<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><b>Three separate DNA tests of the hair reported it “came from a human-like creature which is not a Homosapien yet is more closely related to man than a monkey”.</b></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><b>Yeti hunters claim Yeti DNA is less than one per cent different to that of a human. But no-one has confirmed that “fact” to date, because no Yeti has ever been found or tested for DNA.</b></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><b>Until now. The DNA tests were carried out at universities in Moscow, St Petersburg at Idaho in the US. It is understood a fourth DNA test is also being carried out in the UK.</b></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">What do you think? Is it real? Or just a huge hoax? Tell us below.</span></strong></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><b>“We had ten samples of hair to study, and have concluded that they belong to mammal, but not a human, and not the animals known to the area where they were found, like a bear, or wolf, or goat, or any other animal,” Professor Valentin Sapunov of the Russian State Hydrometeorological Institute said.</b></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><b>“It was a branch of our university in St Petersburg that carried out a DNA test, and the Zoological Institute of Russian Academy of Sciences. The tests were performed by laboratory of electronic microscopy and laboratory of molecular genealogical classification.”</b></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><b>The “Yeti hair” was allegedly found in Siberia’s Azasskaya Cave by Dr Igor Birtsev, Russia’s leading advocate of the existence of the abominable snowman.</b></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><b>But is it all an elaborate hoax? That’s the suggestion the <em>Siberian Times </em>is making this morning after Dr Birtsev strangely played down the findings.</b></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><b>“I doubt that they have indeed managed to carry out a DNA test on Azasskaya Cave hair, and doubt that they found how close the Yeti is to humans by its DNA,” he was quoted as saying.</b></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><b>“It has not been done anywhere in the world. I take it that they've worked with electronic microscopes, but have they compared it to other samples? I am not sure. So I am rather sceptical about Valentin Sapunov's conclusions.”</b></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><b>Could it maybe have something to do with the fact that a major bookmaker is offering 100-1 odds on the existence of a yeti being proven by the end of 2012?</b></span></span></div>

<span style="color: white;"><b>POCATELLO — The next phase in the search for Bigfoot is about to take flight.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><b><img alt="Bigfoot blimp" height="202" src="http://bloximages.chicago2.vip.townnews.com/idahostatejournal.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/5/7b/57bab4fc-3c4e-11e2-9fd6-001a4bcf887a/50bafd4955add.preview-300.jpg" width="400" /></b></span><br />

<a name='more'></a><span style="background-color: black;"><iframe bordercolor="#000000" frameborder="0" height="250" hspace="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://ad.doubleclick.net/adi/N7433.148119.BLOGGEREN/B6675004.70387;sz=300x250;ord=[timestamp]?;lid=41000613802463762;pid=WT320;usg=AFHzDLv02R-AB_u8qbNLEl0rVLZ5O3yI4A;adurl=http%253A%252F%252Fwww.funtoymall.com%252Fwt320.html%253Fmr%253AtrackingCode%253D2B7ED99A-523B-E211-8FF3-001B21BCC0BC%2526mr%253AreferralID%253DNA;pubid=602320;price=%2460.61;title=World+Racing+Nitro+44011+multi+3ch+Goodyear+Blimp+Remote+Control;merc=FuntoyMall;imgsrc=http%3A%2F%2Fsite.unbeatablesale.com%2Fimg060%2Fwt320.jpg;width=250;height=131" vspace="0" width="300"></iframe></span></span><span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"></span><span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"></span></b></span><div class="encrypted-content" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="color: white;"><b style="background-color: black;"> Meldrum is almost as famous, or depending on the audience, infamous, as the mythical creatures he chases. But, despite all the naysayers, the good-natured professor is optimistic this is the future of wildlife research.</b></span></div>
<div class="encrypted-content" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="color: white;"><b style="background-color: black;"> “Admittedly, this is a prototype,” Meldrum said. “But, why would you not pursue the opportunity?”</b></span></div>
<div class="encrypted-content" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="color: white;"><b style="background-color: black;"> The unmanned dual airship, dubbed “The Falcon Project” because of the blimp’s ability to “fly high and see far,” is the first of its kind. The helium-filled aircraft looks like something out of science fiction and is equipped with a nearly silent proprietary propulsion system that can carry the blimp at speeds of 35-45 miles per hour and maneuver with the kind of precision necessary to track a fast-moving animal. Or the 45-foot aircraft can simply hover over an area. </b></span></div>
<div class="encrypted-content" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="color: white;"><b style="background-color: black;"> The airship is the brainchild of Williams Barnes, a former gold miner, whose fascination with Bigfoot was born 15 years ago after Barnes said he encountered a Sasquatch in the California wilderness.</b></span></div>
