How do gorillas, chimps, orange, monkeys, etc trim their finger and toe nails?

 

Just a crazy thought that jumped in my head when I was trimming my dog's nails.   :-)

It's not so crazy. We've come to know you as a very deeply thoughtful and curious guy. In fact, you infect me with such thoughts. Now I'm wondering how our more wild and primitive homo sapien cousins did it. 
 

I occasionally keep goats and sheep on my property which is forested, not rocky. Consequently, their hooves need occasional trimming because the rocks don't do it for them like their wild cousins on cliffs.

In my old age, brittle and not so supple anymore, it's become a ever-more-difficult chore!

This Q of "How many Calories" is a good Q.   I would call it part of the Life Support Q.    That is, what does Bigfoot need to survive if bigfoot it real?   Food Supply seems to be an issue brought up by the science skeptic types on these Bigfoot shows on TV.  Before we dismiss it, I would say we have to give it a fair consideration.  

 

I remember a grey-haired lady scientist on one of these shows describing the PNW as I recall it a "Vaste wasteland" to find food.  She correctly assumed there needs to be a certain number of calories to feed a big animal and esp. one with a big brain.  I completely disagree with the area being a wasteland.       (As I remember the show, she did at least look closer at the PGF in the end of the episode and admitted the gait of Patty was odd and not ape or human.   At least that is something)

 

We don't know if Bigfoot would be a Carnivore, omnivore, or whatever.  Assuming it eats meat, I would think Fish in the stream make sense.  Yet, we never see them fighting bear for salmon on a regular basis, but the bear is there on a regular basis.

 

It's reasonable for skeptics to base any disbelief of Bigfoot on Life Support issues.   These might include breading numbers, climate conditions, and so on.    I do know unlike bears we don't have regular reports of Bigfoot in the trash, but we do bears.   

 

 

I haven't watched Diane Fosse stuff for a long time, but it seems to be she said the big Gorillas sleep most of the 24 cycle away.  That would allow a few less calories than if they we massively active.   I'll assume it the same for Bigfoot and assume the calorie needs are similar. 

 

The source of those calories has to come from the environment Bigfoot finds itself in. 

 

Knowing the animal = an understanding it to encounter it or even trap the animal.  We just don't know enough about Bigfoot to know for sure.  It seems the only Life Support thing we can say is -like all creatures- Bigfoot needs enough food to survive and thrive.
