New Species and a New Skeleton
People, we live in Bigfoot/Sasquatch country, Oregon! I know you know that, but I would like to hear more from you, the readers of this column. I will not use your name on reports if that is what you wish. Often families that have lived long periods in an area have stories that circulate within that family, even circulate within their community. I would like to know those stories, hear about those sightings. You may email me at lindap.douglasco.net.
New species have been discovered, 850 of them, in subterranean water in Australia. These were unknown species, mostly blind and made up of insects, crustaceans, spiders, worms, eels and fish. The following is quoted from Yahoo News, by Charles Q. Choi, LiveScience.com: ‘ “What we’ve found is that you don’t have to go searching in the depths of the ocean to discover new species of invertebrate animals-you just have to look in your own backyard,” said researcher Andy Austin, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Adelaide in Australia. [Scientists say only a fraction of the species of plants and animals on the planet have been discovered.]’
Two points I’d like to make: Bigfoot/Sasquatch is in our backyard, and with only a fraction of the earth’s species still undiscovered, it is possible that in our Backyard there lives an undiscovered species, and that would be Bigfoot/Sasquatch.
A new hominid skeleton named Ardi has made the news this last week. Found in Ethiopia, the first bones in 1994, scientists reason the creature lived in the “woodlands and could climb on all fours along tree branches, but the development of their arms and legs indicates they didn’t spend much time in the trees. And they could walk upright, on two legs, when on the ground.” The article from Yahoo News, “Before Lucy Came Ardi, New Earliest Hominid Found,” stated that this creature is not the missing link but the earliest bones man has of a hominid (walks on two legs).
The story made TV news and showed us a drawing of what the animal was thought to look like. It looked like a Bigfoot/Sasquatch. It was shorter than most Bigfoot/Sasquatch. However, around the world are known sightings of shorter Bigfoot-type animals. The book, Abominable Snowmen by Ivan T. Sanderson tells of several shorter animal sightings around the world.
