      What are the perks of the premium membership? Is the tar pit still a thing?

      Haven't looked at that in years, but I like the encrypted email option!

      Best Circumstantial Evidence

      By guyzonthropus · Posted

      As for reports, they used to say for every report submitted up to 100 go unreported. Now that could be an exaggeration, but back before Finding Bigfoot and the "normalization" of sightings(if you can call it that even now) I'm sure people were far more reluctant to come forth. I know my late natural sister told me of a couple incidents she had (one early morning sighting and another time where she was escorted out without seeing the creature) and she never reported either.   Also I'm a firm believer that instead of most bigfoot sightings actually being bears, I think a fairly big number of Bigfoot sightings get discounted as bear sightings by the witnesses themselves because the people involved simply can't process the possibility that they saw bigfoot, and so their minds default to explaining it away as a bear, something "normal" they already understand and accept, as well as something that won't get them laughed at, disparaged or called crazy. I'm sure that in some percentage of such cases people choose to call it a bear just to avoid the social stigma involved, or feared would be involved, in reporting a sighting. Call it a survival strategy, be it conscious or subconscious.

      Best Circumstantial Evidence

      Koko was not a one off by any means. There have been a number of great apes taught sign language. Gorillas, orangs, and I'm pretty sure chimps as well. I believe there are also cases where mothers taught offspring ASL, although I can't say to what extent or if there developed any gorilla specific/created signs that they did or didn't explain to humans(of course if they didn't they might not be recognized as such or deemed "gorilla mumbling ASL") What's really remarkable is the research being done with chimps using touchscreen monitors to perform tests, on some of which they outperform humans !

      Bigfoot caloric intake.

      By Backdoc · Posted

      Regardless of how much Bigfoot eats it has to get its food, calories, or energy it has to get it somewhere.    If the source is completely private it is harder to "see" Bigfoot or catch it in the act.  If it eats and especially prefers public food sources, we should see them more often. If there are enough of these public food source loving animals, we should see them at trash cans and river streams.   We don't.  To the extent we do it sure seems like those seeing them seem to forget they are armed with a cell phone camera.
