A second bigfoot thread?
Not to spoil the surprise, but bigfoot doesn't exist. Neither does Santa Claus.

Damn it LJ, You better not say about the Easter Bunny
Granted that we are talking about the potential of a very large mammal. I think its too tough to say it in fact doesn't exist although we haven't found any solid proof...just don't forget that it wasn't until this last decade that giant squid we're nothing more than a fairy tale too.To date, taxonomists have identified less than two million distinct species, mostly mammals and birds. But it's estimated that the number of undiscovered species—primarily fish, fungi, insects, and microbes—ranges from ten million to more than one hundred million. Even at the low estimate, it's an enormous number.
the woods isn't the oceanLittle bit of difference there...
the woods isn't the oceanNot all undiscovered species live in the ocean. If this announcement was anything other than a mythical ape we wouldn't be calling it a hoax. New species on land are found every year.
With that said I think its a hoax based on the people involved.
Here you go andit was in some wooded mountain areas.
A team of scientists led by Conservation International (CI) found dozens of new species in a survey of New Guinea's Foja Mountains. The December 2005 trip by a team of U.S., Indonesian, and Australian scientists discovered new species of frogs, butterflies, plants, and an orange-faced honeyeater, the first new bird from the island of New Guinea in more than 60 years.
The discoveries were made under CI's Rapid Assessment Program (RAP) which deploys expert scientists to poorly understood regions in order to quickly assess the biological diversity of an area. The conservation organization makes RAP results immediately available to local and international decision makers to help support conservation action and biodiversity protection.

"It's as close to the Garden of Eden as you're going to find on Earth," said Bruce Beehler, vice president of CI's Melanesia Center for Biodiversity Conservation and a co-leader of the expedition. "The first bird we saw at our camp was a new species. Large mammals that have been hunted to near extinction elsewhere were here in abundance. We were able to simply pick up two Long-Beaked Echidnas, a primitive egg-laying mammal that is little known."
The expedition found a new large mammal for Indonesia — the Golden-mantled Tree Kangaroo (Dendrolagus pulcherrimus), formerly known from only a single mountain in neighboring Papua New Guinea. Other discoveries included what may be the largest rhododendron flower on record — almost six inches across — along with more than 20 new frogs and four new butterflies. The new species of honeyeater, the first new bird discovered on the island of New Guinea since 1939, has a bright orange face-patch with a pendant wattle under each eye.
New Guinea's forests are some of the most biodiverse in the world, but they are increasingly under threat from commercial logging. However, the Foja Mountains of western New Guinea are so isolated — in the furthest reaches of the Indonesian province of West Papua - they remain relatively untouched. In other parts of Indonesia poaching is taking a heavy toll on wildlife populations.
Big Foot brings presents?
Is Bigfoot Harry?

will this conference be sponsored by The Weather Channel
Someone is going to have a bigfoot in their mouth today.
It's pathetic how these stupid ass hoaxes are now setting up press conferences. Tired of the same old dance of releasing ty pictures I guess.
Anyone remember the "human clone" presser from a few years ago.
Another picture was released today... this time of the alleged bigfoot still alive in his natural Habitat right before they blew his ass away....
^^^ LOL at Manny's prom pic!
DING!DING!DING!
The two guys who found him are so called "bigfoot hunters" and actually run "bigfoot tours". How lucky for them that they found a bigfoot. I mean this is sure to be a windfall for what was probably a pretty ty business. That's just lucky.