<div class="encrypted-content" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="color: white;"><b style="background-color: black;"> After a 90-second glimpse of what Barnes describes as an “elegant, fluid” animal standing over 6’ tall, the question of whether Bigfoot actually existed was no longer a question for Barnes. But the experience launched his quest to film the mysterious creatures in the wild.</b></span></div>
<div class="encrypted-content" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="color: white;"><b style="background-color: black;"> That’s why Barnes’ futuristic zeppelin, originally conceptualized for the film industry, also flies with a specially built gyro-stabilized camera equipped with infrared, thermal imaging and High Definition capabilities. The one-of-a-kind camera is also capable of zooming in on a target and quickly tracking its position.</b></span></div>
<div class="encrypted-content" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="color: white;"><b style="background-color: black;"> “The beauty of this is the combination of stealth and maneuverability,” Meldrum said.</b></span></div>
<div class="encrypted-content" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="color: white;"><b style="background-color: black;"> With plans to deploy the airship in selected areas of habitat where reports suggest Sasquatch may range, Meldrum said he believes the Falcon Project will permit researchers to approach and observe the elusive Bigfoot with no disturbance of their subject’s natural behavior. </b></span></div>
<div class="encrypted-content" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="color: white;"><b style="background-color: black;"> The airborne method will also allow surveillance in areas of dense stands of forest, providing for the sustained, vertical observation of animals on the forest floor, a task which has been impossible until now.</b></span></div>
<div class="encrypted-content" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="color: white;"><b style="background-color: black;"> “I’m convinced on the evidence that there are these creatures out there, that this species exists,” Meldrum said. “I’m also convinced that they are extremely rare and extremely far-ranging and solitary. Those qualities make it a creature which is very difficult to study.” </b></span></div>
<div class="encrypted-content" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="color: white;"><b style="background-color: black;"> The Falcon Project offers a novel approach to researching such creatures. In fact, the technology is so cutting edge the group was able to earn the approval of Idaho State as a research project, which not only lends legitimacy to the endeavor, but that university backing paved the way to secure the government permits necessary to fly this type of sophisticated aircraft.</b></span></div>
<div class="encrypted-content" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="color: white;"><b style="background-color: black;"> But, while ISU has approved the idea, the university is not funding the ambitious project. That means Meldrum and his team must rely on private donations, with the group needing a minimum of $300,000 to get the blimp off the ground. </b></span></div>
<div class="encrypted-content" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="color: white;"><b style="background-color: black;"> Fundraising efforts are currently under way, and Meldrum is hopeful the group could reach their minimum goal in just a few weeks.</b></span></div>
<div class="encrypted-content" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="color: white;"><b style="background-color: black;"> So, is the Falcon Project the final frontier in the hunt for Bigfoot? For Meldrum, the answer to that question doesn’t really matter because the chase is so much of what science is about for him. </b></span></div>
<div class="encrypted-content" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="color: white;"><b style="background-color: black;"> “I’m fascinated by mystery,” he said. “For me, the part of science that was so appealing was the exploration and discovery.” </b></span></div>
<div class="encrypted-content" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="color: white;"><b style="background-color: black;"> And, it’s that thrill of the unknown that continues to drive his research. </b></span></div>
<div class="encrypted-content" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="color: white;"><b style="background-color: black;"> “A lot of science is mundane and rote and people don’t undertake projects unless they are pretty confident of what the outcome is going to be already. So, where’s the fun, where’s the adventure, where’s the spirit of exploration?” the professor asked.</b></span></div>
<div class="encrypted-content" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="color: white;"><b style="background-color: black;"> Tax deductible donations for ongoing operations of The Falcon Project can currently be made through the ISU Foundation, and the project will soon be featured on the popular website <a href="http://kickstarter.com/">kickstarter.com</a>, which is a community-based fundraising platform for independently created ventures. Further information about the project can also be found at<a href="http://www.the-falconproject.com/">www.the-falconproject.com</a>.</b></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Since arriving here in the Adirondacks, I've heard occasionally from Sasquatch believers. One guy very kindly sent me a photograph of a lumpy chunk of stuff that he claimed was the mold of a footprint — a really big footprint, as you might imagine.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">The issue surfaced again earlier this month, when state Conservation biologist Gordon Batcheller dispatched a letter to folks organizing a bigfoot convention in New York.

