The BFRO are recognizing these prints as authentic bigfoot tracks. Some say they are deer tracks made to look larger from the snow.
Your thoughts?
An intriguing video from Maine shows a trail of sizeable prints found in a snowy forest and some suspect that the peculiar tracks could have been left behind by Bigfoot.

Preservation of the Tasmanian Tiger…”
Consequent upon the information reported in our last Proceedings, another search was made in the wilds of Tasmania for evidence of the existence of this almost extinct Marsupial.
Thanks have been transmitted to the Tasmanian Board for its generosity in allowing M:. M. S. R. Sharland the opportunity of first hand knowledge of the position. Apparently
The expedition was fitted out by the Tasmanian Animals and Birds’ Protection Board, and as a guest, Mr. M S. R. Sharland accompanied it. A full account will be published in the Proceedings, from which it will be seen that new footprints were observed more than once indicating that more than one individual still survives in the locality searched.
Mr. Sharland upheld the traditions of the Society as the Tasmanian Board has renewed its invitation to their next research expedition.
It is a matter of regret that no animals were seen but this is mainly due to the nocturnal habits of the marsupial.”
This Information was printed in the Proceeding of the Royal Zoological Society of New South Wales for the year 1938
The mention of footprints makes me hold out hope…

“In the moonlit woods where shadows play
Roams the Deer Woman, wild and fey
With eyes like embers, dark and deep
She wanders through the forest’s keep
Her form shifts in the twilight’s glow
Half a woman, half a doe
She tempts the heart with graceful ease
A spirit of the ancient trees
Whispered tales of love and fear
Of those who dared to venture near
With every step, her mystique grows
A haunting presence, soft and close
Legends speak of her allure
A warning wrapped in beauty pure
She beckons with a lusty siren’s call
To those who heed, they’ll rise or fall
In her gaze, both life and death
A fleeting touch, a stolen breath
She dances in the moon’s embrace
A mystery, a timeless grace
Beware the Deer Woman’s charm
For in her arms lies both harm and calm
A story woven in the night
A legend in the pale moonlight”
“Of Giant Apes and Snowmen
IN the 1930’s, Ralph von Koenigswald, who discovered the first man-ape jaw in Java and some human remains to be described shortly, combed the Chinese drugstores of several Oriental cities, in search of fossil teeth. For centuries the Chinese have used the bones of fossil animals to cure their ills, in the belief that courage, strength, and virility come from the powdered remains of large, strong, and potent animals. Their cure for toothache is powdered teeth. Out of thousands of teeth, von Koenigswald found, in Hong Kong, six of particular interest.
They are human-like in form, but six times as large, in volume, as those of living men. Between the stubs of the roots, gnawed by cave porcupines, he detected powdered yellow earth, which told him that the teeth had come from caves near the Yangtze gorges.
He called the animal to whom the teeth had belonged Giganto-pithecus, the giant ape. For years some paleontologists believed that Gigantopithecus was an ancestor of man, but in the late 1950’s Chinese scientists found three jaws of this animal, which was an aberrant ape. It lived in the Pleistocene, too late to be our ancestor.
An even more famous and fabulous animal is the Yeti, or Abominable Snowman. His tracks have been found in snow and mud in the Himalayas, and he has been reported as far north as Mongolia. Eyewitnesses have described him as tall, two-legged, tawny-coated, maned, big-muzzled, and big-toothed. Several expeditions to Nepal and Soviet Central Asia have failed to find this elusive animal, whose numerous tracks are so far unique.
Even if it turns out to be a primate it is more likely to be a survival of Gigantopithecus than an Australopithecine.”
From, The Story of Man
Carleton S. Coon, 1962
“Baum, who was in the woods late in the afternoon with his stepfather to build the tree stand for future hunting use, said he immediately knew what he was seeing. Though it was late afternoon, it had been a bright, sunny day, he said.
In other words, the visibility was excellent in the area near Hanley and Woodville Roads, just east of I-71, especially with no leaves on the trees.”

A witness visiting Connecticut from California reported that they heard what could have been Bigfoot, as they said the scream of the creature had ‘quite a bit of power behind it’.

Both deaths appear to be due to “exposure, based on weather conditions and ill-preparedness,” the local sheriff’s office said.

The iconic museum, located alongside Highway 9 in Felton, has embodied Santa Cruz’s quirkiness for twenty years.
As Ruggs retires, the museum will retire alongside him.
“Well, anywhere from 30 to 70 people come in the door and, they’ll check everything out, and, I show them our local sighting map, and, they’re usually amazed to see how many sightings there have been in this area. I was amazed, too, because when I opened it, I didn’t expect that to happen,” Ruggs said.
Ruggs says he first saw Bigfoot when he was a kid.
“I looked upstream, and then when I look back towards the woods. Whoa, here’s this big hairy guy standing there looking at me. And we had eye contact for about the count of three. Then I heard my mother screaming. Mikey, where are you? So I thought, oh, jeez, I better get back,” Ruggs recalled.

A big piece of bigfoot history closing its door here. I wish I had a chance to visit it, it was definitely a bucket list stop for me…
For the second in a series of curious creatures once the cryptids of their time, we talk about the sea lion.
I can imagine a sea lion must have been quite a site if you had no knowledge or experience with one, I’d probably still want to pat one even then. But let’s take a look at one of it’s first sightings in Brazil in the 1500s…
In 1564, when the Portuguese had just arrived here, they found a monster on the beach? That’s right. It was where the city of São Vicente is today, on the coast of São Paulo. The story goes back to Pero de Magalhães Gândavo, one of our first historians. He says that, one night, the Indians pulled out of the sea a creature that measured more than 3 meters in length, full of fins and hair all over its body, “and on its snout it had very large silks like whiskers”. They named it ipupiara, or water demon in ancient Tupi.”
A text from that time tells a tale that goes a little like this;
Explorer Baltasar Ferreira killed this marine monster off the coast of São Vicente (present-day Santos in the state of São Paulo) in 1564. The monster is described as being 15 palms long, covered with hair, and with silky bristles like a mustache on its muzzle.
Today they say they still aren’t sure what the creature really was, but it is thought to be a lost sea lion that swam into their waters. A statue of the creature, which is thought to be what inspired the Creature from the Black Lagoon and The Shape of Water, still stands today…
