Guest kjaaleks Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 One of the fascinating ideas that I have heard is that they hunt & kill skunks in order to remove the scent gland to use as a deterrent. This would explain some of the classic skunky smell which seems to vary and would work quite well to get predators/man to steer clear of the young. Tasty snack + olfactory camouflage = win.

Trogluddite Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 (edited) I will defer to others as to your opinion on whether this is interesting or not. Out of 985 Bigfoot encounters in the northeast and eastern Canada, 42 involve encounters with a juvenile either alone or accompanied. There is a single encounter with what may have been a pregnant Bigfoot (shortest of three, belly visibly distended) which occurred in January. Beyond that, no juvenile Bigfoot has ever been encountered in the winter months (Dec - Feb). There are no credible reports of an infant Bigfoot being seen at any time. In the spring (Mar - May), juveniles are more likely to be encountered w/an adult (8 encounters) than on their own (4 encounters). In the summer (Jun - Aug), juveniles were accompanied by adults 7 times, and encountered on their own 11 times. In the fall (Sep - Nov), juveniles are again more likely to be encountered with an adult (9 encounters) than on their own (7 encounters). This strikes me as having a relatively straightforward biological explanation.

Not interested in non knower/believer comments, they'll offer nothing constructive to the topic of this thread. Fire at will. No fire. Maybe they know an old trick to keep a baby happy and stop crying. You simply put a cantankerous baby lengthwise on your arm, kind of like you were going to let the little feller "fly" like Superman. They'll shut up immediately - and start taking in everything in front of them. Spread your hand across their chest, angle them up about 15-30 degrees, and that's how you can keep one quiet. Amazed at the number of parents who don't know that trick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
