Bigfoot?

[erb]

Could this be how the Bigfoot legend started? This has been around for a while but it's a pretty cool video

Most Interesting ERB...

I doubt the Bigfoot was simply People Mistaking an upright walking Bear for Bigfoot...

There are some Cryptozoologists who have taken to studying Native American "myths".. and have been finding that indeed, a percentage of the various tribes have mentioned Bigfoot.. There is even Rockart which depicts Bigfoot...

Native Americans were soo much more in tune with Nature and the various Animals then Europeans ever were here the Americas... No way they'd Mistaken a Bear, even one walking upright, for Bigfoot.... Bears walk upright enough that the Indians would have been accustom to seeing this behaviour..

I'm going to try and locate the Rockart that depicts Bigfoot and post it here...

Dean,Thanks for the link, pretty cool. I guess being of European descent if I saw that walking through the trees I probably would be walking the other way in a hurry !!

Yeah I am certain Most folks would be doing the same thing...

The Great thing about this site is that it also has Bear Pictographs.. So, Most certainly, the Yokut Indians understood the difference between Bears & Bigfoot....
I gotta Go to the Reservation Soon to see these Pictographs!!!!!

I absolutely love cryptozoology. It opens up many possibilities because even larger animals have been discovered in the 20th century that were rumored, but never truly seen by scientists until now recently. It makes you wonder what are the animals of myth, and what are the animals of truth.

The thunder bird is also another native american creature that people claim they have seen and swear it exists. You have to wonder about it.

Come out here to Southern California... i'll take you to the Sespe Condor sanctuary.. Those California Condors are Massive birds... I'd be willing to say that the Thunderbird is probably, in a lot of instances, a Condor... Had one fly over me years ago while i was Fishing Sespe creek.. I thought it was an Airplane at first, as it completely blocked out the Sun when it soared over...... Amazing and Impressive indeed...

I enjoy Cryptozoology as well.. There's a Great Deal we still do not know about all the species on this Planet....

We saw Condors in Marble Canyon when we were fly fishing Lee's Ferry in Arizona a few years ago. They are absolutely huge.