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">There is actually a really fun video of a purported bigfoot sighting in the Adirondacks on Youtube. Check it out.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="215" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/GoZZBys2gmk" width="460"></iframe><br />This comes as a woman is making headlines, <a href="http://newsfeed.time.com/2012/11/29/bigfoot-is-part-human-according-to-dubious-sounding-bigfoot-dna-tests/" style="text-decoration: initial;">including in Time magazine</a>, for her claim that she has sequenced the DNA of sasquatch.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">So let me acknowledge a clear bias: I side firmly with the bigfoot deniers.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">The idea that some kind of shaggy man-like critter still haunts the wilds of North America — let alone the Adirondacks — is fun but fanciful. It's flat earth stuff.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">That said, I think the lingering power of this story speaks to its enduring elements.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">We humans are drawn for some weird, Jungian reason to the idea of "wild men" haunting the untamed spaces at the edge of our world.</span></span></div>

<div style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Perhaps it's a hard-wired legacy of that long-ago time when Homo sapiens <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2012/aug/14/study-doubt-human-neanderthal-interbreeding" style="text-decoration: initial;">really did co-exist nervously with more primitive and powerful Neanderthal cousins</a>.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Even now, when "wilderness" is confined to scraps of dwindling park land, we are thrilled by the notion that bogeymen still lurk at the edge of our towns and suburbs.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">As stories, I think these figments are useful and cool.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">There is real mystery and power to the idea of wildness, to the notion that something important exists in the vast non-human realm that surrounds us.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Embodying that mystery in a shaggy, shadowy, half-glimpsed figure at the edge of a field is an understandable human impulse, a kind of shorthand or symbol.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">The great failing here — again, this is my bias — is literalism.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">People who want Sasquatch to be "true" and "real" in the same way that, say, a cross-town bus is real, or a DMV clerk is real, are sure to be disappointed.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Bigfoot's power is that he is a myth, a story. You won't capture him on film. You won't find a scrap of his DNA, or a clear print of his foot. You'll never put him in a cage at a zoo.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Whenever you reach the treeline where you think he's hiding, the shadowy figure will have crept away to the next treeline, or the far ridge of hills. Which is exactly where Sasquatch belongs.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333015441895px; line-height: 24px;">William Barnes used to camp out alone in the woods for 5 months out of the year, until one night, something big woke up him at 2 o' clock in the morning. He told no one about his "horrifying" encounter, until 4 years after, telling his best friend, who ironically, was in the same situation.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333015441895px; line-height: 24px;">They found out that 16 locals have actually encountered one, and this inspired William Barnes to start an amazing project called "Project Falcon". Project Falcon is going to be a one of a kind 'Bigfoot Expedition", using multiple large Balloons, almost like a blimp, to search for the elusive beast. His goal: Acquire several 35 foot helium balloons equipped with thermal vision recording devices, and film a sasquatch for 45 minutes. He is going to release them over 13 different states, where there have been sightings. This project, during activity will last around a year.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333015441895px; line-height: 24px;">This project is going to cost around $200,000. He is receiving donations towards the project from places as far as Russia.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333015441895px; line-height: 24px;">Will this finally be us researchers "big break"?

<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Georgia; font: inherit; line-height: 20px; padding: 15px 0px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">In a research paper, “currently under peer review,” Ketchum says she and colleagues have sequenced the genomes from at least 20 “purported Sasquatch samples,” and concluded that “the North American Sasquatch is a hybrid species, the result of males of an unknown hominin species crossing with female Homo sapiens.”</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Ketchum says the DNA sequencing suggests that Sasquatch is a human relative that arose about 15,000 years ago.</span></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Georgia; font: inherit; line-height: 20px; padding: 15px 0px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Taking her belief in Sasquatch’s existence to an even higher level, Ketchum suggests that law enforcement and public officials recognize the Sasquatch as an indigenous people and protect their Constitutional rights.</span></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Georgia; font: inherit; line-height: 20px; padding: 15px 0px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">“Genetically, the Sasquatch are a human hybrid with unambiguously modern human maternal ancestry,” Ketchum said in the release. “Government at all levels must recognize them as an indigenous people and immediately protect their human and Constitutional rights against those who would see in their physical and cultural differences a ‘license’ to hunt, trap, or kill them.”