Cryptozoology, Ghosts, Aliens and other mysteries

[smedz]

Ah cryptozoology, don't get me wrong, it's an interesting topic, but it can be a bit unrealistic. With Bigfoot, from the way they describe the feeding habits, ecology, etc, that animal sounds to have the EXACT same role in the ecosystem as a black bear. There is what is called the competitive exclusion principle, which states that no 2 species can share the exact same niche in the exact same place at the exact same time. So to me, the existence of Bigfoot is very unlikely. 

As for the Gigantopithecus theory, that makes no sense for 2 reasons. 

1. That animal was a warm weather primate, not built for the cold and beringia was a freezing cold place.

2. The Bering land bridge was open Steppe, and the kind of food these apes ate wasn't even available there in the first place. So they'd be starving to death. Reply
