This is the bottom line for me. Last figure I read, scientists discover something like 15,000+ new species every year. We have discovered and cataloged something like 1 and a half million species. Best estimates are there are over 8 million species on earth in total, but obviously that figure is just an extrapolation so it could be drastically higher or lower, depending on a million other factors. Point being................to say with absolute certainty that somewhere in those 7 million undiscovered species there isn't ONE SINGLE species of primate that could loosely deserve the nickname of "bigfoot", is insane to me. Statistically speaking it's really just a matter of time. And when it happens, it's not going to be explosively revealed by viral shaky cell phone footage of James Bobo Fey getting raped by sasquatch for some beef jerky links. It's gonna be on page 47 of National Geographic and everyone will move on.
