Hype, hoax, or hope?

US hunters claim they have found bigfoot.

Headline pretty much says it all. Except it should say, "US hunters claim they have found sasquatch," as far as I'm concerned.

I've blogged a fair amount about new species, because it shows how much we need to learn about the biology of our planet. For my thoughts on sasquatch, see here.

I suspect this is going to turn out like this previous sighting... That the pictures on on a site called http://www.inquisitr.com/ does not fill me with hope.

The picture itself does not fill me with hope. It looks a little too "carnival sideshow" to me.
