As a former Zoologist judging by the size, fur coating and footprints revealed in this video I can safely say this wasn’t a Giraffe

"Believe in yourself, even when no one else does," -Bigfoot

I hate when PhD’s think they know everything. They’re often goofier than anyone else around. Just ask most college graduates

It’s hilarious that the PhD would say that. It’s more likely to spot a Bigfoot than it is to spot a big shot PhD biologist out in the forest doing research (or anything at all, really)

These are moments I wish people had a drone on them and went for a closer look

When panda bears were first learned of , it then took 50 years to find one in the wild

I think it's actually ridiculous to make the assumption that we've found everything there is.

You know it's Bigfoot when you can't get a clear footage of it in your camera

I think some of these "scientists" fail to grasp how big the world really is.

I been all over the US and there are hundreds of miles of forest and woods in just about every state that haven't seen a human in decades. So, the chances of something like a sasquatch being out there wouldn't surprise me.

I believe in the things that I see with my own eyes and can feel in my gut. I also believe Eric Rickart is a pompous ass, close-minded fool. And just because you haven't seen Sasquatch, doesn't mean he hasn't seen you.

These sightings for most part are very much real. I live in Southwest Alabama and I can tell you there’s been 5 sightings in my town since 1970s. 2 witnesses I know very well and trust with there two eyes with all my heart have seen them behind my local Walmart. These creatures are very much real and alive today.

The Phd says there are a lot of undiscovered things especially in the natural world but they don't take the form of a giant ape. How does he know what form they take if they're "undiscovered"?

Wow. A so called scientist with a completely closed mind. How the hell does he get any work done?

I live on Vancouver Island and these creatures are real.

Eric Rickart is full of himself ... such the expert until he sees one for himself.

A century ago Europeans dismissed the Mountain Gorilla as a myth. Guess that didn't play out to well.

1:00 “what is the likelihood that there are big animals that have gone undetected” 😂🤦🏻‍♂️. There are literally tens of thousands of Sasquatch sightings reported and probably thousands more not reported... Real or not, I’d say that means they are “detected”.

I was stationed at Hill AFB back in the late 70's. There were very large footprints attributed to bigfoot found in the foothills of North Ogden. It made the news (if I remember correctly). The area was not even close to being as populated as it is now. So, is there a possibility that a larger primate type of being exists? Seems to me sightings are becoming more common, which makes sense, as the "wilderness" is shrinking due to human encroachment.

My wife and myself had a bigfoot 10ft in front of my car. 3am squatting down in my driveway looked like a dead bush I turned in it stood up growled and was gone. Jordan Arkansas in 2015

They are not going to show themselves to Eric. He can hit the woods every day for a year and never see one. Thats the way it is for people with closed minds.

It has been seen by trained observers...police officers. They've gone on record and reported Sasquatch sightings.

I love how he dispels Bigfoot being possible but at the same time says there’s undiscovered species everywhere. Sounds like double speak and talking yourself in circles to me! Videos funny too because the guy sees signs of something that doesn’t look like deer tracks but they never show you a picture of it and deer tracks, bear tracks and Bigfoot tracks look nothing like each other.

I feel so sorry for so-called professors who went to all that college and then have a closed mind.

He is the kind of liar that puts many people in harm's way. He's just jealous that others have seen things he hasn't. Since he wants to be the'authority'. Laughable at best.

You know, there was a time, about the beginning of the 1900's, apparently Silver back gorillas were said to be a myth. And if i'm not mistaken, during the VietNam war, some animals in the forest of Viêtnam were discoverd by American soldiers. And apparently, some scientistes said that big octopus could not exists untill someone found one. So Who knows what these guys saw??

I can't stand the fact when scholars, scientists, intellectuals and academia tell you that regardless of what thousands of people saw and experienced; that sasquatch doesn't exist. What arrogance, such a condescending attitude in addition they take the approach that they have the final say.

They're not in settled areas. They're in the wilderness areas for the most part. Some Squatch are moving about and ending up in areas where man had not been before. Basically man is invading Squatch turf.

