Well Rev, a few years back, after a lot of drinking, I woke up next to a beast. I'll be honest, it was there. I didn't think to grab a camera though.

That's what makes it so interesting. It's a worldwide thing. Stories, legends, sightings from all over the world. How could such isolated cultures all have so similar creatures? We're just now entering the golden age of photography. Used to be it was rare to have a camera on hand, but now every cell phone, mp3 player, etc has a camera on it. So, theoretically the chances of a good pic should rise.

Really new species are discovered all the time. Mostly just different kinds of already known breeds, but every now and then you get a coelacanth.

I know new species are found. Look at the large deer/antelope found in the Vietnam jungle in the '90s. I guess if a large mammel like that can hide out for centuries, then I guess a large primate could also. So I will agree, "Never say never."

However I do not feel the same about Bigfoot here in the USA. Maybe it all the hoaxes and wackos through the years that have made me a hard core skeptic on this issue.

If you are going out looking for BigFoot, PLEASE take a GOOD camera

Are you trying to tell me that Bigfoot is offspring of some desperate Whisky Tango Georgian who got frisky with a possum?

It was a lonely, cold night of camping.
