Due to the sensitive nature of the species, I chose not to post this Bigfoot photo onto iNat, but will share it here in the forum.
Isn’t he famous on TV?
If you did post it, you’d certainly need to obscure the location, to protect it!
Nice find! I think this is Troglodytes biscoctophaga.
You know, I was wondering about the taxonomy…
Wow. A living fossil! The last surviving species in the family Megapedidae.
Parvorder Platyrrhini I presume?
This is very important: Did you see any cookies growing nearby?
How did you rule out T. nabiscoensis?
I’m sorry, but the genus name Troglodytes was validly published for a wren in 1809. That use has priority. You’re going to have to come up with a different genus name.
Between us, the location was a weird place called Sesame Street… or something like that.
He may have raided my backpack… the Oreos are missing…
I think I have seen a similar species nearby, in Plaza SĂ©samo.
I propose Crustulum amans (which I believe is the correct latin for “cookie lover”… or is that too similar to biscoctophaga or nabiscoensis?)
Because @DianaStuder (I think) recently made me aware that AI synopses exist:
A discussion on a Bigfoot sighting and photo is taking place. nilshelstrom shared the photo, which they chose not to post on iNat due to the sensitive nature of the species. jorenvanschie suggested the species might be Troglodytes biscoctophaga , but sedgequeen pointed out that the genus name Troglodytes is already in use for a wren and has priority. nilshelstrom proposed the genus name Crustulum amans , meaning “cookie lover,” as the creature appears to have a fondness for cookies. The location of the sighting was revealed to be a place called Sesame Street, nilshelstrom and ItsMeLucy noted similarities to a species seen in Plaza Sésamo.
This may be funnier than the original picture.
keep an eye out for a very big, yellow form of the rare Ivory Billed Woodpecker that may still be present near this Bigfoot. There are even whispers that a small population of mastodons also persists in the area.
I recommend keeping away from the park’s trash receptacles, however.
Really! I understand some may contain a species with potential for composting waste. Seems a shame not to investigate.
The creature is green and exhibits a hostile attitude toward most observers. Approach with caution.
I don’t know if you could post it on iNat. Does it use cookies?
