After viewing, It is my understanding that Ms. Scott has far less understanding about these creatures than the average field researcher, she seems to categorize everything she has heard into one theory of these animals. David Holley or Craig Woolheater or even Mr. Coleman knows far more about these animals than the uninformed Ms. Scott. I get the impression that she has never been in the woods. If someone wants to know if these animals are real or not, they would have to spend a lot of time outdoors where these beasts lie and roam. Ms. Scott is by no means any type of authority on Cryptid animals. If it’s not in the books, then it just don’t exist mentality just doesn’t jibe with reality.

Sometimes reality throws rocks at you.

I mistook the name as the late Dr. Gene Scott, the fire-brand UHF Televangelist who smoked cigars and cursed openly about viewers who weren’t calling into his TV show making considerably large donations. He also had a hot harem of women riding horses in bikinis and he’d videotape footage and use it as background footage during his call-in donation drives. LOL!

Cool article. I know of Eugenie from her anti Intelligent Design agenda but good to hear that she might support Cryptozoology.

I’ve seen her and I don’t think she’s good for anything crypto.

Her arguments are pretty easy to shoot down. She starts from the premise that apes must be tropical folivores. Kind of an issue there, like starting from the premise that the polar bear must love honey. Never mind ignoring what chimpanzees eat.

Where does she get her 5%? Science is about numbers. You posit one, you better tell where you got it.

Spouting without attention to the evidence does not, in my opinion, indicate sympathy to crypto.

She and Radford would make a nice couple, though.

Couple things…

The video does not seem to be embedded here and is not playing on Cryptomundo.

Eugenie Scott is not to be confused with cryptozoologically-friendly Eugenie Clark.

Eugenie Scott is rather unfriendly, actually, to cryptozoology, and is known to have appeared on programs saying things like “There’s no there there,” regarding cryptozoology.

Eugenie Scott lovers beware how she is presented versus whom she is.
