Notice how the camera stays steady and doesn’t jerk around all over the place. Pay attention, people, that is how to take a video when you come across a sasquatch. The subject is clearly what is claimed. Then again, I’m not sure how steady the camera would be if this was an 8 foot tall hominid in the guy’s front yard instead of a bear.

“It’s weird that the bear either didn’t seem to care that it was being watched or was only thinking about food.”

I was thinking about that video today, and that bear is doing a LOT of thinking about ALL angles of the situation. In fact, it’s body language reveals a complex internal dialogue which I will attempt to summarize:

A moose holy COW a moose. And it looks takeable: I may get one or two things like this a year. For a human this is a Caribbean cruise spread. But it’s on their territory. This is NOT good; this is like a human coming across me and this moose on a trail in my neighborhood. Humans are unpredictable, and stupid. You don’t know what they’ll do. But I can’t let this opp pass. Any of ‘em around? hmmmmmm…..let’s try it, let’s go….OK, it’s down. I can’t cover it up or guard it, not here, no way. Let’s try to drag it out of here, see if I can manage that. Whew. No way. I’m starving; I NEED TO EAT. But not here, I can’t eat here. I can’t believe I’m gonna have to leave this here; but I can’t protect it, or myself, here. I gotta go. I really have to. OK, suck it up, sometimes you win sometimes you lose…[sigh]…let’s go….damn…..NO WAY CAN I LEAVE THAT! That’s the best food I’m getting this year. GOTTA go back, OK, going back now….maybe just a bite or two. Let’s get something good, eat the best first with something like this….mmmm, that’s good, wish my stomach wasn’t doing cartwheels…can’t do this, this is like eating with one of their boomsticks at my head, dammit dammit DAMMIT, I gotta go now….

Trust me. Everything I see and read says this.

1. A juvenile (wily, lots of moves, but a bit on the small side);

2. A female (likely the involvement of breasts could provide – and speculatively draw on – all kinds of interesting data for human females involved in contact sports like, say, boxing, wrestling or judo) ;

3. A classic large male, 8-9 feet tall.

Yes, we’d be presuming, I’d think, what the anecdotal evidence says about speed, strength and agility. They’re pretty consistently reported. And of course, judging by a lot of the TV programming I have wind of from there, a Japanese audience would be interested in assessing the outliers:

4. A 16-foot purple sas with telepathy and orb capabilities.

I like getting away from it all — but not sure I’d want to be far enough away for that to happen in my driveway! Different strokes, I s’pose.

Sure does highlight the randomness of seeing unusual things — including BF.
