Why are there no bigfoot fossils found in the USA?

4. Or maybe Bigfoot fossils have been discovered and the Smithsonian Museum is not making this public information. Why would the Smithson Museum want to hide the fact that Bigfoot fossils are in fact in their collections? 

 

There's an assumption hiding here .. that they know what they have.    My understanding is they are wildly, **wildly** understaffed so far as people trained to properly handle and classify incoming "stuff".    There's a backlog of "stuff" on shelves in boxes that will take them decades to get through and by then, an even bigger stack will have accumulated.    If you want results, rather than blame the Smithsonian, consider lobbying for additional funding for trained staff.

Why can't they find fossils?   

 

A needle is always a needle.  The size of the haystack helps determine the odds of finding the needle in that haystack.

 

 

 

vs...

 

 

I would guess that more than anything determines finding such fossils.  There may also be an expiration date where the bones might degrade at some point after Bigfoot or any animals dies.

Bigfoot bury their dead. I have heard several witness accounts of this, and their funerals are really large events.

Thanks for your comments. I wonder where you found this information about bigfoot attending funerals? Especially, since Bigfoot does not want to be noticed and having a large funeral would attract lots of attention since it's hard to find a place that is remote enough to hide the event. I wonder if somebody observed such an event taking place? If this funeral took place, then it is most likely going to occur at nighttime and of course in a very remote place.

american mammal fossils - Search Well bigfoots are found in practically every state within the United States and it's amazing that we have found no Bigfoot fossils. 

 

"In 1916, the Department of Paleontology began a long association with Childs Frick, the son of steel magnate Henry Clay Frick and a longtime American Museum trustee. Using his personal fortune to employ a small army of collectors and researchers including Morris Skinner, Theodore Galusha and Beryl Taylor, Frick accumulated a collection of over 200,000 fossil mammals, which formed the basis of a series of monographic studies on mammal evolution. The collection was donated to the Museum after Frick's death in 1965. The financial assets of the Childs Frick Corporation, which were donated to the Museum along with Frick's fossil collections in 1968, assisted in the construction of a new, 10-story collection and office building, which opened in 1973. "

 

Why no bigfoot fossils? Probably lots of animal fossils.

Are they unobservant and don't question the fossils of giants that should stand out in their collections. The needle in the haystack is huge and hard to miss.

No.   Once the boxes are opened the first time that may be true.    From what I'm told, though, they're not opened, not categorized: they are warehoused, no more.   The staff are that overwhelmed by sheer volume.   What you're grasping for is a nice story but it is a false story.
