next someone will to have claimed to have found Jesus wondering around in America what next

raymond gleichmar, canberra , australia

I really hope this is a hoax. This could be a being that was not doing anything but living its life away from humans. Man kill things that not understood or unexplained. This was a day of sorrow for me, to kill and not observe should be a crime. But murder is a crime,if this is human.

Leo , Russell, USA

I hope it isn't a hoax and it keeps all the believers going. Imagne all the other unexplained events that have happened, and not answered. This will take on a whole new level of others(human's and non-human) living with us that we don't know about or haven't found. I think this is awsome.

josh, INDIANA, USA

It might just be a stray gorilla family......
and like Jessica says, if they made a hoax video of Bigfoot before, how are we supposed to believe them now?
Cry wolf too many times, no one will listen.......

James , El Toro, Spain

I really hope this is a hoax. If it were real i dont think they should be treating it like that. I mean isnt it part man? Showing all the insides or whatever was hanging from the stomach. They wouldnt show a man's dead body like that.

Kelli , tempe, usa

As a citizen in a new information and media age, I ask for more than 1970's-style, blurry, dark photos as evidence for what would be an enormous discovery. My hoax alarm is at DEFCON 5. With plenty of time to prepare before the press conference, facts: no body, no DNA evidence, poor photos. Hoax = $

Brad, Santa Rosa,

They taste like chicken.

Stu, Arkansas, USA

I agree with Lori, that I hope it is a hoax because otherwise it has been hunted and killed. But I just can't believe in this, the picture looks so fake and surely if there was any truth in it, scientists would have easily been able to show that it's real by now, It hasn't been all over the news.

Jessica, Leeds,

I'd love to believe.But the guys responsible were previously guilty of a hoax bigfoot video. Look up Big Foot on wikipedia.

Joseph, london, uk

i dont really know what to think of thes it could be wearing a mask and it should be a crime if they found a creature shouldnt we know were to find it if scientists were to study the natural habitat and how they live what they do how they act to see if there violent or to see how they adapted

Devin Harris, courpus christi, usa

I find myself unaccountably sceptical. I can't think why. http://notnews.today.com/2008/08/16/internet-memeticists-find-bigfoot-ya-rly/

David Gerard, London, UK

They've found OddBod !

tony, London, UK

Do people actually believe that stuff ?

Julio, Nancy, France

A chancer is born every minute and it's August after all.

Mikko Takala, Drumnadrochit, Scotland

There might not be DNA specified too compare Bigfoot there is research into Human Evolution if Humans Evolved from Ape as too create Humans then Bigfoot would fall a few Lithics before Boxgrove (Pre-Dinasour), that is only valid in Human Evolution process dependant on its Skull for research.

OByrne, Preston, Lancashire, United Kingdom

Doensn't anyone else find it funny how many comments this story has generated? It also is the most viewed story. What does that say about us? My father is an highly educated man who hangs out wit the elite and yet he would take me to see every movie about Bigfoot when I was a kid. Too funny!!

Gita, Golden, USA

i hope it IS a hoax; it makes me sad that it could have been hunted and killed. If they do exist, they must be smart enough not to leave their habitat and go into the city.

Lori, Whitehorse, Canada

And gas will be $ 1.00 a gal. next week

toothpick, boone, usa

they really found it ?? wow!!

allygee, Harrogate, England

They have to hold out on giving anything to the media because the have to make sure they have all legal rights to the find and so they can get rich off this stunt, I don't think it's real but I do thing there are things we have not yet discovered. If it's real you don't give it away for free.

April , Tampa, USA

How can two men carry a 500lb beast into a refrigirator?
-If they do exist don't you think that one of them would have left their habitat and gone into the city?

Cat, Salinas, US

why didnt they want anyone elese to see the body besides the bigfoot expert at first?

ralph, seaside hieghts, ocean

It is probably another hoax like the alien autopsy video of the 90's. Maybe they should have called the enquirer so bigfoot could make the front page next to the dead family dog that came back and saved five children from a dragon attack.

Andrew, Charlotte, America

This looks like a orangutan to me. And tell me why the pictures of this animal can't be enlarged when I click on them?? I think these guys that found this thing don't have anything better to do.

Michelle, Huntsville, United States

OH MY GOD, all you Americans just fighting over who's country is best....GET A GRIP, and about the Big Foot??? HaHaHaHaHaHaHa..........................I'm still laughing :-)

Dee Smith, Edinburgh, Scotland

Leave the live ones alone!!!

M, Okanogan, U.S.A.

That's absolutely hilarious! Had me in stitches! Reminded me of the "Leave Brittany alone!" video. Brilliant.

Why has he been chopped up into pieces? If they had 'the real bigfoot' wouldn't they want to keep him intact?

Alice, Leeds,

Come on! whatever! the prank of the season no doubt. Aren't we all adults get a grip of he situation people stopped believing years ago. What we want is facts facts and even more facts or yes and the TRUTH.

