Bigfoot? I will not argue with anyone. I will just put you on ignore.

Northwest Pennsylvania

Q: How do we know it's a saquatch and not a bear?

A: The distinction between ape anatomy and bear anatomy is most visible in image 2. The figure has its face pressed against the ground to smell some aromatic deer attractant mix (which the Jacobs brothers said they sprinkled at that spot in order to get a centered photo of a deer). Aside from the obvious limb ratio issue, when a "bear" bends down to sniff the ground, it shoud look more or less like large dog sniffing the ground. If you have a large dog then you'll know intuitively that a dog does not get in this position to sniff the ground, or even to press its ear against the ground. Neither does a bear, no matter how mangey it is. Apes, however, do get in this exact posture to smell the ground.

Various newspapers reported that the creature is a "mangey bear". This assertion originated from the spokesperson for the Pennsylvania Game Commission. See the article debunking the Penn. Game Commission

Bear or Bigfoot? I will not argue with anyone. I will just put you on ignore.

Are they right about the measurements?

The length of the limbs and shape of the torso excludes a bear, other than that I have no idea what it might be.

I do not think it excludes a bear.

It could be a black bear with mange and other problems.

Pics are unclear and angles mess with it too.

Could someone post a picture of a big foot for me to compare this with?

Mangy bear with arched back and outstretched limb pawing at the ground.

Did you catch this part?

Several people who have spent a great deal of time with both primates and bears (mainly zoo veterinarians) have consistentaly told us right off the bat, that it "looks much more like a primate than a bear."

I agree with you Varsatile. I also think bear but of course cannot be certain since the pictures are at bad angles. It reminds me of the human face on mars picture. Looks like a human face from one angle and nothing like anything from another.

Plus the timer on the photos is 30 minutes apart. I am sure they are bears in the first picture so I am not sure that another species is going to go in there when the bears are around and one of them is a mother with cubs. Clearly the mother would be more aware than the camera.

From what I read this is a salt lick. I am not sure a primate or big foot would use a salt lick? I have no idea though.
