Hiding in Plain Sight

How in the world can a huge hairy 8 foot tall bipedal primate able to stay hidden from us?

That my friends is a million dollar question.  You would think that these primates would have been officially discovered hundreds of years ago.  I know that they exist because of my investigations.  I have first hand knowledge of them.  I have seen, smelled and heard them.  My investigations have lead me to several conclusions about why they are so elusive.  I feel that they have evolved to stay hidden and it is in their DNA.  How can that be possible?  As any species evolves there are certain characteristics, instincts and physical factors that develop to help them survive.  This bipedal primate evolved through the years to stay hidden from humans.  They are very good at it but they are not quite a 100% hidden from our society.  The Native American stories and visual sightings give us glimpses of this elusive primate.

• 8 feet tall and black.  An average person such as myself would think the size and color would be a hindrance to them.  That is not the case.  Black becomes a shadow in the forest.  The size makes the shadow become part of the rock, tree or environment very easily.
• Big flat footed feet with a mid tarsal break.  This adaptation is ingenious.  This foot is able to move around in the uneven and brush-filled forest with ease.  I feel that this type of foot is harder to track because of these characteristics.  Not impossible but harder.
• Eyes that glow or shine.  To some this seems far fetched but this adaptation is real.  I have seen it many times.  This helps to navigate the forest in the dark.
• Zapping or sizzling that is electrical and/or infra-sound based.  My opinion is that it is both.  Since I have been sizzled before my impression that it is electrical based but also felt it was also infra-sound based.  This is a practical defensive mechanism for our forest friends to use from a distance but not pleasant for the recipient.
• Sounds and smells detected by people that compels them to leave without ever seeing anything.  Now that is a great defensive mechanism to deploy without confrontation.  Smart. 
• Geography of the environment that they live in.  That alone is a big factor on why they are so elusive.  If you have been exploring where I have then you would understand.  There is a reason why there are reports of lost/missing people in our forests.  Also the sheer size of the forest makes it easy for them to hide.  Needle in a haystack is a good description of investigating Sasquatch.
• Their intelligence is the number one reason why they have been so successful in hiding from us.  They are primates.  They can think things through.  They can process ideas.  They can problem solve.  Just these characteristics alone would make it hard to find them.  So when you are setting up a trail cam they are more than likely watching and why bother?  They will avoid or trigger it without being seen.  They are human smart.    

Even now if you want to go see mountain gorillas more than likely you will be unsuccessful.  If you hire a knowledgeable guide then you have a 25% chance to see one.  Snow leopards are even harder to find.  It took several National Geographic professional wildlife photographers 2 years to film 20 minutes of a snow leopard.

Our media is very misleading about our wildlife.  Just by watching the shows on T.V, it gives you the impression of ease.  Most of those shots took months and sometimes years to be able to produce enough footage for the show.  The reality is that our wildlife is hard to document in the wild.  It is hard work for a little bit of result.

Now you factor that into the equation along with Sasquatch's characteristics and adaptations then it does make sense on why they are so good at eluding us.  The most important reason on why they are able to hide from us is because of us.  We won't use our intelligence to problem solve this primate.  We can put a man on the moon but we cannot figure out a bipedal primate living in our forest.  This is because we refuse to recognize another human smart being that is as intelligent as us and won't factor this into the equation.  This is not a wolf, bear or other mammal that we are familiar with.  We need to look at commonalities and logistics that are reported about this species and then try something new.  WE NEED TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX.

Are you smarter than an average Sasquatch?  Probably not.
