A Bigfoot thread? Nice. Please read and respond... would like to know your thoughts on my take.
After years of (again) scouring online, reading texts, watching countless TV documentaries, and of course, making own conclusions, this is what I can say as "my own" facts about Bigfoot (poor man's expedition... exploration while seated down):
1. Bigfoot can be found all over the world in different regions.They are the same creature but localized to suit the environment they are in (e.g Yeti is said to white due to mountainous terrain, normal Bigfoot are brown/dark brown/black, there are also some that are skinnier, shorter, etc.).
2. Bigfoot species is *drum rolls*Gigantopithecus blacki. An ancient ape. Why? After numerous hits of the same information I scoured with same evidence of what these creatures could do (including the posture which goes away from being on all fours, instead, the posture is said to be upright/bipedal). NO full skeletal of Gigantopithecus has ever been found. Only a skull. A big, giant skull. Mapping the skull structure to the ratio of the body it would be on, it is said to stand upto 3.0 metres ! Tallies with eyewitness description of monstrous height. Now that... is monstrous. Hey, who said everything that supposedly went extinct disappeared completely? Even Orang Pendek is a confirmed extinct species of bipedal (which locals claim to still see).

3. Why not Bigfoot carcass / dead body?Now this is where it gets interesting. Forget about what an animal usually does for a minute. Now think of a human. When a human dies (hey, we are after all... *apes*), we bury the dead. I have theorized that Bigfoot bury the dead, on unmarked graves. Numerous Bigfoot expeditions have pointed out strange "X" like branches strung from trees - - I would seriously consider digging the ground under this "X" (all can Google search, it is all there... seriously
http://www.bigfootphenomena.webs.com/types.htmlhttp://www.nabigfootsearch.com/Bigfootsightings.html).
You are most likely to find an entire skeletal structure of Gigantopithecus in these ground area.
4. Since Bigfoot bury the dead, can they "speak"? When we say speak, we mean communicating with words. Bigfoot communicate. With words (!) Don't worry, the words are still very much ape like but I did read somewhere (like a week ago) where a long 'conversation' between two Bigfoot arguing over food was recorded and analyzed by a professor. The sound was said to be a lot ape like (think deep voiced chimpanzee) but it had much, much more variation and subtlety. This is nothing short of magnificent.
5. OK, so where are they? So big yet keep hiding?I said before to forget about what an animal usually does. Does not apply here. Animals protect themselves by hiding. They defend their territory and attack when provoked. Hey, Bigfoot does the same. As with all sightings, Bigfoot tend to "walk away" and some "run away so fast for its size". And then there are others - - Bigfoot is a bit of a rock thrower. It is said that Bigfoot would throw large rocks at you to keep you away from its territory. I'm just pulling the resource from Google as I have read it before from different sources:
http://www.bfro.net/GDB/show_report.asp?id=11702But NEVER has a Bigfoot reported to physically attack a man ! Very interesting. And smart to not have ever done so. They have shaken caravans, thrown rocks and howled but never directly attacking a human.
6. Bigfoot have PO box? They live in caves. This much I can tell. Caves with nice giant rocks that they push to close the entrance to a smaller cave dwelling. They are, cave dwellers. No one has ever seen a Bigfoot settlement, because I truly believe, they search the forest for food and go right back into their cave. Their caves are remote, hidden from sight and also closed with a big rock. A door. Made of rock.
Imagine stumbling into a cave dwelling with dozens of Bigfoot. Oh oh... you better run. Just the sight of monstrous 2.0-3.0 metre tall hairy beings rushing towards you. That is downright scary.
7. Have we seen Bigfoot? Yes. The infamous Patterson footage is REAL. Now, believe me, for many years I truly believed the footage is absolute fake. I mean, come on, it is clear as day it is a man walking in an ape suit. I watched on TV a documentary that changed it all - - the one on Nat Geo (I think it is Mystery 360: Bigfoot Revealed). They asked Patterson's wife and took a direct copy of the footage (the original footage is stored in a bank vault since Patterson died). Frame-by-frame, they stabilized it. The end result - - a human couldn't possibly establish the physical ratio of the Bigfoot. They even went the next step and hired a tall actor to play the role of the Bigfoot, re-enact the sequence to see if a human could fit the ratio. He couldn't. You should watch it, please do so. I became a true believer of the Patterson footage. Forget about the man that claimed he walked the suit and all, right until the dying days of Patterson he still swore the footage was real. And by the way, it is said to be a female Bigfoot due to certain characteristics. Ape experts that believe the footage is real also claim it is a female bipedal ape.
8. So, after thousands of years, homo sapiens and Gigantopithecus lived together?The answer is yes. Some ancient cultures fear them, others revere them, and then some call them the giants. One way or another, home sapiens did live with Gigantopithecus. Apparently as the human population grew, they were ousted. They became reclusive and hid well away from men.
That's it. That is all I know about Bigfoot - - an ancient living ape. Smart, powerful and very reclusive.
We are yet to find a body of a Bigfoot or a carcass.
Hey, didn't we discover Gorillas in 1930 ! (That's 80 years ago... during the days of Titanic, Gorillas were just a joke/fantasy story).
