Is It Implausible For Bigfoot To Survive In This Cold?

I adamantly disagree with you for the simple fact that many other animals survive the same weather. In fact, I would predict that sasquatch has an even better chance than any other animals who are stuck out in the cold, simply because they can construct things since they have hands. Even a primitive windbreak, or something more intricate, would allow them to retain more body heat.

 

Then there is the possibility that they have some type of fat layer precisely for surviving such temperature extremes. I don't know if that is the case, but surely it is possible. But my main point is that sasquatch can survive the cold if other animals can.

I have read countless reports where a Bigfoot was seen in the winter. If you think I am full of hot air, just check out the BFRO Reports 2.0 thread, I've read lots of reports. They absolutely could survive in a cold climate. I also think that they will migrate to warmer locations if possible.

I think some migrate too. I don't really see the southern skunkapes having a need to do that, but bigfoot who live in areas with real "seasons" would most likely migrate. I'm not talking about an extreme migration, but who really knows. I think this is so for bigfoot in Oklahoma at least. The summers can be brutal and believe it or not, the winters can be as well. My mother's friend had a sighting a few months ago in southwest oklahoma in a location with bare minimum foliage. Was miles and miles of flat open farm land. She saw it crossing the highway following a creek north. Knowing the area well, I find it highly unlikely it could support a population of bigfoot. So I assume it was "passing" through. Getting to a better place for the winter. Yes I know what your thinking....is it going to be colder the farther north it goes? I personally think it may of been heading towards the mountains, which are northeast of where she saw the bf. Sightings in that corner of the state are rare.

There is an abandoned tunnel in the SC mountains where the temperature is a constant 50 degrees. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stumphouse_Mountain_Tunnel    

 

There has to be many places like this where they could wait out a weather event.

 

If  you eat meat before you try to sleep, it will act like a furnace and keep you warmer. Ever heard of the "meat sweats"?

 

 If all else fails I bet they have a snuggle buddy!

Hello simplyskyla,

 

That's cause that's where the caves are. I'll bet they eat those bats like popcorn! Hey, I know, let's ask the bat people where the bats are then put up a couple of trail cams. Kinda hard to avoid trail cams when one has to get out of a cave opening first, eh? I mean has anyone ever thought of this? Surely someone has put this little piece of the puzzle together somewhere. Not saying it's the total winter answer here but I'll bet it's a good lead that Sasquatch eat those little hibernating bats during bitter cold spells and maybe other times too.

 

I mean part of survival in the wild in knowing the habits, life cycles, and lifestyles of other creatures. Bears out west go above the timberline in August after all to eat tons of moths (millers) because they know the timing of the moths. They will be there in August..... and so will the bears.

Of course there is the Yeti and its colder up in Tibet than the Adirondacks.  Large critters can live in cold climates. (Unless this is a digression).

Well the Yeti's will have that Polar Bear skin anyway won't they ?

I've fished the Fairford River for walleye, not too far in Manitoba from where the 1941 Sasquatch shooting was supposed to have taken place.  I'm new to the forum, but I also have to wonder about how they would survive the winter in cold areas.  Central Manitoba is arctic for part of the winter.  Literally -40F and colder actual temperature, and much colder with "wind chill".  The area is flat with no caves or rocky outcroppings.  Numbers of folks snowmobile, run trap lines, etc. and don't report Bigfoot tracks in the snow that I am aware of.  They would have to hibernate, migrate, or be very very tough to take these arctic temperatures for days at a time.  Plus they would have to be basically sedentary in winter or their tracks would certainly be found and followed.  I have no answers…just more questions….

 

 

Meh,  a Montana sighting has a tow truck driver watch a squatch drag a full grown elk by the antlers across the road down an enbankment through drifts and across countty at night in -40 below, 

 

No disrespect intended…but let me get this straight…A mature bull elk with antlers (perhaps 1000 lbs or even slightly more) is being towed across the snow and through drifts by a 600 lb Sasquatch

It would seem to me that even the most novice of trackers could return at dawn and follow a track through the snow like that…Are there any more details of this sighting and what I assume was an attempt to follow the trail/track?

The towing feat is on the order of the kind of thing cougars do all the time.  Known apes, too.

 

People.  Come ON.  This was some Joe reporting something well after the fact to people he wasn't even sure would take him seriously.

 

By the time a report reaches the right people, the track is usually gone.

Hello All,

Before I continue I'd like to welcome 9ft tall to the Forum, so welcome :)

On the issue of caves, after doing a bit of research I ran across some info that somes caves contain frogs, salamanders, and also mushrooms. These items are on a list of things that are in a Sasquatch diet along with just aboout anything else. And you know, now that I think about it, the creatures have been reported as many are aware with all kinds of strong odors. Sulphur, dead animal, skunk, musty, etc. It doesn't surprise me that if they exist and are in the size ranges reported that they would have to be able to eat almost anything. Rabbits....gotta be fast to get rabbits. Hibernating bats? Ehhnnnot so much ;)

BFRO has 21 reports from the state of Alaska across 10 counties all in the southern parts of Alaska broken down in the following way:

 

6 Class B encounters with 11 witnesses that can be discounted because they saw nothing but tracks and heard scary things at night.

 

15 Class A Encounters involving 40 witnesses meaning that think they actually think they saw a BF of these

  • Range from as close to 10 feet to over 1,000 feet with the long range sightings using some form of high powered binoculars.
  • 1, since 2010, 8 since 2000, 3 since 1990, 3 pre 1990
  • 13 of the witnesses military at time, 1 ex military
  • 9 seen from car, 1 from house, the rest outdoors either hunting, hiking, or snowmobiling
  • 3 night encounters, rest day or late PM
  •  2 encounters winter, 4 summer, 4 spring, 3 fall, 2 unknown

 

My questions are as follows:

  • Would 10 neutral biologist walk in to the Alaskan bush after speaking to these 40 folks unarmed?
  • Would BF be convicted in a court for non-existence with the circumstancial evidence of these 40 or so folks?
  • If there were 15 Class A encounters reported to BFRO, how many were not reported?  150+
  • If a BF can live in S. Alaska, can it live anywere in NA?

I could go on but I am guessing you get my line of thinking.

Up here in Alberta we see all sizes of tracks in their gathering area until the snow hits. Once that happens they disappear except the very biggest tracks but only every few weeks. In March we start seeing the 14 inch tracks again and the little ones as well. It would seem they hunker down in some very rugged country and the big males go out and get food when needed. There is one place we have found 18 inch tacks 2 years apart in the same place in January. Always just before a snow storm. Inuit lived hundreds of years in the arctic before technology. and Sasquatch are miles tougher.

1. Of course not there are grizzly and polar bears in the wilds of Alaska.

2. Yes even a terrible lawyer could point to all the wild life surveys in Alaska which didn't turn up any Bigfoot, lack of any physical evidence definitively from Bigfoot from the encounters, lack of any clear Bigfoot photos from the encounters, etc.

3. Sure why not 10000

4. If bigfoot doesn't have to have a realistic range like every other organism on the planet why not. Somehow Bigfoot has been reported everywhere from the swamps of Florida to Canadian taiga, hardwood forests of the east to coniferous forests of the west, all 49 continental states and canadian provinces. I would hazard to guess there aren't many organisms in southern Alaska that also claim the reported range of Bigfoot.
