timbergiantbigfoot: Questions to Ponder

Currently, timbergiantbigfoot is not out there Bigfoot hunting as he is taking a short break. He leaves us with some food for thought. Click here to watch Uploaded by timbergiantbigfoot on Jul 24, 2011 I was just thinking about the bigfoot scenario and had these questions . So I put together a quick video with them. I've been taking a short break from the forest routine to give it a rest for a little while. The heat , and drought , and lack of food along with my presence in the forest may not have the desired effect on the creatures I'm looking for . So a short pause in the recording of activitey.

Animals Compared to Humans: What skills are distinctly human?

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Germany compared the abilities and skills of chimps, orangutans and two year old humans. They found that human children were better at social learning. Social learning Researchers love to compare humans to our close relatives the great apes. This video shows footage of a study that compared the physical and social skills of orang-utans, chimps and 2-year-old children. Humans and apes had similar concepts of the physical world, but the researchers found that humans were better at social learning. The toddlers could recognise non-verbal cues better than the apes and were also more likely to learn by example. However, the tests did ask the apes to learn from humans. Perhaps they would be better at learning from their own species?

The best Bigfoot documentary ever produced

Nat Geo's amazing documentary about Bigfoot featuring Dr. Jeff Meldrum. In our opinion, one of best, if not the best documentary on Sasquatch. The show begins by telling us a story about a man named Patterson who took film footage of a Bigfoot in Northern California in the late '60s.  Of course, debunkers immediately said it was a hoax -- just a guy in a suit. The show pretty well put the hoax claim to rest. Without going into all of the details of each point, the main points were that Hollywood "creature suit makers" say the technology to make a suit look and act like the creature in the film did not exist in the late '60s and  still doesn't.  Anatomical experts say the proportions are wrong for a human and right for an ape.  Finally, it is possible to calculate the actual height of something in an image if you know the distance from camera to subject, the size of the image on the frame of film and the focal length of the lens.  The camera used at the t...

A random  Bigfoot conversation... Date: Summer of 1978 Location:  2 lane mountainous road in Oregon Witnesses: Two teenagers, ages 15 and 17 Context:  Witnesses saw something large and dark at the edge of our headlights (my side) LEAPT out of the Ditch at the side of the road. "Both my cousin and I screamed and he instinctively swerved into the other lane to avoid this thing." Source:   www.abovetopsecret.com [...] During the Summer of 1978 when I was 15, my family (total of 7 people - 2 adults, 5 children ranging in age from 9 to 17) drove a motor home from Florida to Alaska as a Summer Vacation. Our route was to take us across Country to California and then North. Having decided to drive "round the clock" most of the way there and back - it was decided that the 3 eligible drivers would take shifts with one other person in the passengers seat as a "Navigator" - My assignment as Navigator (since I could not drive) was with my 17 year old Cousi...

The Banff Merman!

Banff's oldest celebrity resident, the Merman This strange creature was found in the owner of the Banff Indian Trading Post, Norman Luxton's basement after he died sometime in the 1960s. Luxton also happened to be married to the first white woman in the province of Alberta. Luxton bought the Merman in 1915 and crafted a vague story about its origins to help promote the Trading Post, which at that time sold beadwork and quilts made by natives from the nearby Stoney Reserve. The Merman is a petrified, three-foot, half-man half-fish curio in a glass case in the back room of the Indian Trading Post, an old cabin hawking authentic native artifacts and tourist souvenirs on the south side of the Banff Avenue bridge. Ripley's Believe it or Not Museum once offered the family $300,000 for the Merman. The Merman is bizarre enough to draw interest, looks realistic enough to maintain plausibility, and facts about it are kept vague enough to keep skeptics at bay. On the Merman...
