Guest shoot1 Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 @shoot1: Well, there is a academic paper mentioned in another article about the finding! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/10384000/Yeti-lives-Abominable-Snowman-is-part-polar-bear-and-still-roams-the-Himalayas.html His new research, which has been submitted for publication in a peer-reviewed science journal, will feature in a new Channel 4 documentary series, Bigfoot Files, which starts on Sunday. Can't believe I missed that.
Guest Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Lets just regroup Monday and leave this thread for a few days. Its seems like it will be quality entertainment for sure regardless.
Lake County Bigfooot Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Finding a previously unidentified specie of bear, that some may have thought a Yeti, may still not explain the whole Yeti thing away, if footprint evidence suggests that a primate type specie was present, it is certainly possible that both exist. Just the fact that a bear existed undiscovered for all these years should make you take pause and wonder. To summarize I think that this should be encouraging to Squatchers. We do not have the patent on Crypto creatures, but the fact that one has been discovered, that has defied our study for the last 100 years, should shed light on the possibility of others existing. It is really pretty amazing, and we should expect more discoveries based on this initial genome study.

At least species of bear are recognized as official creatures. Bigfoot? Disregarded as complete myth.
indiefoot Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) Is Dr. Sykes suggesting that DNA evidence can determine the existence of a large mammal to any degree of certainty? If the results point to a new bear in the Himalayas and everyone agrees, what if the DNA findings point to something different in North America or Russia, or is DNA only reliable if it says what we want it to say?

Guest Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 That is a good question indiefoot. If this discovery of a previously unknown animal (such as this bear) via DNA can be generally accepted - does that set the stage for using DNA to prove something like BF?
Arrowhead Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 I have a simple question - Who's the giant dude that gets out of the car in the commercial? He's got to be at least 7'-6". Wonder if he was a BF stand in?
BobbyO Posted October 18, 2013 SSR Team Posted October 18, 2013 I have a simple question - Who's the giant dude that gets out of the car in the commercial? He's got to be at least 7'-6". Wonder if he was a BF stand in? A pro boxer albeit not a very good one.. Valuev i think his second name is, or something like that,.
Oonjerah Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Nikolai Valuev, Russian boxer, was World Champ; guess he didn't care to stay in shape. Sykes oughta test his DNA IMO.
BobbyO Posted October 18, 2013 SSR Team Posted October 18, 2013 Says a lot about the mess heavyweight boxing is/was in with him as world champ at one stage.
MarkGlasgow Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 He was WBA champ twice BobbyO. Lost to David Haye and retired soon after. 7ft tall with an 85 inch reach!
Guest Junior Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Just seen... The series will air in the states nov 17 th on Nat GEo under "bigfoot uncovered "title
Guest blackbriar Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Looks like they have their heart set on a "special bear" here's hoping the next shows aren't as disappointing.
Guest Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 I've just seen the first episode. There's not really much in there that hasn't already been aired in the press, except one very interesting piece on how bears walk that shed light on yeti footprints.
