But if Bigfoot is a real flesh and blood creature, it would seem beneficial for the species to be able to communicate across long distances. And if primates are a good model for other primates, and observation tells us that at these very basic levels we are talking about, they are, it wouldn’t be out of the question that they might use something akin to the gibbon songs described in the article.

Considering all of the above, and the reports of vocalizations (grunts, howls, etc.) heard in conjunction with some sightings, I have to say that, in my opinion, any available recordings of supposed Bigfoot vocalizations are evidence that deserve close scrutiny.

As for the use of various primate calls to elicit a response from Bigfoot in the field, even if the return call might be something more akin to the “shock gobble” one can elicit from a turkey with various exotic bird calls, the evidence collected could still prove very useful so long as it the exact nature of the blast call and response are documented.

It would be interesting to listen to and compare reported Bigfoot vocalizations, from various places across the country, that were collected in response to gibbon hoots, gorilla calls, predator calls, human vocalizations, blast of other reported Bigfoot vocalizations, etc.

By then comparing these various pieces of evidence — taking particular note of what source they were responding to — and looking for both overarching patterns AND patterns in responses to various call stimuli, we could begin to try and legitimate various recordings as well as weed out probable hoaxes.

Is anyone on Cryptomundo aware of any researchers out there concentrating their studies in this direction?
