The recovery of the Passenger Pigeon, Carolina Parakeet, and Ivory Billed Woodpecker would seem harmless and likely beneficial to the environment. Maybe not Sabre-Toothed Tigers — at least not in my neighborhood.
That is a clever explanation that reconciles a lot of puzzling evidence. I like it and will shamelessly borrow it as my own.
Yeah, you’re probably right. Still, it would be an experience.
Nope, but I have to say my guilty pleasure tv show is “Expedition Bigfoot”. It’s way better than the other bigfoot shows. Can’t wait for new season to come out.

I’m a believer!! There’s been several sightings near me. Haven’t seen anything myself but I’m always hopeful!!
Back in the early 90s I had the opportunity to talk with (via phone) Bob Gimlin, the man who was with Roger Patterson when the famous Bigfoot footage was shot near Bluff Creek, California. We talked on two or three occasions, and I did a radio interview with him that aired on Halloween. He claims he believes he saw Bigfoot that day.
As a kid I was always fascinated by Bigfoot, the Loch Ness monster, etc. Now, all these years later, I still have an interest, but it’s waning. In this day and age just about everybody has a camera (phone) on them. There are trail cams everywhere. Yet we still can’t get one decent photo or bit of video? That’s what has always concerned me the most.
Oh, and in case you’re interested, here’s a stabilized version of the famous Patterson/Gimlin film. You decide.

There was one living in the White House from 2009-2017..
Rules.
Best camera phone $$ can by the hundreds of thousands all over the planet and not one good image of a Squatch? (or ET for that matter).
I hunt snipe. They are hard to hit but a very tastey game bird.
They are very prized for eating.
Thanks. I’m aware.
Whenever I end up in the deep woods here (the heart of Bigfoot country), I have mixed feelings about wanting an encounter.
But I also have an open mind tempered with the accounts from the 19th century I read all those decades ago (and more recent ones not poisoned by drama directors/producers who poison such shows).
Nothing Sasquatch-related. I probably should have said unusual rather than strange.
One saw a bison for several minutes in a national forest many, many miles from any free-ranging bison herds (probably a refugee from a domestic herd, although he said no one had reported a missing bison). He also saw two wolverines square off and fight. He also saw a cow elk and a doe deer sniff each others' muzzles, rub against each other, then graze near each other before wandering off in different directions.
The other mentioned in the dim pre-dawn light watching something that he couldn't decide was a deer or an elk. As the light increased, he realized he was looking at one of the handful of woodland caribou that range in southern BC, Eastern Washington, Northern Idaho, and Western Montana.
I’ve got a big bookcase full of Fortean books. But, aside from God getting my attention a few times, I’ve never had anything undeniably paranormal happen to me.
I believe people see all manner of cryptids, but I don’t think any of them are real biological creatures.
This thread should be fun.

Cool. Thank you!
It’s called Fetterman in Pa.
The Patterson/Gimlin film has been exhaustively analyzed, and is pretty convincing to many.
But they were prepared. The one time I saw something very strange, there was a camera a few feet from me, and I didn’t even think of it. When your mind is shocked by something that doesn’t make any sense, taking a picture doesn’t always come to mind in time.
Thank you. I’ve been impressed by that film, especially when more modern processes have been applied to the analysis of it.
(I recently saw a video where it was suggested that ‘Nessie’ may have been a giant eel of some kind...)
And when people think something is ‘extinct, we should remind them of the coelacanth. There could be all kinds of stuff out in the Earth that we don’t know about yet.
I don’t know. Things happen, and then other things happen as a consequence. I think we should just let things be, and when we make a big mistake we should just resolve not to make it again instead of playing around that way. We might make another huge mistake trying to ‘fix’ the past one.
