IT’S definitely big. It’s certainly hairy. Could this mysterious beast be the elusive Bigfoot?
Shot in snowy woods in the US state of Maine this video shows a creepy creature lurking in the treetops — and the footage has taken the internet by storm.
Speculation is rife about the identity of the fearsome animal.

Monkey-like creature mystifies MaineIs this Bigfoot?
It has been likened to a monkey and even a bear. But many of the 50,000 people who have already watched the clip are convinced it could be the legendary sasquatch.
The video was posted on YouTube by American user webtech88 five days ago. mpu
A woman can be heard telling a child to look at “the bear” in the branches.
But the terrified kid tearfully replies: “I don't like bears.”
Although the cameraman can be heard whistling to attract the animal, it sits silently in the tree.
It is only when they see the front of the animal the group realise is might not be a bear.
The confused woman says: “I see an ape.” While the cameraman agrees: “It does look like a monkey.”
Maine, in the north east of the country, has had a number of Bigfoot sightings over the years

[The alternate explanation was given that this could be a large raccoon rather than a bear or an ape: It still looks like a chimpanzee to me, and bigger than a porcupine. However a porcupine is much more likely in this environment.-DD]
i think its a porky with young clinging to its back.
ReplyDeleteYou may very well be right. I can't say for certain visually, but there are one or two things about the creature as shown which do suggest a porcupine to me.

This was debunked two years ago. It is indeed a porcupine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMayRG273xY&feature=related
ReplyDeleteI think we were independantly reaching a consensus about that since it was posted here. it is hard to tell at first, but eventually the head end of it looked like a porcupine to me, too.
ReplyDeletePorkey pine????
ReplyDeleteYes it is a porcupine
ReplyDeleteRobert Kline (arkline) has posted the following opinion on the Global Warming and Terraforming Terra Blog:
ReplyDeleteWhat is unusual here is that the witnesses were able to rule out a bear. Otherwise we would all have reasonably assumed a young bear running for cover. They do this. It is also way too large for either a porcupine or a raccoon unless we happen to be looking at a giant version which is possible but quite unlikely as neither giant species appears to otherwise have made it out of the Pleistocene. Beside, these are not so clever that human encounters could have been avoided.
I do have an alternative and that is a young giant sloth. Again the creature has gone to the trees upon been disturbed but has no good apparent escape route here.
I do not know what more by the witnesses was done and this is all we have, unfortunately.
It certainly is not a Sasquatch and it is noteworthy that the Sasquatch does not use trees.
