r. Henry Gee, a senior editor for Nature magazine, doesn’t think the climate is quite so accepting. “In my opinion, the scientific community at large regards Bigfoot as either a figment of peoples’ imagination or a hoax,” he said. Which doesn’t mean he doesn’t subscribe to his own special brand of crazy. “That’s not to deny the possibility, even if remote, that unknown human-like creatures might await discovery in some part of the world,” he said. “The discovery of fossils of Homo floresiensis, otherwise known as “The Hobbit,” a strange humanoid creature that lived in Indonesia until at least 14,000 years ago, increases that possibility.”

In other words, Sasquatch is probably fictional. But Hobbits running around in a prehistoric Middle Earth? Totally real! [emphasis mine]

This little sample here almost sets the tone for the whole article. A pure waste of pulp IMHO.

And yes, obviously Sasquatch, considering the most likely scenario that we’re dealing with a large primate, must use other means of reproduction OTHER than parthenogenesis, which would be rather dull come to think of it

Now, taking the liberty of speculation, I assume that the birth rate of the Sasquatch population might be surprisingly low. And the gestation period is probably longer than in Homo Sapiens.

The orgy story was something that I just learned of here. The branch breaking ‘contest’ was something that I saw on a TV special some years ago, reported by a man who lives in a trailer in an otherwise pretty undeveloped, wooded area where there is a lot of Bigfoot activity [no, I cant remember which channel was showing it, and I haven't owned a TV for several years now, so there various networks etc. don't readily come to mind].
The Biggie that had sex with a bovine involved a fairly long term period of sightings by an academic who had in a cabin in an isolated area. As I recall, efforts to pin down the veracity of this story have not been entirely successful, though I THINK I read that story in one of Lorens books some years ago.
The rest of what I referred to, I’ve read on the more popular Internet Bigfoot/Crypto sites or in books over the years.
In other words, while all these reports are anecdotal, they nonetheless have been gleaned from the web, books, or made for TV specials; I haven’t made any of them up.

That is a photo.

It appears not to be retouched, and also appears to show what may be nesting behavior, something not too likely to have been hoaxed.

We’ve already talked about why hoaxers would be most unlikely to do breasts; and those look very unlikely to have been hoaxed.

I can’t see feet. But the animal’s pose may be the reason.

Whatever this may be, my preliminary verdict is that the hairy hominoid called “Amy Adams” deserves serious attention.

I’ve read tons of material on bigfoot and I can’t recollect reading anything of the nature in which you describe.

Further, I agree that this gentlemen seems to speak of bigfoot orgies as if he sat in an easy chair on his back porch while the animals paraded through his yard putting on a show for him. If he’s such a good researcher, where are the pictures of this matter-o-factious bigfoot sex party?

That was western lowland gorillas. 125,000. Maybe. And populations of great apes are still plummeting or critically endangered.

I’m saddened by the Vanity Fair article. I know many of the folks referenced or ridiculed…the author is woefully wrong…JMHO

I suspect the fine folks at TBRC will be more circumspect with their media invitations in the future.

Sorry I missed this year’s TBRC conference, I look forward to attending and greeting the folks at the next TBRC event.

live and let live…
