Analysis of Replures video "Thermal recording of possible Baby bigfoot"

[OldJong]

There must be a natural explanation: A squirrel suffering from gigantism and acromegaly perhaps?...

Thanks Joe, you did a good job with your analysis of my video.

Also of my BFRO 1st thermal video.

Keep up the good work, when I aquire more footage in the field I hope you will give it the same indepth look over.

Thanks again

Your welcome, any time, I want to help researchers all I can.

It's a deer.

this is a bear id say

[dartfish1]

This is a thermal image of a common rabbit. Watch it without thinking about original videographer's claim of estimated size. This is a sitting rabbit facing left, then looks right, then bounds off in a direction away from the tree. It doesn't jump up into the tree. It jumps AWAY from the videographer and the tree blocks us seeing it. The stills from the analysis between 2:54 and 3:18 are of the top of its head, the top of its shoulders, and the top of its rump as it turns to the right.

@dartfish1 if you look at the trees and can actually imagine the forest as a forest and not a bunch of brush and grass..which its not..you can clearly see trees...the tree it ends up behind is BIG...and this rabbit must have been HUGE...it is not a rabbit..it is clearly impossible for it to be a rabbit and a rabbit does not HOP away when in fear..it RUNS..a rabbit would have been outta the picture by not HOPPING...a rabbit runs not like on the cartoons where they hop hop hop...lol.

It's clearly a very rare Forest Rorschach. They travel mostly by night, are extremely elusive, and tend to disguise themselves to look like other animals to avoid predation.

good job Scott, great analysis vid.

Possums. Look at time stamp 2:30 - see the teardrop shaped head, eyes and small ears on one against tree. Time stamp 2:17 through 2:40 you can see multiple ones (one climbing tree and two near center of frame). Step through frames to see movement.

[cityboygonewild22]

what if it is being picked up by the adult. you may not be able to see it because its behind the tree and has more hair and the thermal camera cant pick it up. i dont know just another possibility i guess.

[joebblack1963]

Could be, its definately a mystery

[justagrrlinny]

To me the jumping sequence appeared as follows and this is why I wanted this done....it appears sitting, then it appears to push itself up and through branches with it's arms, then it appears to be standing and looking upwards, then jumps very, very quickly into the tree. What I would like to rule out is a bear first, then what else would have that sized head, then what else could jump like that, possibly from two standing legs. Can we rule these out at all Scott, or no? Thanks for this friend!!

[joebblack1963]

If you will stop/pause starting around the 1:04 mark during the enhanced jump sequence, you will see the leg bent knee up like a high jumper with a plant leg on the limp to leverage, the leg is "grey" but can be seen, if this is a bear, then it jumped while up right. To be honest this is impossible. Also the limp ration on the leg does not match a bear, both legs and front arms. Also there is not "snout" on the face. The face is to "flat".

[justagrrlinny]

I see the knee bend. Thank you for showing me when to look. Glad you sent this to a biologist. I'd like his perspective on the limb ratio as well, and the snout. You know bears better than I do I'm sure. Just glad to have some other opinions on this. I have another one to send you soon if I can remember :) It's been a busy week.

[joebblack1963]

I sent this vid to a biologist on YouTube, lets see what he thinks...

[clydefav]

Another great analysis! Really creepy how it moved so fast, whatever it was. It begs the question though, IF it was a baby BF, where was the adult?

[joebblack1963]

Thanks!

[Malcontent1]

This is very interesting. The way it jumps, just zooms up real quick. And it looks like it does it on two legs! Great job!

[joebblack1963]

Thanks

[DallasHaze]

Bear with Mange?? J/K Nice analysis dude!

Peace!

[joebblack1963]

Scary bear...Thanks

[redeye99999]

Wicked video scott!!

[joebblack1963]

Thanks!

[rjdalchow]

Another nice job, Scott. You're definitely the best one out there doing what you do on YouTube. Keep it up!

[joebblack1963]

Thanks!

[tccarhauler1]

you amaze me scott....great job

[joebblack1963]

Thanks!

[joe2trees]

wow it moved so fast

[joe2trees]

wow it moved so fast. Looked like a large figure to the left of it ??

[joebblack1963]

Have looked to be honest..could be??