"My job is discovering new animals" "New animals are discovered all the time" "It's impossible that there is an undiscovered new primate"

Seriously my wife and I were coming back to Salt Lake through Lambs Canyon around a turn we saw something that looked like a rock stand up, like seriously the best way I can describe it, i don't like to use double negatives, it placed it's very human hands on the ground, pushed upwards with it's hands and legs and stood like a man. It was covered in ruddy red hair and was not as fat as I would have thought it was very slender and tall. I thought bigfoot would be fat or more muscular but it wasn't. It looked like a really tall ape man who was thin and yoked. It was crazy.

Once Bigfoot is finally discovered, I have a feeling that zoologist will quickly become a former zoologist.

That Zoologist is a perfect representation of the narrow-mindedness of many Academics today. He says "there is a lot that hasn't been discovered in the natural world, but they don't take the form of giant apes running around in settled areas". So, on one hand, there's a lot we don't know, yet, he's perfectly comfortable saying that Sasquatch DOESN'T exist.

Come on People! Sasquatch is the reigning hide and seek champion!!

I'm in Nebraska, came across foot print -40 wind chill, 16" long 8" wide with five toe's in ice. Your not going to tell me they are not out in the woods by the river's.

Silverback gorillas were first "discovered" in 1902, the Tapanuli Orangutan (Pongo Tapanuliensis) discovered in 2017 and geographically isolated for 10-20,000 years in Sumatra, the Sundland Clouded Leopard in Borneo discovered in 2010... I'll bet there are many animals of medium to large size out in the wild that have not been discovered yet.

Tell my friend that drove up on one laying in the road (secluded area about 5 in morning) they don’t exist. It stood up at least 8 feet tall and walked down a steep ditch like level ground.

Sasquatch is real. They just have to have a "Dr" give his two cents and try to debunk it because they still want Sasquatch to be covered up.

I don't really know how I feel about Bigfoot, but he lost me at scientist's and trained observers. I've met you guys I wouldn't trust you to identify a housecat.

That Provo sasquatch is HUGE ! And naysayers, like Rickart, should prove they DONT exist, instead of simply saying they're undiscovered. Which is BS !

Most people don't believe in aliens. Yet three of the most honest people I know, had a space ship hover in front of their car. My point? The "professional" zoologist guy INSTANTLY discredits himself imo.

Love the expert, if I didn't see it, it doesn't exist...

It's that exact attitude towards bigfoot that Eric has, that prevents him from being able to potentially see a bigfoot. He probably goes into the woods, making a shit ton of noise and being completely obnoxious.

Thank goodness for Dr. Expert (PhD in Always Rational, Curator of No Fun) to make sure we don’t allow our minds to wander too far outside of the box, but I’d rather go hiking with Bigfoot hunter guy any day!

Rickart's comments are curious but also very prideful and arrogant. It's not reasonable to state that new species of large animals such as a large ape couldn't possibly exist, and just because some people (no matter their skills or experience) have failed to detect these animals, that does not mean they don't exist. He merely thinks too highly of his own abilities and completely disregards many thousands of eyewitnesses, photos and videos, multiple casts of tracks and samples of hair even among many other signs in nature typical to Bigfoot/Sasquatch.

I Believe and no one will ever take that from me. im a full grown man and think for myself.

Dr. Eric Rickart is mistaken... I have audio recordings of their nocturnal activities and many vocalizations of/from these Creations. I have encountered them on a few occasions. They are as REAL as the good Dr. is WRONG...

Dude discrediting bigfoot had no idea what it was, but was certain it wasn't Bigfoot lol.

A little known philosopher once said, believe in yourself even when others don’t “ that philosopher was Sasquatch.

“Here’s some words do I don’t lose my tenure and cushy paycheck” - Eric

Truth is,we are surrounded by the unknown.And because we don't know doesn't mean they don't exist.

the key word here is "plausible" never say "it is" or "it isn't", unless you are 100% certain

I only have one question. If they have found skeletal remains of dinosaurs from millions of years , then how come no one has ever found Sasquatch remains?

The coelacanth was thought to be extinct by “experts”, until one was caught off the coast of Madagascar in 1938. Ph.D ( piled higher and deeper)

The expert most likely don’t believe because he never really gets out there and he’s pissed off because real men get out there and discover for themselves.

