sasquatch tracks

[Deleted]

here is a link to some pics of alleged sasquatch tracks .
i am not an expert at all but i do not think that the stride length is long enough to be even plausible .

i don't know , maybe some of you could tell better .

I think it is a bear. The tracks are too close together, and the distance between the front and back print varies although they are falling in the normal pattern. Can't see any claw marks because of the gravel type. Not sassy this time.

Maybe close, but not that close. Wish the photos were of better qual. Certainly looks like bipedal humanlike footprints. If I saw this track I would be somewhat excited.

I am of the camp that thinks BF walk/gait or stride is significantly different than human gait and stride.

Normal/comfortable human stride is quite short. Shorter than many might expect. Even for taller individuals. I am 6'4" and find my normal walking stride a little closer than what these pictures may depict. Unless I was trying to get accross painful gravel on my bare feet. But these tracks show a comfortable deliberate stride.

I admit trying to immitate BF tracks and it become clear that even stretching a stride a little bit consumes far more energy than a normal stride. People rarely choose an elongated stride as a beneficial alternative. Many reasons including a much more heavy use of lower back.

More researchers are contemplating that BF stride to be fundamentally different than Human. Long stride is possibly a normal comfortable mode of walking for BF much unlike human gait. Humans are thought to have a better long distance stride than BF. BF stride would be most beneficial in difficult terrian. And BF's stride may not allow an efficient running gait. Thus they are seen entirely in a walking fashion or gait. Mostly a way a person might perceive walking. But to a BF is it's form of running.

I digress but I do find this aspect of BF very interesting and compelling.

I do notice a lack of straight line gait in these photos. Human in the side to side from each print. I also don't see foot drag (disturbed area just before heel impact with ground) which occurs with human tracks but not seen in BF tracks.

If a human left these tracks they were putting work into making unnatural human tracks. Even though the prints are close I don't believe they don't exhibit a long stride.

I, too am fascinated by Patty and her walk. I have noticed that some people think of Patty as representitive of the Sas population, and she is,but I think she might represent the little-old-lady-with-a-bad-back segment. I wonder if she is a good candidate for study.If there were an abundance of material I think Patty would not be held to be average.

I don't know...looks like that Squatch had literally two right feet!!

What about the inline print senerio? No evidence here.
Questioinable.
