im just wondering, i just watched this sasquatch thing on the discovery channel, and ive been thinking about it a lot lately. ive watched the patterson fil lots of times and now that i think about it it seems kind of real.but wouldnt we have found like a body of sum sort?? if they breed, they should also die. and if there ahve been sighting for over 50 years, i think there would be sum dead bodies lying around. how come we have never found one before? and lots of people describe it differently. and the people who have claimed to have seen it mightve been hoaxed by a teenager or sumthing, and they might have not known it. i mean, thats sumthing that me and my friends would do, lol. =P please only serious answers.

that is totaly true. after the tsunami hit [sumwhere in asia??, lol i forgot] a dead fish washed up and they thot it was extinct.and also they find a new kind of primate every year. bigfoot happens to be very smart. kind of like a human, but it has the instict and cunning brain of an animal.

Many bigfoot sightings, like ghost sightings, are indeed hoaxes. People put them on because they feel the need to fool people, gain attention, or otherwise fulfill some ulterior motive.
These hoaxes then steal any credibility that may lie with genuine sightings or experiences.
To prove that bigfoot exists, someone is going to have to come up with a skeleton or a body, or a live creature.
If you are familiar with the way a body decomposes in nature, you'll know that finding remains of a sasquatch are highly unlikely. Scavengers and decomposition will quickly turn a corpse into a scattered, unrecognizable shramble in no time.
Don't believe me? How often are bear remains found in nature?

I believe that it exists. I haven't seen or heard of evidence in the contrary. If it was a hoax, how do you explain so many people around the world, even in primitive areas that don't have technology of any kind, seeing similar creatures but yet they had no way of telling each other about it to originate the story? There is so much of the world that has still not been discovered yet so how can you say what is real and what isn't? Even in the last 2 centuries there were animals discovered that people always thought were myths instead. I think it is incredibly arrogant to believe that we humans are the only intelligent species on the planet. Many animals are more intelligent than people even.
As far as never spotting any corpses, I'm sure they've been around long enough to adapt to their surroundings and they can hide pretty well if they so choose. Have you ever spotted an animal corpse laying random in the woods? Not likely. So the same is true for a sasquatch.

If you do some serious research into, you'll be surprised to find that the evidence is quite compelling.
Of course it's impossible to say without a body, but several prominent hominologists, such as Jane Goodall, accept the possibility.
There are a lot of good books out on the subject. Any of them will help you understand the topic better. Stay away from the kiddie books, but otherwise, go at it. One good, recent book is Bigfoot! by Loren Coleman. This is a pretty good book. http://www.amazon.com/Bigfoot-True-Story-Apes-America/dp/0743469755/ref=pd_bbs_sr_8?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1196712716&sr=8-8
Usually these books and all other evidence are anecdotal--you have stories from eyewitnesses and possibly pictures, such as those of a foot cast. There are very few pictures of Sasquatch, aside from the Patterson-Gimli video, that are very conclusive.
Stories of Sasquatch go very far back. It's in the Native American mythologies and there are early settler reports. So if it's only a hoax, it's a pretty big one. People still regularly see Sasquatch. Seen by a great variety of people that you would not expect to deliverately hoax.
So there's very little physical evidence. For myself, after studying it, I've concluded that Sasquatch does exist. But since there's still so many mysteries and very little physical evidence, I still view reports and things with a bit of skepticism.

Wonderful stuff that one more lot of 3 in a single to form over. If they do uncover any bones the ones scientists might be raving approximately the DNA and seeking to recreate the being. As for the poo, perhaps they're extra complicated than us and don't need to thank Mr Crapper for his invention. The Indians have a hen the "white eagle". In the UK? the Scots have their delusion, Nessy, who is living within the depths of Lock Ness. Seen most often after draughts in their liked malt whisky.

I don't think anybody knows one way or the other. I tend to believe that old stories have a bit of truth in them, so maybe there was one at one time and it died off. Or if there are more, maybe they bury their dead or have a hidden place for dying (like elephants do). If he is real, I hope they don't find him because he'll end up in a lab somewhere.

Great imaginations created many sightings of different monsters. I guess if any one got Drunk enough they would see them too. MYTH