</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">More details on the study will be presented “in the near future” when the study is published, according to the news release. In the meantime, many Sasquatch-watchers say they are skeptical. “If the data are good and the science is sound, any reputable science journal would jump at the chance to be the first to publish this groundbreaking information,” wrote <a href="http://www.livescience.com/25047-bigfoot-dna-human-ancestor.html" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgb(255, 94, 153); margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">Benjamin Radford</a>, deputy editor of Skeptical Inquirer magazine. “Until then, Ketchum has refused to let anyone else see her evidence.” Radford suggested it may have been contaminated by human handlers, if it exists at all.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #f3f3f3;"><br /><span style="line-height: 1.4;">Please don't let this be true. I pray to Baby Jesus that this isn't true. If the Dogman is real, I'm quitting Bigfoot for good. According to Robert "The Machine Gun" Lindsay, sources have mentioned to him that Ketchum's team had been testing Dogman DNA and that they have confirmed it to be a "separate entity from Bigfoot". Lindsay isn't sure how they got the information, but if it's true, I suggest people ask Ketchum for their Bigfoot DNA samples back and send it to Dr. Sykes instead. Again-- Lord, please don't let this be true.</span><br /><span style="line-height: 1.4;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=8414545662754887549&pli=1" name="more"></a></span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #f3f3f3;">Dr. Melba Ketchum team says Dogman is a separate entity from Bigfoot, apparently another species or subspecies. This is incredible news. A source inside the Ketchum camp have informed me that the Ketchum camp believes that Dogman is a separate entity from Bigfoot, either another species or subspecies. How they came to this conclusion, I have no idea.<br /><br /><a href="http://robertlindsay.wordpress.com/2012/08/22/bigfoot-news-august-22-2012/" style="text-decoration: none;">- Robert Lindsay</a></span></span></blockquote>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #f3f3f3;"><br /><span style="line-height: 1.4;">Dogmen are creatures that have been seen and reported by witnesses in parts of Canada and the northern United States. Some of the most compelling evidence suggesting the existence of the Dogman is known as the "</span><a href="http://bigfootevidence.blogspot.com/2012/05/beast-of-seven-chutes-what-heck-is-it.html" style="line-height: 1.4; text-decoration: none;">Beast of Seven Chutes Photo</a><span style="line-height: 1.4;">". According to the witness who took the photograph, although what he saw was standing bipedally (similar to Bigfoot), other attributes were different. Unlike the typical Bigfoot, the creature is much shorter, only standing 5-6 feet tall.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #f3f3f3;">It has an elongated snout that appears doglike as well as silver hair on its head reaching to it's shoulders. The creatures body is black and it's left arm is visible, bent at the elbow and, quite remarkably, the creature is holding a white dog.<br /><br />It was dark in color but tipped silvery gray...its eyes were glittery and dark, they had no sclera or whites like a human eye in a mask would have. It's head was big, almost too big for its body. It had an elongated snout, but pointy, not rounded like a Lab's.</span></span></blockquote>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">A group camping in Sequoia National Park captured the screams of an unknown animal on video around 8:00am. The sound is quite eerie and intense. The camera man reported that the sounds were coming from the East. In the video, the sounds seem to grow louder, suggesting that whatever was screaming was moving closer to the group's position.<a name='more'></a></span><br style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;" /><a href="" name="more" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"></a><br style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">See video below.</span><br style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;" /></span><div style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;">

There is a hint of perhaps coyote mixed in with the sound of the screams, but it's definitely different. At the first viewing of this video, I was immediately reminded of the scream I was able to capture on video in the Sulphur River bottoms. </span><br style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">There was an initial eerie scream similar to the ones heard in the video above that set off a pack of coyotes. As soon as I heard the scream I turned on my ipod and was able to capture another scream in the middle of a chorus of coyotes. The sound is completely different from that of the coyotes.</span><br style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">See below.</span><br style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;" /></span><div style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Bigfoot, also known as sasquatch, is the name given to an ape-like creature that some people believe inhabits forests, mainly in the Pacific Northwest region of North America. Bigfoot is usually described as a large, hairy, bipedal humanoid. The term sasquatch is an anglicized derivative of the Halkomelem word sásq’ets.[2][3]</span><br />

Who knows what personal hygienic damage he would have done to Birds Nest Stadium!"<br /><br />Dr. Karl Blinng, Director of the YETI not SETI Institute in exotic Yuba City, California, immediately called an emergency press conference at a local Jack-in-the-Box restaurant to exploit, errr, explain this amazing Sasquatch sighting in China.

