Bigfoot: A Real Species

Well the question is this; how can we say something with so much evidence cannot outright exist. I have been watching a lot of documentaries on YouTube recently and am fascinated by the evidence gathered.

The Discovery Channel broadcast a show (the link to which I will provide) which states that "There are over 400 credible Bigfoot sightings a year" [1]. This is merely the start of a documentary which really cements the credibility of an unknown species of North American ape.

Looking first of all at footprints, and particularly at the distribution of footprint size, two experts have come up with some interesting conclusions. One, a man who works for a CSI team who examine the fingerprints and other skin detail of the footprint plaster casts concluded that they were genuine, non-human and unlike any ape he has ever examined. Bare in mind that if you watch the whole documentary, you will learn that he has examined plenty in his time.[2]

The second expert looked at the difference in footprint sizes, hoping to find either a staggered and random set of results (indicating a fake) or a bell-curve (which indicates a natural graph of a living species). He found the footprint sizes documented made a very decent bell curve. [2]

Then we must take into acount the Patterson-Gimlin Film [3] which, after numerous experts examined it, seems to have a very high chance of being authentic. There is apparent muscle movemtn beneath the skin and fur, the right thigh appears to be carrying what some experts describe as a hernia!

Also as, the expert describes, the bigfoot in the film is clearly female as it has a pair of very distinct breasts; why would Patterson construct an already difficult, if not impossible suit with breasts when Bigfoot reports have been predominantly male? [4]

Everything from the gait, the proportions and the aesthetic of creature apparently points to it being of natural origins and non-synthetic. Why, then, should it be so hard to believe that Bigfoot really DO exist? I'll leave you to watch the evidence as gathered in the below bibliography and make up your own minds about whether it is likely that North America is, indeed, home to the legendary Sasquatch.
