NASA has a trick, and maybe someone here knows how to do it, of getting the vertical image from an angle image.

It does have characteristics I have not often seen in bigfoot tracks that suggest a real animal.

Off hand…they look like bear tracks to me…a few hundred pounds perhaps given the depth in the sand or soil…note the short shuffling stride…and two right feet…if I saw those here in Oklahoma I’d say a good sized black bear…closer detail of a track would help…JMHO

Totally fake, first of all it looks like something red has been sprinkled on the pathway to make the tracks show up. They are somewhat bear like but not close enough to be real. The thing most noticable is the way these tracks are laid down. Nothing sober walks like that and even a drunk would fall flat on his face trying to follow that gait. The thing, if 2 legged, is walking sideways. Come on people. fake fake fake.

I agree with the previous comments about the inward facing, pigeon toed posture. That would not be an efficient way for a truly bipedal animal to get around. Have there been other cases of a Bigfoot type creature making prints with this kind of pigeon toed gait?

These cannot belong to a bipedal animal. It would be impossible for a bipedal animal to maintain that foot posture for any extended length of time without doing serious damage to it’s leg joints, hip joints, and spine. I agree with the bear hypothesis and another option may be a known primate perhaps shuffling a short distance. But the prints look too small and round for that to be the case.

I’m fond of the sunbear idea as well. The tracks exhibit that particular inward-facing position of the feet common with many bears. And the picture is poorly shot – low position and wide aperture, which shoves the other prints out of focus. It appears the main prints in the foreground are the hind legs and the ones further ahead are the smaller forepaws. But when you shoot at this low angle, it give the impression of a receding series of bipedal prints.

"Bigfoot" is a generic term used by the media. There are all kinds of unknown primates that might be termed "Bigfoot," and many of these, of course, live in tropical and semi-tropical areas. Please refer to The Field Guide of Bigfoot and Other Mystery Primates for specific unknown hominids and pongids reported from rainforests. Comments here will be appreciated, on-topic, about the Brunei tracks. Thank you.

An above view of the prints is held by the guy in the picture, pity it’s too small.

As I’m ignorant on the subject of bears, do they usually walk on their hind legs? From the picture with the bad angle it seems that the creature which made those prints walks on two legs, but then again maybe bears walk in that manner.

I would say that this is a bear. There does appear to be print within a print. Look at what would be the heel. If it isn’t a bear, then the big foot had something tailing it. To answer any questions about big foot living in tropical climates, think of it this way: It’s not necessarily the climate they seek, but solitude from man. It just so happens that in North America and Asia the areas mankind tends to shy away from is a little colder. We have gorillas in Africa right on the equator. I read a news column a year or so ago talking about Africa’s version of big foot in Congo, and I understand Congo is hot and humid.