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Pete Wilson is a patient man, and patience is a useful virtue for a bigfoot researcher.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 9px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">After years of working in the field and investigating reported bigfoot encounters by others, Wilson has been rewarded with seeing a few likely footprints and hearing what he thinks was the howl of a sasquatch.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 9px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Also, he said, "we've had rocks thrown at us, which is a common trait among bigfoot."</span></div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 9px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">But he has learned enough to give him hope that he'll actually see a sasquatch in his lifetime.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 9px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">"I'm pretty convinced they're real, but I've got to get that sighting," he said. "I've got to prove it to myself."</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 9px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Wilson, who moved to Billings from Virginia in June, is hoping other Montanans will help him in his quest. He has founded Sasquatch Watch of Montana and has created a website so people can report sightings or otherwise get involved in the search.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 9px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">The bad news is that Eastern Montana appears to be barren ground when it comes to the bigfoot.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 9px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">"The Pryor Mountains might be the closest one to have some potential, but I kind of doubt it," he said.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 9px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">The good news is that there have been at least 30 sasquatch reports in Western Montana, starting at about Livingston, Wilson said.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 9px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">One of the most famous sightings ever, in the Bitterroot Mountains between Montana and Idaho, was recounted by Teddy Roosevelt in his book "The Wilderness Hunter." Roosevelt told the hair-raising story of a "grizzled, weather beaten old mountain hunter" whose companion was killed by an unknown beast that walked on two legs and left huge footprints all around the victim.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 9px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Wilson is particularly interested in reports filed by Stan Courtney, a bigfoot researcher in Illinois. Courtney told The Gazette that his brother Dale, who lives in Laurel, had some strange experiences at a campground in the Little Belt Mountains near Martinsdale in 2004.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 9px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Courtney went to the campground in 2005 and recorded what he is convinced are the sounds of a "large biped" walking past his motor home. Wilson wants to go there himself, and to other likely spots in Montana.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 9px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Wilson said he grew up in Michigan and got seriously into bigfoot research after reading some books on the subject in the late 1980s. Moving around the country, he got involved in bigfoot research in Kansas, Oklahoma and Virginia, among other places.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 9px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Billy Willard, director of Sasquatch Watch of Virginia, said he and Wilson "spent quite a few hours in the woods."</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 9px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">"We hated to lose him to Montana, but you have to go where the work is," he said. Wilson works in avionics for Edwards Jet Center.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 9px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">The highlight of Wilson's researches came in northern Oklahoma in 2008. He and another investigator were on private property where there had been numerous bigfoot sightings over 25 years.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 9px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">"We found three consecutive footprints that had a 5-foot spread between them," he said.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 9px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Unfortunately, the prints were in small gravel near a stream, and attempts to make plaster casts of them were unsuccessful, he said.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 9px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">He said the tracks "weren't overly large," maybe 13 or 14 inches long but quite wide, maybe six inches. And the prints seemed to show a " midtarsal break," a throwback to the apes, whose feet were made for climbing and grasping rather than walking.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 9px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Jeffrey Meldrum, a professor of anatomy and anthropology at Idaho State University, has studied hundreds of photographs and casts of purported bigfoot prints and has done much to publicize the significance of the midtarsal break.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 9px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">In an interview, he said the feature combines elements of the human foot and an ape's foot and seems to be an adaptation designed for walking on steep, broken slopes.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 9px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">After years of research, he said, "I'm quite confident they (sasquatches) exist. I wouldn't have exposed my career to the ridicule ... if I wasn't convinced of my evidence and my conclusions."</span></div>

<blockquote style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Last year a 140-pound cougar was killed on a highway in Connecticut, far outside its natural habitat. As the New York Times noted,</span><br />
