"My goal is not to convince, my goal is to open minds,"said Jeff Meldrum, professor of anatomy and anthropology at Idaho State University. Meldrum has been researching the specimen of Sasquatch for more than 15 years and has received national attention for his work, both positive and negative.
His research examines various evidences which suggest that the mythical creature Sasquatch may, in fact, be real. In particular, he hypothesizes there may be not only one creature living today, but as many as 500-750 of the Sasquatch species.
"People have been so conditioned that this isn't possible that when they finally see it, it upsets their whole equilibrium," he said.
Meldrum said many people, both inside and outside of academia, don't believe that Sasquatch could be real.
"Some of the naysayers adapt that position because such a creature, such a species could not exist under our noses and not have been discovered," he said.
Others, he said, don't accept the possibility out of stubbornness.
"There's a certain chic to being critical these days," he said, "and skepticism is worn as a bright red arm band by some individuals."

If I find someone with a bright red arm band on.....I'm going to eat them.
ReplyDeleteThat seems like a low ball number. Signting, at times, show family groups. At only 500 living, divided by 50 states, leaves only 10 Squatches per state. That doesn't seem a large enough population to keep the species going over so many different regions and climates.
ReplyDeleteWell, Meldrum's usually wrong and in this case I'd say he's off by a factor of about 10. According to Wikipedia, there are about 800,000 black bears in North America, a range the Bigfoot overlaps. If there are about 1 sasquatch per 100 bears (a common guess) then there are around 8,000 bigfoots total in N. America. 500-750 seems like too small a population to be viable.
ReplyDeletethe number of sightings(good sightings were
Deletepeople have no doubt what it was)would fit number well also.
Dr. Meldrum is not thinking clearly. I'm willing to bet there are at least 10,000 if we throw in species like the skunkapes.
ReplyDeleteIt's true because most sightings are b.s.

Look back in the history of Science according to science a scientist must see a animal for it to be real.
ReplyDeleteIt does not matter if 10,000 people or 100,000s seen the animal.
