot has been spotted,and sometimes bigfoot steps on it,and the liquid hardens over time as a huge footprint.Other than these no evidence were found.Some scientists say that bigfoot is an old primate,which has almost become extinct,and for which only a few has been spotted.Other scientist say that it has already become extinct,because of its small population,for which they failed to mate and produce enough young to last their generation.

If you want to prove that they exist you can always become a cryptozoologist.

Answer 3

I am a biologist and while there is no substantial proof to the positive, there have been sufficient sighting (mostly untrained observers) in several countries of the world. We discovered tracks on Mt. Everest but made no sightings. In Hunan Province of China, there is another creature that is sometimes seen...the terrain is rough and the bamboo groves in the northern part of the province make observations difficult...around Zhanjiejia. The story has persisted for many years but it is strange that we haven't located a partial skeleton. In China, farmers report this things to Public Security...not take photos to the media...and many stories are discounted as the observers are simple farmers and what they might have seen or been frightened by are not 'Bigfoot', "Yeti" or the Hunan Wild Man. Here in Asia, the terrain is extreme but not much better in the forested areas of America. Bigfoots have been observed in every state in the US and many areas of Canada. Is there something? I don't know yet.

Answer 4

It actually is possible. I watch something on either Discovery Channel or History Channel. It a type animal that may still exist in Argentina in the Southern part. They know from the Dung samples what it ate and looked around the area where all this type food would be today and that where everything was for it to have the things it ate. I not remember the name. I look and see if I find an Article for you. This may not be what we think of as Big Foot but here it is;
Digging For The Truth : Giants of Patagonia. Aired on Tuesday October 03 02:00 AM
Many explorers throughout the centuries, including the great Ferdinand Magellan, visited the region in South America now known as Patagonia and reported sighting giants. From these accounts we get the name "Patagonia"--Land of the Big Feet.

Answer 5

i in my opinion have not seen any authentic conclusive data that a "bigfoot" exists. we are residing in a international with HD video cameras, satellite tv for pc surveillance, and computerized maps, i detect it odd that there is no longer one sparkling video of bigfoot from all of us. With Photoshop, any video or photo might want to be altered. you in basic terms can't take a persons' be conscious or a blurry photo as data constructive of a bigfoot residing among us.

Answer 6

Oh yeah totally. He lives around the Pacific Northwest where I used to live. They have alot of evidence for it. But if you think of it he wouldn't have been made up unless someone saw him right. That's my philosophy, but the one main pic that someone took of him I don't think it is real but it depends. Just like the Loch Ness monster I think it is real. That or I'm gullable. lol

Answer 7

well I got a 13 1/2 foot 4eeee.. thats a bigfoot.
shaq got a size 25? bigger foot...

but no animal bigfoot--sorry makes good reading-but fictions..mr yeti also... nessie too.

Answer 8

I dont think so, at this day and age we would have found some solid evidence by now.

Answer 9

I think Big foot is real, but i think we should let it live its life and quit trying to hunt and kill it.

Answer 10

No. No evidence, other than eyewitness, has ever been found. If these creatures really exist, why have we never found any remains?