<blockquote>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">So where had this cougar come from? Now we know the answer, and it couldn't be more astonishing. Wildlife officials, who at first assumed the cat was a captive animal that had escaped its owners, examined its DNA and concluded that it was a wild cougar from the Black Hills of South Dakota. It had wandered at least 1,500 miles before meeting its end at the front of an S.U.V. in Connecticut.</span></blockquote>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br />One wonders how many people saw the cougar during its journey halfway across the United States; did anyone see the elusive creature and think it might be an unknown creature or monster?</span></blockquote>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; line-height: 20px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; line-height: 20px;">So there it is. Bigfoot is an escaped zoo or circus animal, seen from behind, walking on two legs. Or a bear. Or cougar. Well, that solves that!</span></span><br />

<i><span style="background-color: black; color: white;">By Georgina Kenyon | 16 August 2012</span></i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); font-family: tahoma, geneva, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin: 10px 20px; padding: 10px 20px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Yeti, Bigfoot, Sasquatch and Yowie - names that conjure up images of giant reclusive creatures that never quite stay still long enough for the photographer to focus their camera.<br />Over the years, hundreds of sightings of these supposedly mythical beasts have been recorded around the world by the public and so-called cryptozoologists, who scour the world in search of evidence for their existence. “Proof” comes in many forms, from fuzzy photographs and shaky videos to plaster casts of footprints and tufts of hair. But, as yet, none of these encounters has provided any conclusive evidence and cryptozoology remains a field largely disregarded by science. Instead, with a knowing look and a snigger, “sightings” of “cryptids” are explained away as hoaxes, existing species or the products of over excited imaginations.<br /><br />So it makes it all the more extraordinary that established scientists would become involved in a search that, on the face of it, looks like it could help to prove whether or not these undocumented creatures exist. But, in May of this year, researchers from Switzerland and the UK did just that when they launched the Oxford-Lausanne Collateral Hominid Project.<br /><br />“It’s one of the claims by cryptozoologists that science does not take them seriously. Well, this is their chance. We are calling for people to send us their evidence, and we will test it through DNA analysis,” says Bryan Sykes, a professor of human genetics at the University of Oxford in the UK.<br /><br />It is likely that the project is the biggest and most comprehensive attempt yet to probe suspected “remains”. “Nothing like this, on this level, has been done before,” says Richard Freeman from the Centre for Fortean Zoology in the UK. But therein lies the rub. For people like Freeman who devote their lives to looking for these creatures, it is the biggest signal yet that after years out in the cold mainstream science is finally taking the seriously. But for some scientists, the whole venture is an embarrassing curiosity to be held at arm’s length.<br /><br />Sykes is no stranger to media storms. As well as his work retrieving ancient DNA samples and mapping human migration through DNA analysis, he is also the founder of a business called Oxford Ancestors, which helps people trace their relatives through DNA for a fee. In 2003, the company claimed that an accountant from South Florida was a direct descendent of the Mongolian warlord Genghis Khan – something that sparked headlines around the world. Later analysis – and headlines –suggested that his company’s interpretation was incorrect.<br /><br />Hair today...<br /><br />If the episode scarred Sykes, it does not show. His new project was similarly announced to much fanfare, again sending headline writers into overdrive. “Scientists seek big genes of bigfoot”, read one. But the professor says that the response was to be expected. Myths and legends about these creatures loom large in every culture and the idea of finally finding solid evidence for their existence is appealing, no matter who you are. “It’s a story that just does not go away, we are so intrigued by these quests for the unknown, even doubters want to hear about developments,” he says.<br /><br />For his own part, he says that he sees “no reason why there cannot be species not yet known to science”, but adds the caveat that he would “need to see the evidence”. He is also keen to point out that he is not – nor intends to become – a cryptozoologist. “I don’t not want to become completely eccentric,” he adds.<br /><br />The idea for the project came about in 2011 when Sykes visited Dr Michel Sartori, the Director of the Museum of Zoology in Lausanne in Switzerland. Out of sheer curiosity, Sykes had gone to view the museum’s extensive library of books on cryptozoology, including over 40,000 documents and photos from a collection donated by the late Belgian-French scientist Bernard Heuvelmans. He was a trained zoologist, who also spent much of his life looking for cryptids. The museum holds many of his books, such as In the Wake of the Sea-Serpents, which records “sightings” of giant squids and whale-like animals.<br /><br />During the visit, the pair began to wonder if they could build on Huevelmans’s work and expand the museum’s display. “We started to think it would really enhance the collection if we also had specimens of ‘cryptids’ on show,” says Sartori.<br /><br />And so the Hominid project was born. The team have put a call out for people around the world to submit samples to the team before September, along with theories about what they could be. They then plan to use DNA barcoding to test each specimen. It is a technique that is widely used in biology. For example it is used by food inspectors to check what is served up on a plate is what a restaurant says it is. Customs officials also use it to stop trafficking of illegal animal parts, whilst field biologists use it to identify organisms. In all cases the technique is largely the same. A sequence of DNA is extracted from an organism or sample of interest and then compared against a DNA bank.<br /><br />In the case of the Collateral Hominid Project, the team will largely focus on hair samples – the most commonly presented physical evidence to back up claims of sightings.<br /><br />“Up until the last couple of years, you needed quite a lot of biological material … and often the results were inconclusive,” said Sykes. “Now, all we need is a small amount of hair.”