      I suggest that the plural of "bigfoot" is "bigfoot."

      Interesting, but I take exception to the species ever being considered near extinction. "Elusive" and "extinct" aren't necessarily synonymous.    I also have doubts that the species will ever be photographed/recorded in their natural environment. Too elusive, too difficult an environment to capture naturally. I suspect will ever be the realm of artistic rendering. But it does boggle the imagination to mentally picture their pursuit and predation by deep-diving, enormous sperm whales. (Now I'm curious, given the forum's odd automatic censorship, whether it will publish the species of whale mentioned, as I click the "submit" button.)

      ^^^   For bigfoot to be filmed there would have to be many factors in favor of the person with the camera.   Guessing those factors is one trick.  Then, even if one had all those things done perfectly, it still needs to occur in a world. Bigfeet are likely very few in number AND the area to look is extremely big.  Put those factors together and it becomes nearly impossible.     This point is illustrated in the movie Castaway:       Chuck Noland  "That's a search area of 500,000 square miles. That's twice the size of Texas. They may never find us".     The task of seeing Bigfoot let alone getting one on camera is an uphill climb.  I will admit the giant squid lives and operates in an area so extremely big and hostile it may as well be outer space.  Yet, if a light or some food attracts one to a camera, you caught the image of an elusive creature.   Figure the formula and getting one becomes less elusive.    Anything to increase the odds:         In Pixar’s Up, Russell uses chocolate — specifically chocolate bars and chocolate-covered strawberries — to lure the giant bird Kevin out of her treehouse and into his company

      Hyperbole aside, 2012 is the date that the discovery bore fruit... The point stands, at some point, we'll figure out how to observe these animals in their native habitat, then they'll revert to just another curious creature in the woods like bear or wolves.

      Giant squid are huge, the size of a school bus. They're extinct or nearly so, right? Impossible to film. Never before seen in their natural habitat?   Turns out, there are tens of millions of giant squid in the oceans, plenty enough to support the current Sperm Whale population. Only a few years ago (literally, like 2024) we thought them near extinction, and had never filmed a live one except under extremely unusual accidental conditions or the few washed up on beaches or caught stuck to the mouth of a whale mid-meal.   Now we can film them any time we want.   The secret? Changing the light used to film the deep.   This is an analogous situation to sasquatch, just in case you were wondering why I'm talking about giant squid.
