Bigfoot Research
in a Nutshell
|
An increasing number of well-informed, senior primatologists
say sasquatches might be surviving gigantos.
"Giganto" is the scientific nickname for Gigantopithecus
Blacki
(pronounced : "JI-GAN-TOE-PITH-A-KUSS BLACK--EE")
Gigantos looked strikingly similar to sasquatches
-- the large, upright, ape-like animals seen in recent times in
forests of North America.
Ancient gigantos had a very distinct appearance. They were more
than twice the height of early humans. Fossil remains show gigantos
stood over nine feet tall. The tallest, strongest human atheletes
today would appear small standing next to one.
Thousands of credible modern witnesses describe brief encounters
with giant, hairy ape-like animals resembling gigantos.

Ecologists say the bodies and bones of a rare, forest dwelling
species such as this one, would not be found and identified
with any regularity.
Modern human hunters see sasquatches
in daylight on occasion, but usually from a distance. Hunters
are usually not inclined to shoot at them, due to their human-like
shape and movement.

The Skookum Cast from southern Washington won the support of
the nation's top primatologists. The cast was obtained on a
BFRO expedition in 2000.
This footage is from the Blue Mountains of eastern Washington.
This footage is from the northern Cascade Mountains in Washington.

Contrary to distorted media reporting, this footage from Northern
California has never been debunked :
Anatomists can distinguish the Patterson figure from a human
by comparing the limb ratios and muscle sizes in side-by-side
images. |

Science, and the Costume
Hollywood costume makers cannot re-create the Patterson creature.
Whenever they try it becomes apparent that the Patterson figure's
skeletal and muscular anatomy is different from a human's
skeletal and muscular anatomy.
Normally, the scientific method requires repeatability of
an experiment to establish scientific proof. In this case
the non-repeatability of the Patterson creature is
evidence itself.
It should be a relatively simple matter to make a reasonably
close match to the Patterson creature, if it were simply a
human in a costume.

Patterson costume replica. Click here

Casts were made of the footprints left behind by
the Patterson creature. The measurements of the footprint
casts allow the height and mass of the figure to be calculated.
It was over seven (7) tall and weighed well over 800 pounds.
It had proportionately longer arms and shorter legs than a
human.
Close examination of the moving footage shows that it could
not be a padded costume. Its super-sized muscles can be seen
flexing as it moves.
Costume technology that can mimic flexing muscles was not
invented until 20 years after the footage was obtained.
