The name Patagonia comes from the word patagón[2] used by Magellan in 1520 to describe the native people that his expedition thought to be giants. It is now believed the Patagons were actually Tehuelches with an average height of 180 cm (~5′11″) compared to the 155 cm (~5′1″) average for Spaniards of the time.[3] Yeah, there were some "big foot" indians.

Are these the same scientists that swear man made global warming is killing polar bears?

Why aren’t they 94% or 96% sure?

Yes, of course...and their explanation for never EVER finding a carcass of one of these things or a hunter ever shooting one? Well, actually, we don't find carcasses of just about any animals in the wild very often. I'm not saying I believe there's such a creature out there, but apart from most of the odd crypto-zoology myths, the bigfoot is one that isn't all that unbelievable. I wouldn't say it's probable, but it is certainly possible that there are creatures in our wild lands that have gone mostly unseen. I say "mostly" because there ~are~ reports of people claiming to see one. Only a little less frequently than people claim to see cougars or bobcats.

Wouldn't a person have to be awfully convinced of the existence of Bigfoot already to travel to the middle of Siberia to attend a Bigfoot conference? I'm guessing that not a lot of skeptics who ask the hard questions made the trek.
I actually have a plaster cast of what is reported to be a Sasquatch footprint on my office wall. It was a gift from the late Grover Krantz, Sasquatch researcher and fellow Irish Wolfhound enthusiast. He knew that I was a skeptic about Sasquatch and will only be convinced by DNA evidence but I was polite in my disagreement, so we got along well.

"..a dozen-plus experts.."I'm sure this qualifies as a "consensus" among Yeti scientists.

I’m convinced. I mean, if a conference of yeti enthusiasts puts a 95 percent figure on it, what more does one need?

The Kemerovo government announced on Oct. 10 that a two-day expedition the previous weekend to the region’s Azassky cave and Karatag peak “collected irrefutable evidence” of yetis’ existence on the wintry plateau.
Also announced was the opening of the “Bigfoot Inn”. Guest will enjoy discounts on Yheti expeditions, both 5 and 10 day tours.