Everyone I know who hunts there whole life hasn’t never seen a biologist in the woods😅😅

The size of whatever this is, is semi-convincing. However, until these people stop capturing this on camera (at a convenient, ambivalent distance), and capture it for real, I believe none of it.

Ultracrepidarian: One who speaks with authority on subjects they know little or nothing about, pretty much sums it up with regards to this "expert's" opinion. These beings have incredible awareness and an ability to discern intentions and motivations of ANY human who enters their territory, and is the reason more people don't see them. In cases of long distance sightings, like the one in this video, and the Marble Mountain event in Washington State, they seem to be less concerned about being observed. One thing is certain, and I speak from personal experience; once they reveal themselves to you, your life will never be the same...

A several years ago, The so-called scientist said there is no such thing as large squids. A few years ago, Japanese fishermen’s accidentally caught a very large squids & then marine biologist got their answer when wondering how or why do the sperm whales have these huge circle marks around their body? The sperm whales were trying to eat those very large squids & those circle marks on their body’s are from the squids tentacles fighting back.

I believe that they know when to come out and hunt. Like they know when someone's camera focus, zoom, and resolution doesn't work. Props to the Bigfoots of the world for their intuition!

That thing was gigantic. Seriously big from that distance. What could it have been

See that's the mistake most make when faced with the potentiality that something other than what we commonly have knowledge about of, could be out in the wilderness. They say it would have to be something that is a part of the animal kingdom, resultant of evolution or the like, etc., and so forth. Although Sasquatch seems physical at times I don't believe it is just another animal of the forest such as bears, mountain lions, racoons, coyotes, wolves, etc. I think there is much more of a history to Bigfoot that includes paranormal activity and the supernatural. Of course scientist won't accept that. Regardless of all that, it doesn't seem like sightings of Bigfoot will be going away anytime soon.

I don't know how anyone can say this does not exist. We are discovering new animals all the time.

Dr. Erik doesn’t want to talk about the history of the Panda Bear, it’s 7 thousand years of cryptid folklore before it was finally captured, or that those people that had seen it in the bamboo forests became social out casts if they said anything about what they saw.

Everybody knows about the existence of Sasquatch. Even in northern Europe we have those creatures! Especially in Sweden 🇸🇪, Norway 🇳🇴, Finland and so on.... Greetings from Linz-Austria🇦🇹🏔⛷🛶🍺🥨😎✌️😊👍💙🇦🇹 Europe! 🇪🇺

But they haven’t gone unnoticed

Consider all the disinformation and suppression of facts we've seen lately. It's not so unbelievable to me now. People consistently have reported the creature, gotten footage, photos, and other samples of evidence. The part that makes me think twice, is that this hasn't slowed down, people will always report seeing bigfoot. If the creature was highly intelligent, and had very dark fur, the only real way you'd see him in the woods if he was moving, and you can see plenty of videos of big dark creatures moving swiftly from and into hiding places. When I was a kid riding my dirtbike, around a field and a skidder trail, I had an incident where I kept seeing a black figure moving fast through the trees. The whole trail was a loop, so I was going around this figure. I was with my brother and we both stopped, I said I felt like I was being watched and he said he kept seeing something black moving really fast. I assumed it was a bear and we jetted out of there. Looking back it may have been a bear, but two things strike me, 1 seeing how some of the supposed bigfoot move through the trees reminded me of how this thing was moving around essentially staying hidden the whole time. 2 Why would a bear care to watch 2 boys riding dirtbikes, you'd think it would either warn us off or run away itself, I don't believe a black bear would stalk humans for prey, especially with such loud machines.

"How could Sasquatch avoid the trained, scientific, all knowing eyes of we... the scientific elite?" Excuse me while I puke. By the way, they aren't "apes."

Yes, it’s true. I’ve seen them before here as well.

Dr. Eric should choose another carrier.. he is a complete failure..!!

Mr Eric Rickard has no idea what’s really going on in all big forests around the world! Even in northern Europe we have those creatures here.

Likelihood - very. There are hundreds of stories dating back to hundreds of years. How many other things have scientists been absolutely sure about? And most people who say it’s not possible aren’t even scientists.

so-called scientist has the audacity he thinks he's such an expert the Sasquatch is way smarter than he is

Go hiking off trail up the steep slopes of the Wasatch Mountains by yourself for a day and your perception of reality might change before you make it home.

