In the past I've received a warning point for a comment that was much milder but was perceived as political commentary, which is restricted to the Tar Pit. However, I primarily respond to note that it may not be a YouTube video creator limiting viewing to the US, but it may be other countries restricting access. Without offering any commentary on the wisdom or need for doing so, I understand that both Canada and the European Union now have stringent requirements to prevent "fake news." Since these types of things are usually performed by computer algorithms, there are often many unintended limitations in what can or cannot be seen in such places. Don't have any idea what's actually preventing someone from viewing this clip. Usually, when I have a problem its because the computers are actively conspiring to make themselves as annoying as possible to me.

Do y'all remember the old saying, " If you keep doing the same thing over and over, you'll keep getting the same outcome"? I think that's a lot of the problem. People assume or believe they know what bigfoot is so they keep looking for physical evidence, which at this point, will have to be a body. I don't think that will work either and I'll tell you why. I've kept this opinion under wraps for years but I'm dying of metastatic breast cancer that has now spread to major organs, so I don't have much time left to tell the tale. Many years ago, I went to Selma, Alabama to investigate a giant skeleton on display in a restaurant that was supposedly Cheif Tuscaloosa. For those who aren't familiar, Cheif Tuscaloosa was documented by the Spanish to be over 8 feet tall. I suspected that this skeleton wasn't human or some historic Indian Chief, so I went on down to Selma to check it out. The owner of the restaurant provided the documentation from the US government that the skeleton was over 7 feet tall. They took that skeleton for further study, but what they returned was obviously a human skeleton typical of what you would find in an anatomy class in school. I measured the skeleton and it was only slightly taller than me. These medical school skeletons can sometimes be a conglomeration of bones from different people. I took a toe bone for DNA analysis but after talking to a well-known geneticist we decided it wasn't worth the effort to do DNA testing based on what I found. The point I'm getting at is that no matter what you believe bigfoot to be it is a real phenomenon. I say that because the government obviously swapped out those skeletons and sent a regular human skeleton back to the owners instead of the original skeleton. I'm pretty sure the documents that she showed me were legitimate, she did not realize the skeleton was swapped out until I examined it and it didn't fit the measurements on the documentation. The government wanted that original skeleton for a reason, now what they found out is anyone's guess. The same will happen if someone manages to obtain a type specimen. All I can say is when you look down into the abyss, it certainly looks back at you. Keep that in mind as you continue your quest for truth. I think the government knows what they are and it is probably nothing that we assume it to be. I think people that are interested in bigfoot get bored with the same results, or lack of results, that happens over and over again when you simply look for physical evidence, keeping the focus and assumptions about a being so narrow.

Three months later (almost), can we stick a needle in this one?

His assessment is spot on in that video footage doesn't mean much, but paired with hair and DNA, then suddenly it does add to the complete picture. If someone videos a sasquatch and videos collecting hair samples, DNA samples and videos footprints and the DNA and hair comes back positive, then the video takes on a whole new meaning. If I videoed a sasquatch, I would be happy just having the video, because it would prove it to me. I count him fortunate to have videoed something that isn't easy to explain away, that in all honesty, I think it may be what he was looking for. That is if he is indeed telling the truth.

Both videos were interesting and it's too bad that others can't play them. It's hard to imagine an ape that is 12 feet high that can get enough protein by eating ants that infested a stick as shown on the film. Maybe there is enough protein or special minerals required to remain healthy. Gigantopthecus was probably a plant eater unlike some of Africa's primates. I wonder if it deevolved and became smaller over time and transformed into the present day African gorilla as this film depicted.

Thanks for the info, Chris, I'm on Telus as well. I'll try a different browser. OK, I got it to play on Chrome, it just didn't like Microsoft Edge.
