Imagine you are walking through the woods and you come across a tall and hairy silhouette. You can’t get close enough to see what it is. You hope that you’ve just sighted Bigfoot. Bigfoot is a tall and hairy, ape-like creature. It can be from 6-10 feet tall and weigh from 600-800 pounds. It is also know as Sasquatch. Sasquatch comes from the word Sésquac which means wild man in Greek. Bigfoot does not exist because of lack of scientific and physical evidence.
One reason Bigfoot is make-believe is because of the scarcity of scientific evidence. Scientists have taken many samples of what was believed to be Bigfoot, but it all came from other types of animals and none from Bigfoot. According to Jeffrey Kluger, “The samples investigators found came from animals as diverse as bears, wolves, raccoons, porcupine, deer, sheep, at least one human, and a cow.” ( Kluger, pg. 1). Also for Bigfeet to survive and thrive they would have to be asexual or there would have to be a couple thousand in just a small area for them to reproduce. Therefore we would have seen one or ran over one by now.

According to Benjamin Radford,” Contrary to Bigfoot enthusiasts’ claims, Bigfoot tracks are not particularly consistent and show a wide variation.”( Radford, Page 1). This means that these Bigfoot tracks are fake because the tracks should be unchanging. Also, it is very easy to make fake Bigfoot tracks. All you have to do is use fake rubber feet and step in the mud. This is another reason why the tracks are fake. Moreover, scientist have never found any bones or fossils that would match Bigfoot’s profile. All they have found were fossils from dinosaurs, wooly mammoths, and tiny marine crustaceans. None from
Good literary text can communicate messages more powerfully than good informative text. 2 different texts, Moon Bear Rescue by Kim Dale, and the brochure Southern Asian Moon Bears, are chosen to represent in the argument between literary and informative. Both books are similarly capable of delivering a message, but which is more powerful? Informative clearly states the facts and provide consecutive information; raises awareness for the objective, i.e. Moon Bears, whereas the literary tends to tell more of a story, perhaps information, adapted to entertain the reader, and sometimes, to educate. Because of this, I feel that the literary is much more capable of providing a powerful message, mostly informative text lacks the friendly and heart-warming story that the literary text provides.
The experience happens in the middle of the night in Orick, California when the encounter of Bigfoot took place, in the house of two men and their children. The house was surrounded by the forest, woods, and there were not many people around.
After the arrival of the Europeans and the decimation of the Native American tribes the Bigfoot became more elusive and adopted their current set of rules to stay hidden to the general public at almost any cost. Occasionally a Bigfoot would be spotted. In a few rare cases juveniles would even be
Bigfoot also known popularly as the Sasquatch, Momo, Skunk Ape, the list goes on and on, is without a doubt, the most famous of all hairy man-like creatures. The following will make you a believer in this overseen creature, it made me one. Bigfoot is seen in every possible location throughout the North American Continent, mountains, swamps, forests, crossing desolate and some not so desolate roadways and on open farmland. While its demeanor varies from docile to curios to almost threatening, its general appearance varies. Bigfoot is a massive animal, its average height is seven and a half feet tall, its weight is said be between 400-500 pounds. It is covered almost completely in fur, and its fur ranges in color from the moist widespread dark red-brown to brown, black, red, gray and even white. It leaves its footprints behind as a calling card, almost taunting the researchers that reverently research this undiscovered animal. While its prints resemble mans, they are characteristically large in comparison, and instead of the weight distribution being concentrated under the heel and ball as in the arched human foot, the weight distribution is more evenly distributed over the flat, yielding Bigfoot foot. Most often the prints have five toes, occasionally however the tracks are apparently three toed. The three toed tracks can be theorized several ways; that there is a unique variety of Bigfoot in existence, while resembling the five toed Bigfoot closely, it retains a few distinguishing characteristics; another theory is that some soil conditions can cause the toes of Bigfoot to 'clump' together. The proportion of three toed tracks in comparison to the five toed tracks seems to indicate that three toes is the exception to the norm, and that it is the result of some environmental peculiarity. The main physical characteristics attributed to Bigfoot, other than size and foot shape, are that it is bipedal and upright, has wide shoulders and a heavy brow ridge. Its eyes are sometimes said to appear to be red in color, but are mainly reported as yellow. Although no discernible language has ever been placed with Bigfoot creatures, they are very vocal. Witnesses have reported high pitched wails and low, growling roars, either before and/or after visually spotting a Sasquatch. On some occasions the sounds have been heard from two or more locations at the same time, apparently in communication with one another.
An orca, more commonly known as a killer whale, is currently one of the largest marine animals held in captivity. Countless arguments are being made, supporting and opposing captivity of orcas to be exploited as circus animals in theme parks around the world. Throughout recent history, Sea World trainers have been injured and killed by the orcas and the whales, and the whales themselves have been observed as severely depressed. If Sea World releases the whales, they would undergo an immense economic downfall and the whales would be too weak to survive in the wild if they were freed. Since the first Sea World park opened in San Diego, California in 1964, common questions have arose concerning the well-being of orcas in captivity, the dangers of humans training them, the physical capability of whales theoretically being released, and the psychological differences between whales living in the wild versus whales living in Sea World's confinement.
