It’s no secret that I’m a believer in the Bigfoot (or Yeti or whatever you want to call it), so I always look forward to another episode on this elusive creature. Despite my interest, I’m often disappointed in the show’s lack of new evidence. The Canadian episode about Bigfoot remains the best Bigfoot episode in the series by far, but I’m interested in stories from other nations.
China has a long history of being inhabited by people. We know that the Gigantopithecus, an extinct genus of apes, used to live in China and was the focus of a History Channel documentary called “Giganto: The Real King Kong.” But does a newer, smaller genus resembling Bigfoot exist now?
It’s a great question and one of the problems with identifying the creature is that is can easily be misidentified. This is especially true with footprints. Bears are often the source of a lot of prints, but there are still a lot of footprints which seem to fit what we would identify as Bigfoot prints. This is true with some of the prints in this China episode.
Although it was a little disappointing to see that the Chinese government put a limit to the amount of time the investigative team had in the park, I don’t think the team would have spent much time there anyway. I’ve never gotten the impression that the team in any episode of MonsterQuest, is ever investigating a location or animal for more than a day or two. They always seem to be in and out, lickety-split.
Despite some intriguing prints, the fake hair was a little disappointing. It’s sad to think that people would take evidence like that, but we all know it’s done. There are a lot of people who purposely plant fake Bigfoot prints in the U.S. So it’s not surprising some would take hair like that.
I like that the series is going to foreign countries, but I’d like to see Bigfoot searches in other countries. Surely there must be sightings in somewhere more remote, less commonly thought of as being the home of Bigfoot (or other creatures).
