Any good documentaries on Big Foot?

>in b4 "b-but Sasquatch can't into REAL!"

Then you have ten seconds to explain the more than 400 sightings of Bigfoot in America alone since its founding.
>>
>400 "sightings"
>has never been captured or photographed up close
Are you retarded?

Does he just run away from these people? He's always pictured walking slow and lazily.
Why can't they catch him?

Maybe because he's a hoax.

If Bigfoot isn't real, why does Les Stroud believe it exists?

>>70326367
There is some precedent for what's called the North American Wood Ape. Small population, in the upper northwest, possibly in the Washington mountains/forests and may be nocturnal or just hidden/actively avoiding humans, not that there are many there anyway.

With a small population of like 50 individuals unless a large group of people were in that forest, which is giant, all the time, you'd basically never see one.
>>
What's with Americans and their retarded urban mythology? Why would an enormous giant monkey man dwell in a forest? Is it not more reasonable that it could be a bear or something like that?
>>
>>70326712
>With a small population of like 50 individuals
That's never survive for very long.

If it was bigger in the past, why weren't there encounters then?
Surely some native tribe would have had a Big Foot pelt or something. Something to suggest to the West that there was something other humans in the forest.

It likely is a bear.
Bears are plantigrage, like us. When they walk on their back legs, they look like a weird furry human.
Some sights were likely a bear walking upright.

It does happen.

Doesn't that look like bigfoot

It'd be novel to discover that the sasquatch is real, but odds are strongly against it. No fur caught on trees, no dead ones found, no spoor or signs of habitation... In a world chock full of motion cams, heat cams, and GoPros, there should have been a definite sighting/discovery of one by now.
I always thought it'd be neat if they were real and lived in the canopies of redwood trees and it turned out we just weren't looking in the right spot.

Well, considering the size of the forests and the relatively few individuals of the species, you'd probably never see the bones.

There are only two species of gorillas and both are made up of thousands of individuals.
Besides, people have in been in North America for thousands of years.

>>70327085
>bones
In the Washington State Forests a group of people camping rarely sees common animal bones or common dead animals. Bears and deer are even not seen that often. Now imagine an animal with like 100 individuals. You just wouldn't ever see them. And the few people that do spot them would be disbelieved.

Grizzly bears would be a comparable animal and find bones of them.

Western gorilla:
Western lowland gorilla (G. g. gorilla),
Cross River gorilla (G. g. diehli)
Eastern gorilla:
Mountain gorilla (G. b. beringei)
Eastern lowland or Grauer’s gorilla (G. b. graueri)

The Cross River gorilla is currently the world’s rarest great ape, with a population of only around 250-300 restricted to a small area of highland forest on the border of Cameroon and Nigeria.

>>70327209

Number of sightings, amount of large dense forests that just aren't explorable, land bridge that used to exist near it linking both continents, and more.

They'd be extinct with a few generations.
A population can never sustain itself with such small numbers.

That means that in the past they must have numbered in the thousands.
Why was there no contact when the population was that size?

Why do no tribes in the north west have a bigfoot as their totem?
No statues of them?
No stories? Just mythologies about wild men, but nothing about a real animal.

>>70327315
>They'd be extinct with a few generations.
>A population can never sustain itself with such small numbers.

That's completely wrong. Functional extinction can take thousands of years to occur if the animals are long lived and have strong genetics to begin with. 100 animals would be pretty strong for quite a while.
>>
>>70327259
You've listed 5 subspecies of gorilla but only two species.
Subspecies are barely recognized and can go "extinct" by being absorbed by a different population.
>>
>>70327315
>Why was there no contact when the population was that size?

There was. We have lots of names in Native American language for them. As well as a lot of other animals.
>>
>>70327343
Scots are drunk and retarded?
>>
>>70327353
A common way to decide is that organisms belonging to different subspecies of the same species are capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring, but they do not interbreed in nature due to geographic isolation or other factors.
>>
>>70327347
>if the animals are long lived
Long lived animals go extinct a lot faster because their reproductive rate is so low.
Look at all the other megafauna of the world.
The bigger they are, the faster they go extinct because the rate of repopulation is so slow that natural deaths accumulate much faster.
>>
>>70326976
Holy shit what the fuck.
If I hadn't read your post I'd think that was a mutant bear.
>>
>>70327422
>Long lived animals go extinct a lot faster because their reproductive rate is so low.

This isn't the case for apes, anon. Apes breed a lot and have a lot of young that live longer and are well protected/fit. A population of 100 animals living 30, or 40 years could sustain itself for a very long time, especially if breeding with parents and children occurred as well as with neighbors and neighbors children.
>>
>>70327417
So dogs in America are a separate subspecies to dogs in Europe?
>>
>>70327453
That depends. Did the dogs travel by land and were cut off by water, or did someone put them on a plane and take them there, you fucking idiot?

Of course dogs aren't geographically isolated when humans fucking own them, moron. I'm talking about wild animals.
>>
>>70327453
Dogs are a subspecies of wolf, not their own separate species.
>>

>https://youtu.be/kcIkQaLJ9r8?t=3s

This is seriously the creepiest thing I've seen in awhile. No clue why it bothers me so much.
>>
>>70327382
We have names of legendary creatures and monsters.
That's as much proof as proof of unicorns and dragons in Europe.

Like I said, many tribes in the pacific North West had a totemic belief system, hence the famous totem poles.
You can just about every type of animal on a totem somewhere.
But why no Big Foot?
The bear was thought to be special because of their similarities to humans.
Wouldn't a Big Foot be even more special and have an even greater place?

>>70326999

Oh wow, I remember this movie!

The hardcore sex scene with the bigfoot and the wife (and later daughter, and then later dog) really caught me off guard. I mean, it's a kid's film for fuck's sake.

I heard it was unsimulated. Did they get an actual sasquatch for this?
>>
>>70327532
They all described large hairy uncivilized creatures that lived in the woods and were active at night.

That could just be a nocturnal ape, and easily exist.
>>
So it's worth mentioning that the coelacanth was told in myth and legend for a long fucking time and was just a rumored extinct fossil fish.

And then it was discovered, directly.

We discover rare, hidden species all the time. They just aren't common or very easy to find.
>>
>>70327617
>They all described large hairy uncivilized creatures that lived in the woods and were active at night.
That sounds like a boogeyman to me.
Is the Krampus real then?

They described demons and monsters, not real animals.
Real animals they worshipped and drew art of.
Find me Native art of Big Foot.
>>
>>70327532
>Wouldn't a Big Foot be even more special and have an even greater place?

They hold very special places for Big Foot, even calling them psychic and give them magical powers.

>>70327670
>demons and monsters

Except the Thunder Bird is now being examined as a real large bird.
>>
>>70327644
>So it's worth mentioning that the coelacanth was told in myth and legend for a long fucking time
Complete bullshit.
Coelacanth was known exclusively to the fossil record.
There were no "stories".
Why would Europeans have stories of an African fish?

The natives knew all about it. It was just another type of fish.
The issue is that there were no educated palaeontologists who studied fish in African fish markets.
Until there was.

most of the sightings are fake/unreliable.

But the facts for sasquatch and other humanoid apes are there. Even native americans have stories from thousands of years ago about them.

Right now its probably nearly an extinct species tho. that why its so hard to spot.

It's about actual birds that were giant as fuck and probably alive when Native Americans were writing shit about THUNDERBIRDS. It's worth noting they didn't just seem to make up random fucking animals and monsters without having some sort of actual place in nature.
