Wow, you must be a scientist. Since you are you probably know how long a large carcass would last in the wild?

(answer) Scavengers, maggots, etc … can strip a deer down to nothing in about seven days depending on conditions so finding bones is about as likely as finding Noah’s Ark.

Plus some primates have been known to bury their dead to keep scavengers from finding them. We do, why wouldn’t others?

I’m guessing since your preference is for cold, hard scientific evidence you don’t believe in a god nor could you be religious. Or does your need for proof fade in and out as need be?

You also said:

“As there has never been a Bigfoot body or skeleton found, I believe that such a creature has never existed.”

Ever heard of Gigantopithecus? Look it up. I assume all your research comes from wiki so start there but if you want to see bones, we got ‘em.

A rare few scientists are willing to suggest that gigantopithecus might have learned to live alongside man, taking the land we didn’t want. But most scientists are cowards right? I mean, they live and die by reputation and approval of other scientists so to support such an idea could be career suicide. What if the others scientists laughed?

You might find it interesting that several American Indian tribes have been carving “Sasquatch-like” characters into totems and passing down stories about them long before Europeans came here. They also say there is more than one species of hairy, humanoid beasts. Some are tall, some taller and some are much shorter than us. But what do they know, right? They only live in the land we don’t want as well.

Bottom line: who cares what you believe? Do some real research before you write one of these safe, tepid pieces. And don’t forget to use your spell-check, you misspelled “rumours.” I thought a serious, scientific writer such as yourself would want to know.

What are your reasons for believing in Bigfoot?
