  1. When working with "known" morphology and "known" DNA sequences, there would'nt be anything analogous. If my sample really isn't within defined human morphology and yet does give human DNA then it would mean that either the sample is a unidentified and contaminated "known" animal hair or it is a human hair with uncataloged "unknown" morphology. On the tracks, I wasn't present when other team members found the tracks. I don't think the depth and stride we anything remarkable. The points that made them interesting were that..... 1. They emerged from the woods to the river bank and then back to the woods.(a kyacker would emerge from the water onto the bank and back to the water.) 2. Going barefooted in that environment would risk injury to the feet. 3. No other sign of recent human activity ie: vehicle tire tracks ATV tracks etc. (The place is a privately owned and seldom used fishing camp, hence the bucket tied to the tree) 4. Sighting reports in the area, including my son's earlier that year. 5. Classic prior audible events in the area including howls, whoops, bipedal foot steps, woodknocks etc. ( one set of knocks heard while casting one of the tracks). Thats not in that write up on the tracks and should be amended. 6. The tracks are relatively flat and some show good flex and toe grasping.

  2. WRT eyeglow/eyeshine, I've lived with cats for fifty years, and it can be quite disconcerting how bright their eyes can appear with virtually unnoticeable levels of ambient light. With the highly developed night vision bf is generally credited with I suspect the situation would be similar. In the photo on the previous page, there is obviously sufficient light to register on the film or sensor of the camera even if it is a time exposure so there would be more than enough for the eyes of a nocturnal animal to be clearly visible. It would be interesting to have some input from someone with a scientific/medical/optical background. I'm fairly imaginative but it eludes me how a sight organ could function as such while producing it's own light, but I stand ready to be illuminated. LOL!

  3. I think they're telepathic & that accounts for their comprehension as much as an understanding of spoken language.

  4. I have a cat & a duck that understand English. Surely a BF is as intelligent as cats & ducks. I've even heard rumors that dogs do, but that seems a little far fetched......
