      I’m not sure about this one – I would think that there would have to be a sufficient population to sustain itself, and since this means a reasonable number, our chances of finding them would be greater. Particularly for such a “big” animal.
      Currently if it is real, there cannot be more than three or four – which is not unfortunately not enough to sustain the species.
      It woudl be cool if it were real though -and I’m sure there are lots of people who would love it to be so!

      Well, bigfoot might be real, it might even live on another planet maybe, but what is sure is that it is not found in the areas where a number of people have said they spotted them. There are a number of jungles in Africa and Asia where no human has ever been, and who says that such animals might not live there.

      In science lack of evidence for something does not mean that it does not exist, and this is what we should note about Sasquatch.

      Yes, absolutely!! We are discovering new species all the time and there’s nothing to say the next one won’t be a sasquatch!
      I would love Bigfoot to be real as I grew up with Harry and the Henderson’s (its a brilliant film that you should all rush out and buy!)
      There are plenty of areas that we haven’t yet explored fully so they could well be dwelling in those areas!
      To all those naysayers out there, I would like to remind them that up until recently, the komodo dragon was thought to be mythical!
