Understanding Sasquatch.


I have had more Sasquatch reports filtering in from the Strathcona park area,these reports have been coming in to me second hand.
I am trying to follow up with the eye witnesses and will post the reports as the eye witnesses come to me.
The year and time I have been hearing is the same as the other reports in this area,between may-sept/2006.
I have been doing very little field research as I am waiting for the weather to improve some.
One thing I have been researching lately is wild animal behavior and there interactions with humans.
The animal I have been looking at lately is the cougar because it is rarely seen by humans.
Some common and interesting facts about the cougar are its hunting ground is generally the same through out its life and can range from 100 square miles to 200 square miles, its average life span in the wild is aprox 12-years.
It preys on a variety of animals like the deer,elk,rabbit and even small moose.
It is a master of camouflage and will generally attack its prey with 2 or 3 big leaps hitting the prey with a full impact bearing the prey to the ground where it will suffocate it with a prolonged bite across the throat.
Many avid outdoors men who have spent many years in the wild have never even seen a cougar in the wild due to the cougar not wanting a human encounter.
Most reported cougar sightings come from people who have seen them crossing the road well driving well most attacks are because the cougar is starving.
Some experts in the cougar field say you are more likely to be killed by your neighbors dog or a black widow bite then a cougar .

In closing I would like to say that in the beginning of my search for the Sasquatch I thought it would be as easy as getting a camera,plaster and some reports lol.
What I have found out is the deeper I get into this search the more complex it really is.
There is so much to do and learn,from animal tracking,understanding animal behavior,skat examinations,hair sampling,filing reports and thats just the tip of iceberg.
It is my belief in order to understand the Sasquatch you must first understand its habitat and everything in it.
