Guest TrucknSquatch Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 (edited) Once when out with a group of friends we could hear babies of some kind crying from the opening of a cave. This was in an area known for BF and an area that always had a bad smell around, the source of which could never be located. I'm not saying those were BF babies. We didn't know what they were and weren't crazy enough to crawl into the cave to find out. But if you heard cries in the woods its not always possible to know what kind of mammal it is coming from. I've witnessed birds make sounds like a crying baby too. So I think such sounds get ignored by humans in the woods. There is no guarantee a baby BF would even sound like a baby human anyway which I am assuming you are getting at. I would suspect the mother would try to keep them quiet to keep predators at bay. We have a small woodpecker that the first time I heard it, it sounded like a baby kitten stuck in our old garage. I started looking, looked up and saw this small woodpecker, making this noise. I would never had thought a bird could sound like an enemy. Edited February 3, 2011 by TrucknSquatch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 The black colored hair/fur creatures I've seen have a shiny quality to their coat. When in the brush it appears to have a greenish hue to the hair/fur of the creatures. I think that hue may be a reflection of the surrounding foilage. Very neat little trick if you're hiding in the foilage. Chris B. That would be a neat trick. I know when I've seen footage of glossy black mountain gorillas in their hyper-green world they look glossy black to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Most hikers I have noticed rarely if ever look up, constantly looking at where they are stepping, for good reason of course! Foresters look up. They're always looking up. I'm not talking Smokey Bear park rangers but cruiser vested, paint can toting, calked boot foresters. Loggers look up too. We're always looking up. We trip and fall down a lot too. Nobody laughs either. It's just part of the job to fall down. If a forester or a logger doesn't have a sore neck at the end of the day then they probably weren't doing their job. And the only animals I've ever seen in trees were birds, squirrels, porcupines and opposums. Oh, and a hippy. He came down though when I sunk my 084 into the trunk of his tree. "Boy, it's a good thing you came down. I didn't even see you up there." (snicker, snicker) People look up all the time. What's more spirit lifting than looking up through the fractured light of natures cathedral? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be a type of vegetation that leaves a green tint in the hair. Just wondering out loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know when I've seen footage of glossy black mountain gorillas in their hyper-green world they look glossy black to me. Well, not so much as to look like this guy: But more of a hue like this young lady: or this fellow in/behind the bush: So it's not really a big overall change in color but more of a soft hue, like some of those bright white color cars that are so white they seem to have a blue color hue to the paint. I know others must be able to see it, because my eyesight is a little color challenged, yet I can see there is a slight difference. Chris B.

I don't know, it's just that green hue on the hair/fur of some of the black color creatures doesn't make sence on a mammal. A reflection of surrounding vegetation or rubbed on plant extract of some sort? It's just something else on the long list of things I wish I knew about these creatures. Chris B.

bipedalist Posted February 3, 2011 BFF Patron Share Posted February 3, 2011 Since I have smelled the moldy, mildewy wet dog smells of these things, could also not be a form of mold growth or even (if in wet, swampy climes or rain forests) a type of algae that they may make use of or have growing on them?

Guest Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Foresters look up. . . . If a forester or a logger doesn't have a sore neck at the end of the day then they probably weren't doing their job. We birders look up too - so much so that we have a name for that ailment: "warbler neck." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunflower Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Saw some pictures of a group (different sizes)of hairy guys and they were a beautiful shade of green. We all speculated it looked they bathed in a pond covered with algae. Now we need to investigate the sightings of "little green men" as in, you know......

Guest ChrisBFRPKY Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Bipedalist, that would be a possible explanation for that wet dog musty swampy smell. Interesting. But it seems like they would get skin infections if something was actually growing on their hair/fur. I don't know. Could it be some sort of symbiotic relationship? Chris B.

Guest Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Cheers for the lime green Snowflake! But more of a hue like this young lady: I see a black gorilla. Sure there's some light bouncing off her pelage, but I don't see "green" and certainly not enough to provide camouflage. or this fellow in/behind the bush: I think that "fellow" is the bush, i.e., a pareidoliasquatch.

southernyahoo Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 It is a great question really! At one point in times I had gathered that they actually GENERALLY avoided caves all together, and it was told(Maybe by some native tribes) that they do so to avoid being cornered/caught in a bad situation. Most all of the time when one is either filmed sleeping(as has been claimed in the Erickson Project), reported sleeping, or what have you(Even bedding areas) it is just right smack dab in the middle of nowhere, sometimes near a creek or a river, and in the thickest of brush/safest of areas. I would say though, that most all people even the biggest wood goers stay right the hell away from caves whenever possible. They are a breeding ground for predators and pain. I would also say that most caves are "undiscovered", as one would only need be the size of a big truck if that to shelter a Sasquatch family comfortably.And to note, I really really would not freaking want to run up on one while it was sleeping, I think that would be the only situation I personally could get into with one where I may very well be killed no exceptions! You know how some people are, especially war/law enforcement veterans, when they are awakened. It is a very similar mentality for a Sasquatch. Constant chance of death, constant fear, constant danger. The stresses would have to be enormous on them. Can only imagine what they would think if the one most dangerous thing on earth for them had "Snuck" up on 'em while they were sleeping, by accident or not. Your intentions would mean **** at that moment, and the reaction would have to be immediate. I would rather be asleep when a predator comes around, than be coming around when one is asleep, for **** sure! Xion, this reminds me of an incident that happened in one of the most productive spots I've ever been in. A fellow researcher was walking a relatively unused trail uphill towards a small but dense pine grove near a river when he was growled at fiercly by something in that grove of pines, he was alone and high tailed it right past the rest of the group white as a sheet. He said the growl was not unlike what a large angry primate would do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 We birders look up too - so much so that we have a name for that ailment: "warbler neck." That's funny. I think all my looking up is one of the reasons that I got into birding. They have a whole society up there. I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ChrisBFRPKY Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I was watching Monsterquest on one of those episodes about wild men where some scientist is looking at a hair through the microscope. Just on visual exam, the guy held the strand of hair up to the florescent light and commented on the reflective quality. Is it possible that sasquatch hair has a quality that bounces light like reflective sunglasses or something? That would explain why some shots are blurry.....It might also help them stay hidden in brush and allow them to blend better with the vegetation when sunlight or moonlight is shining through the leaves. My hair is light brown with blonde and red highlights, now with lots of silvery gray. I noticed that my hair is extremely shiny in photos. I may give this a try, once the ice melts, and get my brother to take a few pics of the back of my head in some brush just to see if I get the blobsquatch affect. Excellent post Jodie and very cool experiment! I think you're asking the right questions. Chris B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