Bigfoot is, without a doubt, the most recognized mystery in all of North America. The apeike being has reportedly been sighted thousands of times since the beginning of the 19th century. According to eyewitness testimonies, Bigfoot, also known as Sasquatch, is a gigantic beast that towers at eight feet tall and weighs as much as six hundred pounds. Reports also say that the monster’s form is well built and usually covered in thick, brown fur. Many have asked if such a creature could possibly be roaming through the wilderness of North America and around the world, and the answer is yes.
Bigfoot and its related primates have existed in cultures around the world. In North America, the legend of Bigfoot is believed to have been part of Native American belief for hundreds of years. There are different names for this ape-like creature like Bigfoot, Sasquatch – the term Sasquatch comes from the meaning “hairy giant.”. Also, Bigfoot can be called Swamp Ape, and the list goes on. This questioned animal has appeared mysteriously in nature from time to time.
All around the world monsters are spotted contently everyday. Many of the monsters live in extraordinary circumstances. These monsters range from the chupacabra to the ancient megalodon. One of these monsters being bigfoot. Bigfoot is a very well know monster that has been in myths and stories for hundreds of years and sightings have started almost 200 years ago. One of the things many people wanted to know is how closely related bigfoot is to humans and how closely it is to apes.
Bigfoot is a primate like creature whose known throughout North America and existence is debated on throughout generations. the popular TV show, “Finding Bigfoot” harnesses American curiosity about Bigfoot and claims to be seeking out bigfoot and claims the existence of Bigfoot is definite. Moneymaker ,the primary producer of the show and owner of the website BFRO, claims that he can absolutely prove bigfoot is real. Moneymaker uses a surplus of falsified evidence, overstated information ,and understated facts. As well as ignores basic knowledge and loads his followers, readers, and watchers with fallacies. Moneymaker has a mistaken belief of Bigfoot based on unsound arguments.
I believe Gisondi stayed true to his original claim that his primary purpose was to examine the people who try to search for this elusive creature, which helped establish his speaking credibility. He explained that, during his research, he encountered some whose testimonies did not seem valid, though the majority of the people he interviewed seemed genuine in their pursuits. His explanation of his process of evaluating claims that seemed credible and those that did not also contributed to his trustworthiness both as a speaker and as a writer. Professor Gisondi introduced a colleague who shared his own story of a Bigfoot encounter. The man described Bigfoot as a “humongous thing” that, at the time of his encounter, had been laying “down in the bushes” and kept poking its head up to momentarily glimpse the humans watching him before hiding once more. The man reasoned that, since he was not alone during this sighting, it must surely have existed; however, the unspoken question that remains is whether or not the creature seen was truly
Bigfoot For over 150 years man has been troubled by one great mystery, a mystery that has baffled all who have witnessed it and all who have tried to solve it. This mystery is commonly known as Bigfoot, a tall, hairy man/ape who lurks in the woods in almost every country on this planet. Some say it is just an ape, some believe it is a man in costume, and others are true believers in this hairy phenomenon. For more than a decade and a half, this creature of myth has caused enormous contradictions in the field of science, bringing about one question. Does Bigfoot exist in the world?
Is Bigfoot really a mythical creature roaming the world? Nobody can answer that question, not if our scientist today. Bigfoot is a large, hairy, apelike creature resembling a yeti, there are found in Northwestern America. There is another name that Bigfoot is called and it’s Sasquatch. Some people believe in Bigfoot and try to find it. Others who think it’s a ridiculous idea to be searching for something that no one can find. There are others who are in the middle and others who just don’t care. There are evidence from films, eyewitnesses, photographs, hair sample, and footprints.
The next strong piece of evidence is that if you look at modern pictures of the moon, you’ll see lunar buggy tracks that were left by the landing. You may be asking, “Wouldn’t the tracks be gone, or blown away by now?”. My argument is that there is no wind on the moon, right? So how would the tracks get blown away? I guess the United States could have edited the picture, but in that case, more people would’ve argued the fact with the new high-definition telescopes. Therefore, at least a lunar buggy landed on the moon!
The theory of there being an ape like beast that walks through our wilderness all started with a 16mm film in Bluff Creek, California by Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin in 1967. The video displayed a tall, hairy human like figure trolling along a timber clearing walking briskly away from Patterson and Gimlin. The film ignited a craze amongst scientist and viewers to go on a conquest to prove Bigfoots existence. The 1967 film was never proven to be a hoax or real evidence and still today is a toss up.
One of the most well-known urban legends told is the story of Bigfoot. Much of the research has shown that there are several names assigned to the mammoth ape. According to Napier (1973), Bigfoot would be the creature found mostly in Northwest America, Sasquatch would be a creature named in British Colombia, the 49th parallel in the north-west states of America and Northern California, and the Abominable Snowman, or the Yeti would be the creature named in the Himalayas. Of course, “Wild Man” and “Savage” have also been names used to identify the creature. There’s been thousands of sightings across the world, but there have also been many misidentifications where those who think they have seen Bigfoot have really just seen an ordinary animal or person. Arment (2006) states an individual’s perception may color the eyewitness account. Such misidentifications include: hermits, fugitives, refugees, bears, gorillas, and simply people making up stories or rumors. In addition to sightings, there have been photos, videos, movies, and TV shows that strongly indicates the possibility of the existence of this creature. Though there is much evidence from sightings, myths, and recordings that Bigfoot exists, there is also much proof that it could all be a hoax. Incorrect sightings have led skeptics to argue over the existence of this being stating Bigfoot is really just a fable. So one has to ask oneself, does Bigfoot really exist or is it just another urban legend?
