Point taken, Alamo. I just have a problem with someone with wings creating these!

I spent a great deal of my childhood and about half my adult life running around barefoot, couple of things strike me:

1) There is little, if any, movement in the prints. Take a look at the 1st print and compare to the shoe print in the center of the 2nd picture. You see that ridge around the edges of the shoe print? That’s because body weight and inertia causes the feet to slide around some after the initial placement, leaving a central impression with surrounding outlines from the corollary movement, pressing the mud upwards around it. The more an animal weighed and the faster it was moving, the more pronounced this would be. From the prints, whatever left the marks weighed less than the people wearing the sneakers and moved so slowly and gingerly that the impression is just about picture perfect with no surrounding outlines.

2) When walking barefoot on a squishy surface with reduced traction, the toes will automatically grip downwards, digging for purchase… the delineation between the toes is extremely sharp, indicating they were static and did not move around in relation to one another and the impression is shallow, not showing the natural tendency of toes to curl downward into the mud.

… just my two cents

I agree with IFC, there doesn’t seem to be any weight contributed to the ball of the foot or the heel, also the alleged sasquatch’s footprint is the same depth as the guy’s shoe print, shouldn’t a seven + foot tall extremely heavy beast make a deeper impact into what seems to be very soft mud??

I cant make out the length of the footprint from the photo, does anyone know?, it looks like the same length as the shoe print, which could just be a human footprint in the mud.

However, it would be a great find if Dr. Meldrum proves the footprints are real, but it “sure looks like a squatchy area”.

I think we should wait until the casts are examined for dermal ridges. I don’t believe those can be faked.

The first print looks like it was pressed into the ground and lifted straight up leaving a perfect print.It doesn’t look like a print a walking animal would leave.

Yo NZcryptozoologist, Do bears wear shoes? Their toes curve in.

Thank you Sasquatchupclose. I will fix that! I hope you all listen to the interview. In all they cast over 70 prints of the 150+. Thom Powell was there also casting prints. As of yesterday the prints have begun to deteriorate, therefore Meldrum will probably not be going today and will study the casts.
Thank you to Scott Taylor of the BFRO for sharing with other people and organizations.

interesting…. to me, the footprints in the photos look too perfect…. not like the stuff you usually see from “famous” prints.

keep in mind i am just a normal person with zero scientific knowledge, just saying what i see.

but ya… why not flood that area with cameras?

SOMETHING is there doing it. right?

Personally i think this is a fake as the big toe curves in – a sure sign of someone who has worn shoes as the toe curves inward as one would expect fron someone who has spent a long time wearing shoes. The shoes mould the toes. Those the dont wear shoes the big toe is in alignment with the side of the foot, and in some cases pulls away from the second toe.

I’m waiting for Dr. Meldrum’s take on the footprints/casts…
