I saw this program called something like Hard Evidence and this episode was about Bigfoot. Now Bigfoot, Sasquatch, or what have you has interested me
since I picked up a book about him in elementary. This show of course went over the footprints, which one "expert" believes that a prankster made
the footprints because they are shaped like human feet. One other person working with apes states that the footprints show a cross between an ape foot
and a human foot. Like an ape foot the feet would bend in the middle to propel itself but doesnt use its human-like toes to propel itself. I have also
read that the footprints were indeed a hoax made by a man and his friend living in a rural area.
They also compared the famous footage of Bigfoot to an actor in a Bigfoot suit trying to replicate his actions. However, the Bigfoot in the
film, when it turns to look back at the camera it doesnt use its neck so much. It turns its shoulders because they are so massive, which is a common
trait in apes. The actor's motions in his replica of the footage wasnt as convincing.
Other scientists in the documentary also stated that an ape couldnt survive in the forests of North America and exclude the possibility of
adaptation.
I am not sure what to think of Bigfoot, some things resinate in my mind along with other legends so I keep my mind open to the possibility. If
he does exist I think he is dead and his carcass strewn throughout the woods from being devoured by other animals. I do believe in the Yeti also,
however I do have my skeptics.
