The Difference Between a Bigfoot Nest And a California Black Bear Den [Video]


Thanks to JC Johnson and Bart Cutino for sharing this with us. This video explains how to be able tell what you're looking at if you happen to see these nest like structures in the woods.

The video description reads: "While investigating their NorCal coastal redwoods research area, Bart Cutino and Ranger Robert Leiterman stumble upon a huge hollowed out redwood log. Inside they find what appears to be a nest constructed of sticks and other vegetative debris. Is this one time dilapidated wood rat structure a Bigfoot nest? We contend it's merely an impressive black bear den & we'll explain why."

Hope you enjoy our new video of an impressive coastal black bear den! My partner (Rgr Robert Leiterman) and I found it last week when we were up in our research area up the NorCal coast and thought we'd do an educational video explaining how this former woodrat nest from a burnt-out large redwood was made and why it's not a squatch den (many would believe at first sight) but still an impressive den for CA's most predominant large mammalian species (ursus americanus-black bear). Awesome job narrating and editing by Robert and music from our good friend & fellow squatcher Paul Graves (mid-90's Seattle band "Mossdog")

  4. Somebody pass this video onto Mitch Waite and the clowns at Mogollon Monster (AZCRO) and their nest. This is how you do research.

  5. I hope this doesn't sound too jerky, because I really do enjoy this blog and its comments sections but as an actual scientist this kind of stuff makes me crazy!

    Lay science never ceases to baffle me - there are absolutely zero ground rules.

    2. You "want to beleive and love Bigfoot?"
      Are you a witness or do you know one persponally? Just curious, don't need the account. I didn't see C.V. on webstite, but saw reference you are PhD Anthropology, but sociology focus? Are we as Bigfooters being studied? Not nearly as enggain as the big guy, but engrossing none the less while we wait for our first hoped for peer-reviewed paper...the famed/infamous "Ketchum Study." So, it is just love of BF to come to this site? Most of this stuff is as above....???

  6. I wonder if they ever argue over who gets the nest! Ha ha!

  7. Did I miss the part where they showed us a bigfoot nest so we could see the difference?

    Sorry, but this was hardly scientific. They told us about some bear tracks, we didn't see them. And they told us wood rats drug all the sticks and ferns in there but did they find wood rat droppings? Bear hair? Anything?

    This video proved nothing other than something had made a den in there. It could have been them. But one thing's for sure, we would have needed video, DNA and a dead carcass before it could have been a bigfoot den. But for a bear, just opinions will do :)

  9. I don't think the video was suppose to "prove" anything (what a weird thing to say to the poster above me) . Just be informative about what a typical bear den looks like. Many people spend years in the woods and never find one as good as this.

    I take it you didn't read the title of the clip. It's a "vs" video. That means they planned on doing a comparison. In this case it was a bear's den vs a bigfoot's nest. Ya know what they missed? The bigfoot nest. An essential ingredient for comparison's sake.

    And yes, they were trying to prove that what we were seeing was a bear's den, not a bigfoot nest. Given the criteria they laid out - they failed.