After studying how the education system works it is easy to see how someone like Dr Eric Rickart believes what he believes. It's sad that the news show did not seek out a countering opinion from some like Dr Jeffrey Meldrum. Remember how all the "doctors" swore by the safety of cigarettes? Yeah. They were so sure that cigarettes and DDT were good for us.

Largely settled areas? There are tens of thousands of square miles of unexplored forest. NOT TO MENTION WHAT MIGHT BE UNDERNEATH IT ALL

NEVER believe an 'expert' with a PhD. Their info usually doesn't seem to come from real experiences.

it's really hard to say whether or not there are the sasquatches out there in the woods & forest , who knows if they do exist just maybe they want to be left alone; one can "never say never" anything is possible.

Eric needs to Google Todd Standing and his actual clear videos of sasquatch. Not to mention the DNA we have that proves existence.... He should also talk with Paul Meldrum.. Open your eyes Eric....

All these years and Sasquatch is still the best player in hide and go seek. 🤣

"Their findings, were inconclusive." Thats a surprise, who saw that coming?

They've been here for centuries on different continents documented a giant homid. In cultures all over the globe

More like a doctor of crushing dreams. Jesus that was brutal. 😂

They're not animals, they are humanoid. They are "Sabe". They do exist and our Natuonal forest ranges were designed to protect these people from harm, to co-exi with us

The last Thylacine (zebra dog) died in a zoo around 1912, yet over 100 years later, they are being spotted again in the wild in Australia. I do believe the “Bigfoot” species exists in multiple different areas.

It is known by scientists that Sasquatch has the mental ability to turn off the Zoom option of every camera made by man.

I played the slow motion frame over & over until the shapes made sense to my eyes. There is a lighter portion on it's head, which looks like it's a lighter, shiny face, kind of like an ape or gorilla and with dark brown or black fur/hair. It looks like, as it's walking past the space in the trees, it is looking back at something(like the camera man) & then turns forward to walk away. To me it looks like more of a man-shaped (taller & skinnier, standing upright like a human) ape-like creature. It looks friendly enough. We should leave it alone. It would be cool to finally figure out what it is though.

Eric Rickart PHD 'lots of animals undiscovered but they don't take the form of giant apes running around' ??? Billy apes discovered 2011 measure 180 cm's!

these beings are real..that is a fact

I saw big foot once, it made a sound that I'd never want to hear again!

Just because you did not find it doesn't mean it doesn't exists.

And 35 years ago they said that there were no coyotes in my area of Maryland - saw them, had a client that had them in her back pasture every night, had a friend that shot one, had one in my own suburban backyard, and now the natural resources people say yes there are yotes in the area - DUH! If they don't see them, they don't exist...maybe a less time in the vehicle would help.

the "expert" is a fool. I'm surprised they gave his name LOL!

This "PHD" has obvioulsly been told to deny the existance of this creature. He knows they exist. I have never seen one in Provo Canyon, but I have seen one on Mount Nebo, south of provo.

This is my footage, if you're interested in learning more about it, comment below...

How dare there be a Bigfoot without the almighty scientist knowing of it! Lol(;

What was it then? It obviously wasn't a bear, and it was a lot bigger than the human standing in the same spot.

Hey Dr. Eric.. Wake Up!!!

I think Eric Rickart isn't the best reference, our forests are immense and can easily hide species that sense us long before we do them. There's just been way too many sightings and we all know it's not a bear or other simple excuse.

Do you know how many millions of acres of land there is in North America? I think it's a little arrogant for the zoologist to say there's no chance of there being Sasquatch! There are places undiscovered and so remote.There could be thousands of unknown caves in North America alone that have never been discovered and we might be dealing with a creature that tries to avoid being seen at all costs.. I've spent most of my life in the wilderness I've never seen a dead cougar or a dead bear when they perish they go away into solace places if we're talking about a creature that could be far less populated who knows?

It's been my lifelong dream to see Sasquatch at least once but I live in the city and to do that I'll have to move up in the mountains and go camping every weekend
