Guy in a suit. Look at the way this clumsy creature walks. Not a very good hoax, I must say.

Just saw the second video of this at youtube.com/watch?v=sOFsL2BxCJIIf I had any doubts this is a guy in a suit, they are nowcompletely gone. This is a dreadful piece of footage.

You have got to be kidding me right? Please please tell me no one actually would seriously consider this anything but a complete waste of time! I just looked at the new stuff....nice little hitch jump there fella....It is a person in a suit. The cadence and body mechanics suggest a person 200 lbs to 250 lbs, no more. The feet don't impact enough to indicate a greater weight. The arms are use to balance in the walk and the "dude" is looking at his feet as he does that little jump. All reports of the kinetics of a giant primate gait are not present (as per Krantz and Meldrum). Sasquatch does not prance like in the video. Giant Ewok suit? Chewbacca wannabe? Either is more plausible than a sasquatch.

I wholeheartedly agree with boomer316 and westerncanadian. I have successfully hunted most big-game animals throughout much of British Columbia over the last 45 or so years. During those years in the field I would guess I have been lucky enough to see perhaps 50 or 60 black and grizzly bears combined total. Out of those bears I have only witnessed three or four that stood up on their hind feet to have a better look at me or to get a whiff of my scent. One black bear I saw took a couple of clumsy steps while up on its hind feet but it soon dropped down on all fours and hightailed it out of the country. Although it is simply my opinion, I still say the suit the person in video is wearing looks awful baggy. ;D Source: www.sharpphoto.com/kb101.htmlAn excellent 1-1/2 minute movie on Bear Awareness in a camping situation: www.fs.fed.us/outdoors/naturewatch/media/BE-BEAR-AWARE.mpgA great read: safety.eas.ualberta.ca/field/bearsafety.cfmTrue or false? A bear that stands on its hind legs is preparing to charge. FALSE. A bear that is standing on its hind legs is usually trying to identify you by scent or sight. Bushman

Thanks for replying to my bear questions, Bushman. I have successfully hunted most big-game animals throughout much of British Columbia over the last 45 or so years.