<br /><br />Hair is useful because the keratin – a kind of biological plastic that encases the hair shaft - protects the DNA that it contains from the contamination and degradation that can affect DNA from other parts of the body, such as teeth and bone. Once they have extracted a sample, the will compare it to the billions of sequences published online, such as at Genbank (managed by the National Institutes of Health in the US). If the sequence is different to those known from existing species it may be a new species. The more DNA that is used, the more reliable the comparison.<br /><br />‘Hidden from view’<br /><br />But even if the team find a sequence of DNA that has no match in the world’s databases it does not automatically mean that the creature is a mythical beast, says Albert Zink, an anthropologist at the European Academy of Bolzano in Italy who questions the validity of the whole enterprise. “It could be a sample of an extinct animal that has nothing to do with the Yeti myth,” he explains.<br /><br />Sykes admits that might be the case but he is unconcerned. Although the search for Yeti DNA grabbed the headlines, it is part of a bigger project charting the relationship between our own species and others. It could even help identify new species of hominid - a general term archaeologists and paleontologists use for humans and our ancestors. The team want to use the samples to narrow down their search for unknown species – alive or dead, mythical or not. If the DNA tests find something of interest, the thinking goes, the team can began to look for other clues – potentially in the area where the sample was found. Cryptids became involved because, along with unstudied primate species and subspecies of bears, some people believe the legends could describe distant relations.<br /><br />"Theories as to what Yetis are... range from surviving collateral hominid species, such as Homo neanderthalensis or Homo floresiensis, to large primates like Gigantopithecus, which were widely thought to be extinct,” says Sykes.<br /><br />These theories were given a boost in 2004 when scientists published details of skeletal remains of a species of human (Homo floresiensis) from the Indonesian island of Flores, in the journal Nature. The adult species, previously unknown to science, was just 1m (3ft) tall and was likely a descendent of Homo Erectus, which arrived on the island 900,000 years ago. As far as scientists can tell, the “hobbit”, as it was nicknamed, survived for thousands of years unnoticed by modern humans and was still alive as recently as 12,000 years.<br /><br />Finds like this make it more likely that accounts of mythical, human-like creatures could be founded on grains of truth, some say. For example, the Indonesian cryptid Orang Pendek (“short person”) is often described in Indonesian folklore as a small, hairy, manlike creature not dissimilar to Homo floresiensis.<br /><br />As Henry Gee, an editor at the respected Nature Journal, wrote in 2004 following the discovery: “In the light of the Flores skeleton, a recent initiative to scour central Sumatra for 'Orang Pendek' can be viewed in a more serious light.<br /><br />He also argued that new species of mammal – including oxen - are still occasionally discovered by scientists. “If animals as large as oxen can remain hidden into an era when we would expect that scientists had rustled every tree and bush in search of new forms of life, there is no reason why the same should not apply to new species of large primate, including members of the human family,” he wrote.<br /><br />Gee has since stepped away from the debate, but it’s a theory that others buy into. “Given how people are encroaching on wilderness areas, it seems increasingly unlikely that large mammals, and especially human-like species, remain undocumented,” says Dr Murray Cox from the Institute of Molecular BioSciences, Massey University in New Zealand. “However, some parts of the world, including the Himalayas and the arctic forests of North America, still show very limited impact by humans. So perhaps the possibility of new mammal species there cannot be completely discounted.”<br /><br />‘Proper science’<br /><br />But, others are less forgiving. According to Prof. Darren Curnoe of the School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of New South Wales in Australia, the chances of finding a completely new species of hominid are remote. He is also critical of the project efforts, especially linking it to the possibility of finding a Yeti.<br /><br />“There are far better ways to spend scarce funding for science than chasing mythological creatures and more than enough real and mind-boggling mysteries in nature to keep many generations of scientists busy,” he says.<br /><br />Sykes has heard that kind of criticism ever since the project started. Although he admits that the project is speculative and unlikely to find a new species of hominid, he argues the search is still valid.<br /><br />“Science does not accept or reject hypotheses but evaluates them on the basis of evidence,” he says. “This is why I am confident that examining the evidence of alleged Yetis does not fall outside the realm of proper scientific enquiry.”<br /><br />And, of course, the project has captured the public’s imagination in a way that much of science does not. Put simply, the idea of a Yeti – or some other undocumented mythical beast from folklore – remains a seductive idea for humans. It taps into our desire to explore and understand the world around us, and to believe there are still things left to be discovered. It is part of the reason there was recently a team of 38 people tramping into the remote mountains of the Shennongjia nature reserve in Hubei, China, in search of the yeren. And part of the reason that countless teams over the last 100 years have probed forests, mountains, jungles and islands from the Himalayas to Borneo in search of them.<br /><br />But the fate of these kind of expeditions – and the entire field of cryptozoology - could soon be decided by Sykes and his team. If the Oxford Lausanne project finds something interesting, it opens up the possibility of further attention from mainstream science. But another possibility is that the team races through all of the samples in the museum and proves that all of them come from species already known to science. Certainly history suggests this outcome is likely.<br /><br />For example a “Yeti finger” that lay in the Royal College of Surgeons museum in London since the 1950s was tested in 2011, revealing that the remains were in fact human. Whilst in 2008, tests on hairs collected in India that were also said to have come for a showed they came from a species of Himalayan goat. Countless other examples have met with similar results.<br /><br />If that is the case, the current saviour of cryptozoology could become its own worst enemy. And then, Sartori says, it will be time for believers to put up or shut up.<br /><br />“We are challenging the people who claim to have seen the Yeti or the Orang Pendek to show us real evidence, or otherwise hold your peace,” he says.</span></blockquote>

