Guest Twilight Fan Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Hypothetical question: If Bigfoots live in groups, clans or tribes like certain other great apes, what do you think their life would be like - their society? Also, would they have any unique customs, heiarchy, rules? etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest thermalman Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 (edited) Good question. To add, would the alpha male have numerous females or just one? Edited May 29, 2012 by thermalman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Twilight Fan Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Speaking of gender, I wonder if Bigfoot is a male-dominated society? Do males have many females, and fight for dominence? Or like bonobos, do females rule the roost? Another thing to consider: Are Bigfoot groups nomadic? Do they wander from place to place or stay within a decided range?

Guest Darrell Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 That is if you assume that they utilize the same traits as great apes and not as proto humans which could probably be significanly different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest poignant Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Size difference in male and females are correlated to courtship and selection. The larger the male, the more likely it is polygamous. I've heard before that the size of a primates' testicles are also correlated to how monogamous or polygamous the species is, with larger gonads indicating greater polygamy. I speak as a lay person having overdosed on wildlife documentaries growing up. Correct me if I'm mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BFSleuth Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 It seems that most sighting reports of family groups have a male, female, and one or two juveniles. I'm not aware of sighting reports with more than 4 in a group. Has anyone seen reports of more than 4? Native Americans indicate that they infrequently will come together into larger meetings, I think in mid summer (one such legend or story originates near Harrison Hot Springs). If so it may be a time for mates to find one another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MikeG Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I have seen a group of seven. Two adults, two babies, & three children. In the open, at the same time? I only ask to eliminate the possibility that you might have seen the same animal more than once, and counted it as 2 in error. If the light was good enough to make an assessment of the numbers like this, was it good enough to get a photo? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasfooty Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 All in the open on the night of a full moon with a good night vision device. And yes, it was good enough to get video. A few nights before that, I had seen one adult & three children walking kind of spread out side by side, in almost the same place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
