MAN-MONKEY - In Search of the British Bigfoot

Product Information

Primatologist John R. Napier and anthropologist Gordon Strasenburg have suggested a species of Paranthropus as a possible candidate for Bigfoot's identity, such as Paranthropus robustus, with its gorilla-like crested skull and bipedal gait [112] —despite the fact that fossils of Paranthropus are found only in Africa.

In 1968, the frozen corpse of a supposed hair-covered hominid measuring 5feet 11inches (1.8m) was paraded around the United States as part of a traveling exhibition. Many stories surfaced as to its origin, such as it having been killed by hunters in Minnesota or killed by American soldiers near Da Nang during the Vietnam War. It was attributed by some to be proof of Bigfoot-like creatures. Primatologist John R. Napier studied the subject and concluded it was a hoax made of latex. Others disputed this, claiming Napier did not study the original subject. As of 2013, the subject, dubbed the Minnesota Iceman, was on display at the "Museum of the Weird" in Austin, Texas. [204]

In 2015, World Champion taxidermist Ken Walker completed what he believes to be a lifelike Bigfoot model based on the subject in the Patterson–Gimlin film. [258] He entered it into the 2015 World Taxidermy & Fish Carving Championships in Springfield, Missouri and was the subject of Dan Wayne's 2019 documentary Big Fur. [259] Reports of Bigfoot-like sightings in the United Kingdom naturally illicit skepticism. It’s very difficult to conceive how a massive bipedal cryptid would evade detection in a landmass as small as the island of Great Britain. We do not have the sprawling virgin forests that can be found in the United States, nor the expansive plains and deserts, mountain ranges, marshlands and swamps. Yet despite the obvious implausibility of a British Bigfoot, there have actually been innumerable sightings of such creatures, coming from all corners of the country.

Retrieved October 22, 2021.There were a few times when people made it clear to us that they didn’t want us to film when we were filming,” Rofé recalls. “There was one time where David was going to go meet somebody on his own, a new source, and it went from a broad daylight meeting in a public place to a close-to-midnight meeting in a private location after a few changes. When he got there, there were eight other people he didn’t know were going to be present. That was a tense night. They wanted to drive him three hours away in the middle of the night to yet another location to talk to someone who had a crucial piece of information. That whole night, any time David could sneak away, he was texting me with updates, just to have a record of where he was and what was happening. I didn’t know which way it would shake out. We had a few nights like that, where we didn’t know if he’d be leaving the place he’d gone to.” Brulliard, Karin (July 5, 2016). "Is bigfoot just an upright-walking bear? We asked the experts".

[116] Belief in the existence of such a large, ape-like creature is more often attributed to hoaxes, confusion, or delusion rather than to sightings of a genuine creature. [19] In a 1996 USA Today article, Washington State zoologist John Crane said, "There is no such thing as Bigfoot. No data other than material that's clearly been fabricated has ever been presented." [38] It comes just months after a photographer told Daily Star Online that he may have captured the first ever footage of a Bigfoot roaming the British countryside. Cates, Kristen (October 26, 2005).