Well, we’ve got a brand spanking new one for you today, one that’s especially strange… because it’s so clear.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">This image, snapped by an as of yet unnamed game trapper from Alberta, certainly appears to be a rather good snap of what looks like some kind of big primate lounging around in the forest; a far cry from the usual “blobquatch” images of blurry brown specs viewed through leaves and digital zoom. The photo is so striking, in fact, that one could easily wonder if it wasn’t actually an image of a gorilla snapped in a preserve somewhere. The woman who uploaded the photo to Facebook a few hours ago, Penny, swears that isn’t the case.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">“I know this person. They are a dogsledder and would in no way be the type to try to fool around with fake pictures. They actually think it’s a bear and cub but for some reason they only have one photo. Strange.”</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">So, what do you think? Is this one of the cleanest shots of a Sasquatch since the Patterson-Gimlin film, or is it just another case of mistaken identity or intentional hoax? We’re working on snagging some of the original photos and will bring you an update when more information comes in.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin: 5px 5px 10px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #f4cccc;">These third graders learned about Bigfoot, and then decided to make a movie about the creatures.</span></div>

<div style="margin: 5px 5px 10px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #f4cccc;">A group of third-graders at Perkett Elementary have spent the school year in pursuit of the truth about a mythical beast: Bigfoot.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 5px 5px 10px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #f4cccc;">It all started last fall when students Jacob Theis, Gavin Argent, Calvin Baker, Brooklyn Benno and Ana Morelli read some books about the legend of the yeti. The kids, who meet once a week with gifted and talented program teacher Sally Jenkins, decided to delve further into the legends around the world surrounding the creature.</span></div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="margin: 5px 5px 10px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #f4cccc;">They learned that most of the supposed sightings of the large, hairy bipedal humanoid have been in the Pacific Northwest, and also learned that there are different names for the ape-like creature, including "yeti." Jenkins used their interest to teach the students about the importance of critical thinking, of reliable sources, and not to believe everything they read in books or newspapers or on the Internet.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin: 5px 5px 10px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #f4cccc;">Eventually the children decided to make their own movie about the Bigfoot myth. Brooklyn explained that she wrote a script about a news crew herself and Ana who investigate a report of a Bigfoot sighting by two men, played by Gavin and Jacob.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin: 5px 5px 10px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #f4cccc;">"We all liked it, but we needed to change some stuff," said Brooklyn, who explained that the script required some revision and spelling corrections before it was ready.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin: 5px 5px 10px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #f4cccc;">The students paid careful attention to the material they used in their movie. Brooklyn said it was important to them to use only real facts so that people can believe what they say.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin: 5px 5px 10px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #f4cccc;">Next came the costumes.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin: 5px 5px 10px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #f4cccc;">"My mom made the costumes," said Gavin. "She went to Jo-Ann Fabrics and got some hairy fabric and she sewed it together and then it was the Bigfoot." They enlisted the help of a teacher to make an authentic looking Bigfoot footprint outside.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin: 5px 5px 10px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #f4cccc;">Jenkins said the kids filmed the movie on the side of the school where there are some trees to make it look like a wooded area. They uploaded the movie to a private link at Youtube, where it can be seen by their parents and relatives. They even had a chance to talk via Skype with a real television producer who gave them tips on making their video even better.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin: 5px 5px 10px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #f4cccc;">Their work on the video met language arts standards. They learned a bit about the scientific method as well as critical thinking skills.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin: 5px 5px 10px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #f4cccc;">After a year of research, the kids have decided the stories about Bigfoot are probably more fiction than fact.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin: 5px 5px 10px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #f4cccc;">"I don't think that there is a Bigfoot," said Brooklyn.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin: 5px 5px 10px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #f4cccc;">After all, if there really was a Bigfoot, scientists should have found some trace of the creature by now with all the advanced technology that exists, said Calvin. On the other hand, Jenkins said the kids also have learned that scientists are always discovering new things. It could be they just haven't found Bigfoot yet.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin: 5px 5px 10px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #f4cccc;">Jenkins said the children have also worked on other projects this year, including the beginnings of algebra, but the Bigfoot video was their big project.</span></div>
