Alileelei Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Just wondering if anyone knows of any experiments where suspected bigfoot sounds/calls were played for any large primates (and/or other wild animals/potential prey) and their reactions/responses recorded/noted. could possibly be an interesting experiment!

Madison5716 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 (edited) Lots of folks use call blasting - I'm sure you could google it or look on YouTube. I'm not interested in it, though. Who knows what the sasquatch was saying when it was recorded. Edited March 2, 2022 by Madison5716 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would certainly be an interesting experiment. I'm unaware of any documentation regarding such and experiment, but I would love to see the reactions of great apes such as gorillas or especially orangutans. Similar vocalization response studies have been conducted with known great apes, so the premise for such an experiment seems scientifically sound. The function of loud calls (Hoot Series) in wild western gorillas (Gorilla gorilla) Roberta Salmi et al.

My thought was to see how other species react. I’d be curious more specifically how great apes like gorillas or chimps would think about the Sierra sounds/“samurai talk”. 3 hours ago, Hoekler73 said: This would certainly be an interesting experiment.
