New Show About Bigfoot

06/07/2011

If you're a regular reader of this blog, you know that one of the topics I write about under the broad banner of "animal oddities" is cryptozoology.  Cryptozoology is the study of creatures unrecognized by mainstream science, whether they be totally undiscovered species, species known only through legend, or species that are officially listed as extinct but continue to be sighted. 

For me, cryptozoology is fun and fascinating.  While in my opinion most of cryptid sightings are probably misinterpretation or misidentification of known species and simply a reflection of the fact that most people are pretty uneducated when it comes to wildlife, it's fun to imagine a world populated with strange and unknown creatures.  And I must admit that there are a small number of sightings that seem credible and can't be otherwise explained by science.  As a naturalist I find the possiblity, however slim, that some of these creatures could be real exciting to think about.

Perhaps the most famous cryptid species of all time is the sasquatch, otherwise known as Bigfoot.  Sightings of this creature in North America go back centuries, but it began its path to stardom back in 1967 when footage of an unknown, upright, hairy creature was captured in California.  Today there are dozens of organizations, blogs, podcasts and Facebook pages dedicated to this animal (or is it a different species of human?). 

And I'm happy to report that there is a new Animal Planet series that recently premiered dedicated to understanding and perhaps discovering this ultimate cryptid.  The show is appropriately titled Finding Bigfoot.  If you're remotely interested in cryptozoology, you should definitely check it out.

Here are some teaser clips from the show, which airs Sundays at 10pm.

Use a tranquilizer on a squatch if you see one in the wild.

Today professional subtitlers usually work with specialized computer software and hardware where the video is digitally stored on a hard disk, making each individual frame instantly accessible. Besides creating the subtitles, the subtitler usually also tells the computer software the exact positions where each subtitle should appear and disappear.

In most prototypes, cells simply fill in the interior of the gastritis to form the mesosphere, called schizophrenics development, but in deuteron, it forms through insemination of the endothermic, called enterprising pouching.Deuteronomy also have a dorsal, rather than a ventral, nerve chord and their embryos undergo different cleavage. Thanks.

The scientific community typically attributes sightings to either hoaxes or misidentification of known animals and their tracks. While cryptozoologists generally explain Bigfoot as an unknown ape, some believers in Bigfoot attribute the phenomenon to UFOs or other paranormal causes. Thanks a lot.

[Idol White]

Various types of creatures have been suggested to explain both the sightings and what type of creature Bigfoot would be if it existed. The scientific community typically attributes sightings to either hoaxes or misidentification of known animals and their tracks. Thanks a lot.

[Dietrol]

The scientific consensus is that the breeding population of such an animal would be so large that it would account for many more purported sightings than currently occur, making the existence of such an animal an almost certain impossibility. Thanks a lot.

The Gigantopithecus hypothesis is generally considered entirely speculative. Gigantopithecus fossils are not found in the Americas. As the only recovered fossils are of mandibles and teeth, there is some uncertainty about Gigantopithecus's locomotion. Krantz has argued, based on his extrapolation of the shape of its mandible, that Gigantopithecus blacki could have been bipedal. Thanks.
