![]() Just by looking exclusively at 65-million-year-old fossil mammals remains, would it truly be possible to predict the existence 65 million years later of mammals as diverse as bats, whales, lions, antelopes, rats, kangaroos, platypuses, monkeys, and armadillos, for instance? Reply Delete The best example of this is to look at the limited diversity of mammals 65 million years ago, and then compare that with the huge diversity of mammals alive today. Consequently, they may well be very different morphologically and physiologically from their palaeontological predecessors, which in turn means that direct comparisons between modern sightings and fossil evidence has only limited value. from the age when the most recent known fossils were produced to right up to the present day. Obviously, it will not merely update the cryptozoological content but also the palaeontological content, and will emphasise the often overlooked but crucial point that if any of the cryptids in the book are truly prehistoric survivors, they will be the product of many millions of years of continuing evolution, i.e. He is the author of such seminal works as Mystery Cats of the World (1989), The Lost Ark: New and Rediscovered Animals of the 20th Century (1993 greatly expanded in 2012 as The Encyclopaedia of New and Rediscovered Animals), Dragons: A Natural History (1995), In Search of Prehistoric Survivors (1995), The Unexplained (1996), From Flying Toads To Snakes With Wings (1997), Mysteries of Planet Earth (1999), The Hidden Powers of Animals (2001), The Beasts That Hide From Man (2003), Extraordinary Animals Revisited (2007), Dr Shuker's Casebook (2008), Karl Shuker's Alien Zoo: From the Pages of Fortean Times (2010), Cats of Magic, Mythology, and Mystery (2012), Mirabilis: A Carnival of Cryptozoology and Unnatural History (2013), Dragons in Zoology, Cryptozoology, and Culture (2013), The Menagerie of Marvels (2014), A Manif estation of Monsters (2015), Here's Nessie! (2016), and what is widely considered to be his cryptozoological magnum opus, Still In Search Of Prehistoric Survivors (2016) - plus, very excitingly, his first two long-awaited, much-requested ShukerNature blog books (2019, 2020). The more people are made aware of just how large the “Bigfoot Believer Community” is, the sooner the scientific community and government agencies will start to take a more serious look into the reality of Bigfoot.Zoologist, media consultant, and science writer, Dr Karl Shuker is also one of the best known cryptozoologists in the world. There are thousands upon thousands of people out there who have had experiences just like you. They share stories of sightings, sounds, glimpses, smells, massive boulders thrown at cabins etc.ĭespite their remarkable and convincing encounter, they’re so afraid of the ridicule, that they often won’t even tell their friends and family. People constantly share their belief to us, and consistently do so with details that align with our own research findings. To you we say, “You are not alone!” You would be shocked by the large numbers of people who reach out to us privately or walk up and whisper quietly, things like, “I’ve never told this to anyone but years ago I saw a Bigfoot”. We know it’s not easy to tell the world, “I believe in Bigfoot!”. And more people coming forward as believers. Research teams like Destination Sasquatch need more support to continue and improve our research. The scientific community is slowly waking to the possibility of a giant ape-like creature living in our woods. One way to accomplish this goal is to let the world know how many believers there really are. The doubters however will still need more convincing. Sasquatch too builds nests to sleep on the forest floor.įor those who believe, the comparisons between the history of the Bili Ape and Sasquatch couldn’t be more apparent. Bili Apes build nests on the ground, which is in contrast to their much smaller relatives, the Bonobo Chimpanzee, as well as most other great apes which typically sleep off the ground in trees. If it took the scientific community over 100 years to accept the existence of the Bondo Mystery Ape as reality, and there are approximately 10,000 giant Bili Apes why is it hard to believe the possibility that Sasquatch would be even harder to prove? Yes, Sasquatch is larger than the Bili Ape, but Sasquatch has a much smaller population and it’s spread amongst a much larger geographical area.īili Apes and Sasquatch even share behavioral traits. Why is this significant to this discussion? One of the more frequent arguments we hear is, “If Bigfoot is so big, why don’t we see it more often?” Bondo Mystery Ape and Sasquatch The population of Bili Apes is estimated to be near 10,000. Sound familiar? Here are some other interesting comparisons.
