How Many Bigfoot are out There?

Fascinating question, actually, and one that many researchers and scientists have been pondering ever since it became widely known that these creatures exist in our back yards.

First of all, sasquatch creatures have been sighted in every one of the United States, cept for Hawaii. While Hawaii reportedly has one or three strange cryptids, none of them are believed to be 8ft manlike hairy beasts. So we can ignore Hawaii in this matter.

Biologists and animal experts differ in their opinions on this subject. Some proclaim that if there was enough bigfoot creatures out there to be assured of a healthy breeding population, there would need to be somewhere between 100,000, and 250,000 individuals in the USA. They say that anything less would result in inbreeding, and that would result in a variety of deformities and diseases that would decimate the population into extinction. An interesting side note to consider is that it is VERY common for witnesses to comment that the squatch they saw had an odd, almost down syndrome kinda look in the face. Who knows whether their species actually has a lot of down syndrome cases, or simply that they look like that in some family groups. On the other side of the coin, if there were 100,000 or 250,000 of these things out there, police would be literally swamped by bigfoot sighting calls. Therefore, I tend to side with those who feel that the actual population is likely much less than 100,000, but enough to avoid species ending inbreeding.

Taking into consideration that the vast majority of sasquatch creatures probably reside far away from Human settlements and travel avenues, my opinion is that there is most likely somewhere around 8,000 to 10,000 of them living in the USA at any given time.

Where I get my numbers, is based upon the way there seem to be pockets of them scattered around every state. Some states are wetter than others, and tend to have better quality forested areas and landscape with plenty of food sources, so it would be pointless to try and estimate that there are x number of creatures in each state. Some are loaded with them, while others are more hit and miss and less apt to be able to sustain a large population. Plus, it is believed that each family group tends to move around their home range throughout the seasons, so it would be risky to proclaim this place definitely has no bigfoot, or that place always has bigfoot.

Having a population of around 10,000 would enable them to be stealthy, and rarely spotted, but individuals could easily travel for a few days and cross paths with another family group to facilitate mating up procedures, then migrate back to their usual home range.

That is my opinion on this subject.
