The Ever-Upvoted Goldmask: is it time to bust out my "bigfoot is bears" photo collection again? if your mental image of a bear is a thick-furred, fat glossy male bear in autumn, you're probably not prepared for how weird their proportions can look in spring, or when walking upright, like they frequently do.

Study finds bigfoot sightings correlate with black bear populations arstechnica.com?p=1997521

Study finds bigfoot sightings correlate with black bear populationsarstechnica.com The big conclusion: "If bigfoot is there, it could be a bear."

this one is my favorite because it was posted to a forum as "probable escaped orangutan".

well this took off. waiting for the bigfoot people to come @ me:

"Bigfoot is bears; change my mind" energy here

I've long maintained that all American Cryptid TV shows should be renamed "It's a Bear!". To introduce a bit more jeopardy, the evidence is weighed and each sighting is given DAB (Definitely a Bear) rating from 0 (It was a Racoon or Coyote) to 1 (Definitely a Bear).

I’m saddened that no one is talking about Sasquatches cosplaying as bears; I hear it’s all the rage with the Bigfoot-youths

I love this pairing of caption and picture.

As you wish

😂😂🤣 Former Park Ranger says 👍.

A bottle of beer or a coffee sitting next to him would complete this

that guy has big "i've been sitting here for 30 minutes and nobody has taken my order yet" energy

Thats what i think now after seeing the thread on Bigfoot bears 🐻 that look like Bigfoot.

Why don’t you drop chupacabra in there conversationally and see what happens?😄

I think Chupacabra’s are Coyotes. I see Coyotes with mange and they look pretty weird. My mom and grandma believed in Bigfoot. I always told them i am not following you down that rabbit hole. 😆

I was very surprised to learn that Chupacabras were invented in 1995, it feels like an older story

Lotta people talk about the burgeoning bear population across the eastern US, but really it's Bigfoots. Chilling

Overheard

Bigfoots have crossed the Hudson River into New England on the tops of tractor trailers.

Bigfeet*

I worried about that

Thanks for the post! I learned something cool. Here's hoping that you received no harassment from Big-Foot picture guys, nor confused big Foot-Picture guys.

Foot is bare 🤓

We keep our bears better Fed around here bsky.app/profile/coco...

The local kids know better, but we still get a few out-of-towners

(Dear autocorrect, I am not an economist)

Why can't people accept that it's bears. As if bears are magical enough.

Meanwhile this bear is waiting for his pic-a-nic basket

Bear-dude is just waiting for his onion rings and Shiner Bock.

I have no idea how people can confuse bears for any sort of ape. Bears don't have ass cheeks and apes don't have external tails!

Distance, light, & length of observation, possibly? I know what a porcupine is, but seeing one in the dusk was still a bit confusing--was it a bear cub? (It was not. Their version of the angry squirrel 'go away' chatter is hair-raising but definitive!)

Maybe people confuse bears with bigfoot because bears are real and bigfoot isn't?

My question still comes to why people reach for fiction when mundane reality is so much cooler and frightening?

People have been asking that question for thousands of years. On a side note I'm currently listening to this at the gym. Coincidence or bullshit?!?!

That’s @gailsimone.bsky.social 😉

Gail Simone is Bigfoot?

This would explain some of the sightings in the Pacific Northwest anyway!

!!!!!!

Interesting thread. Some of those bear 🐻 photographs do look like Bigfoot.

‘Cause that happens so often.

do you think it’s possible they’re intentionally doing this to us, as a joke??

Bears doing things for the Lulz is surprisingly plausible.

Black bears at least. Grizzlies strike me more as the dumber grumpier "get off my lawn" type.

More like “come, step on my lawn mfer! oh wtf let’s see how fast this one can run” types

goose vibes with more speed and bigger claws

I've heard people say much of the problem with bear proof garbage cans is that there's considerable overlap in the IQs of the smartest bears and the dumbest campers.

Yogi Bear was pretty darn smart.
