Animals

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

2 Dead As Search For Sasquatch Takes Tragic Turn
Volunteers "fought through freezing temperatures, snow, high water levels, heavy rain, downfall, and heavily wooded terrain" to find the pair, said authorities.
Spoiler:
Sasquatch didn't kill the fools.
... They were located “in a heavily wooded area” and “both deaths appear to be due to exposure, based on weather conditions and ill-preparedness,” said the sheriff’s office....
Or was it Sasquatch, indirectly? :twisted:

They're not fungi like Matango or plants like Groot and Audrey II.

Yeti am open to suggestions, even Abominable ones. Your wisdom leaves a Bigfootprint. Which thread would you have chosen?

Given what the two guys did, I might have put in Darwin Awards, but I'm just having some fun with it. But if you believe the pics, Sasquatch may be more humanoid than simian. I'm not really a Sasquatch believer, but I don't find it reasonable to dismiss the possibility out of hand. If you compare to other creature you know to exist, it isn't impossible for Sasquatch to exist yet be rarely if ever seen. Consider: there are 6,000 moose in northeast Vermont, yet you don't see one very often. There are about that many bears in WNC and how often do you encounter one hiking the forest. (Urban bears don't count here). Now how often when you do see a moose or bear in the forest do you have your camera immediately ready. More likely now, but before there were cellphone cameras, hardly any chance. And how often have you run across a dead bear or moose carcass? Wildcats, Florida Panthers, mountain lions, all exist and occasionally seen, but rarely. Now suppose a creature of at least ape-level intelligence, who is very rare, and really doesn't want public interaction. It doesn't seem unlikely to me at all that Sasquatch could be real and yet never reliably seen.

Humanoids aren't animals?

My personal experience doesn't matter. I'm confident that one of the millions of Washington hunters over the decades would have nailed one or stumbled on a carcass.

You didn't say which thread would you have chosen.

I don't know if Flat Rock counts a urban, but we had a resident on my mountain.

I've had two fleeting sightings in Dupont and two in Pisgah (in 25 years).

There were often nuisance type bears around Pisgah Inn.
