With the fresh resurrection of this blog, we at the Olympic Project would like to ring in the New Year with some something very old, but very important: a series of essays reiterating the fundamental building blocks of biology, zoology, and the scientific and academic process in general, all reduced…
Please see the below message from Legend Meets Science and MonsterQuest producer Doug Hajicek. There have been many suspected cases of Sasquatch fingerprints left behind on glass and other surfaces. Our own Shelly Covington-Montana will be recording an interview detailing how to collect samples of such residue for potential DNA…
Dr. Jeff Meldrum compares bear tracks and photos and how they contribute to many Sasquatch misidentification....but not ALL.
