I believe there is something in the woods of northern Calif. that I can't identify. We were working a gold claim on the Trinity river back in the early '70's. There was a vertical mine shaft that had caved in and was about 15' deep that we used for a garbage pit. We scared something that jumped up out of the shaft screaming like a woman and took off running up the river bank. It was at least 9ft tall,covered in black hair, and ran on 2 legs. It covered a 50yrds before I could get the safety off and shoulder my .300 Savage. Sometime later, a guy that was on "In Search Of.." tracked what they thought was a bigfoot, with dogs until the scent trail just ended. That was 2 miles downstream from the claim. My partner and I never told anyone about it because we knew no one would believe us. This is the first time I've told anyone, and it's the Gods honest truth.
Cwatson, email the pic to me and I will post it for you.
Woodshermit, I am not too entirely familiar with the entire Bible. Are dinosaurs ever mentioned. They may be and I just dont know about it. My point would be that we do know that some types of animals (dinos) existed but I dont think were ever mentioned.
Also I believe there is a passage that refers to a UFO in the Bible. I'll try to find it but probably cant.

From Season 5 of Futurama, the narration from a National Bigfoot Preserve informational video:
"Bigfoot: Endangered Mystery! In the dense forests of the Pacific Northwest dwells the strange and beautiful creature known as Bigfoot, perhaps. Sadly, logging and human settlement today threaten what might possibly be his habitat, although if it's not, they don't. Bigfoot populations require vast amounts of land to remain elusive in. They typically dwell just behind rocks, but are also sometimes playful, bounding into thick fogs and out-of-focus areas."
"Remember, it's up to us. Bigfoot is a crucial part of the ecosystem if he exists. So let's all keep Bigfoot possibly alive for future generations to enjoy unless he doesn't exist."

That animal is a siamang, a species of gibbon. They come from tropical Asia. That picture actually dates to at least the 1930's.

I agree. We had great fun with this photo in my Physical Anthropology class in the late sixties,and it was old at that time. If I remember correctley, it was killed and photographed by a drilling crew working for Standard Oil.
What Macho Hunters they must have been to kill this harmless primate[xx(]
Since you gents say/know it is a Gibbon,what was the story of this picture?When where did it happen? South America like the caption that was on the photo?Did the guys(don't want to say hunters)who shot it shave it's face or something?Because the other pics I found of that type of Gibbon seem to be hairier.Was there really a DeLoys?
I think there is a sasquatch, bigfoot, Yetti or whatever you want to call it. There are too many eye witness accounts going back for hundreds of years.
Down here we call em skunk apes and yes Oklahoma has them No I haven't seen one BUT I HAVE HEARD AND SMELLED THEM. One raided our fish basket while we were camping in Northern part of Nowata County. in the 70's. We were using a wire cage 3ft by 3ft to keep our fish alive while we ran trotlines. We would run them every 3 hrs and rebait them Bring the catch back tranfer from the basket to the cage and sit around and drink and smoke and generally be teenaged boys. Around 4 in the morning csme in found our cage dragged onto the bank ripped open and a bunch of catfish partially eaten and a lot off guts and fish parts laying around. Went to the truck and our food was gone same deal but our beer was untouched. We heard some grunts and the sound of something moving out in the brush and smelled a very rank odor. An animal could not have gone in the water and pulled our cage up to the bank and a person would have taken our beer and all our equipment.
This was in 1976 and it is still one of the most frightening feeliings I've ever had. We were about 4-5 miles from Noxie that is discussed in the article at this site.

No such thing as big foot, although I have been abducted by UFO's twice now... However I am adding both bigfoot and UFO's to my list of things to ban. I will make America a safer place, look out for the crazies...

wipala, your skunk ape was a bear. They can open doors, swim, and do just about anything that you can. Luckily, that day, he wasn't thirsty. He just couldn't smell your beer.
About the only thing that I have ever smelled that was more rank than a bear (especially in spring right after they come out of hibernation) is a dead body, closely followed by someone who hasn't bathed in a loooong time. Those little aliens with the big eyes don't smell at all.

I know it exists for a fact.
I had to chew my arm off to get away from it one morning about 15 years ago.