Damien smith, birstall, england

Big Foot????????? Yeah Right

Becky, Oldham,

I think it's nonsense. Something that big woud hae been discoveed by now. Why don't they parade the body in front of the media? Why haven't they sent the body to a museum to be analysed and verified? Makes you wonder.

Jeff Pullinger, Hornchurch, UK

"Whitton, 33 - who is currently on leave from police work after accidentally shooting himself while pursuing a robbery suspect"

Come on!

This has a wacky Chevy Chase movie written all over it!

Neil Diamonti, Liverpool, UK

Bigfoot would not be protected. They can't protect something that's not even proven to exist.

Joe Quintiliani, Austin, Texas, USA

More convincing than the "Shothimselfinthefoot" in the other Georgia

Dave, Plymouth,

Isn't bigfoot protected by the US Constitution? If this is indeed bigfoot hasn't a potential murder been committed - how do we know the hunters didn't kill him? Isn't there an obligation to turn all evidence over to the proper authorities?

Mike, Hong Kong, China

Smells of hoax: If you had a body, why take a small "sample" for "DNA verification" ? If you had a body , you WOULD NOT NEED the DNA verification; you would have the actual animal as proof. Just having the head of an animal would be proof alone. DNA is for when you find hairs or scraps,etc.

Travis C, Tulsa,

Bigfoot ??!! Heck no. That's just one of them mountain girls they have over there (or a mountain mother-in-law).

Dave, Phoenix, AZ, USA

As an American, I'm proud to see that I love this story because the story is actually less embarrassing than having Bush as a president.

J Putnam, Dallas, TX, USA

Actually Tim in Calgary,

Toronto has an estimated population of 5,113,000 while Atlanta has an estimated population of 5,626,000 so Atlanta would be the largest city in Canada. Nothing wrong with that....I love Canada, just letting everyone know that GA is not some backwoods state.

Micheal, Atlanta, USA

Bigfoot is indeed real. I can prove to America without a shadow of a doubt (I have no ties to Biscardi, Marine Corps veteran, degree in history and gainfully employed). The proof is easy. Go to you local Wal-Mart or Dollar Store and you can see many Bigfoots walking around in NASCAR t-shirts & jeans

Mike, Dallas,

Their website is the most irritating web site I have ever had the misfortune to stumble across. It seems to have been designed to maximize the irritation of the visitor.

Jason, Broken Arrow, Oklahoma

It's poorly done. Look at the actual photo and compare it to humans and apes; the odds of it having an underbite that severe seems far to suspicious( compared to a typical overbite of hominids and apes). Then look at the nose and flat face; something to me says "1968 Planet of the Apes". Hoax.

Kate, Denver,

John of Atlanta you are woefully misinformed. Several cities in Canada are far larger than Atlanta.

Tim, Calgary, Canada

Do you always have to see to believe? No. Wouldnt it be amazing if there was really something out there that so many thought fake? I think so. Trust me I cant say I believe it. But if my grandfather, Tom Biscardi, solves this mystery and figures it true, than good for him. History in the making!

Kaela , Truckee,

No mention of the size of his *feet* hey? It sounds like a hoax. How could they leave out the most important information.

jayil, london, uk

Missing Link? Keep an open mind. Maybe true, too soon to say.

They'll know by the bullet holes if they shot it. Is it Bigfoot season?

Shoot it or not, there it is. Maybe. We'll see soon enough, won't we?

Ever wonder why so many are interested? We believe it already.

phillip anderson, springfield , USA

Leave the live ones alone!!!

M, Okanogan, U.S.A.

If this was real, two things would happen: an immediate press conference and full access/disclosure to a medical team. But what did they do? Call a conference 3,000 miles away in Ca., and release a shoddy picture. Why would they store the missing link in the sun with exposed organs/crooked neck

JimNorton, DC,

The photo is fake. You can see that the so called head appears different thatn the rest of the picture (it is faded). A bad cut and paste job. If the photos were real these bigfoot pictures would not look so bad. A $7 disposable could take a better picture.

Patrick, Simi Valley, CA, USA

If they found the creature already dead in a remote area that took more than a day to reach, where exactly is this freezer they stuffed it in? And how did they get a 500lb creature from the remote spot it was found to this freezer, which obviously runs on electricity? Sounds like a hoax to me...

JJ, Los Angeles,

It looks like an empty fancy-dress gorilla-costume heaped up in a box.

Liam, Stoke, UK

Uh, Mike, you're aware that humans and chimps share about 99% of our DNA, right? It seems unlikely that this bigfoot (if real) would be significantly different from that standpoint. Please try to keep up with real science if you're going to make fantastic claims about a magic being in the sky.

Franklin, Ypsilanti,

Mr. Chuckman may not realize that Atlanta is also in north Georgia. Atlanta is larger than every city in Canada, so if every inhabitant of north Georgia is an "American Appalachian Throwback," then what kind of backwoods pejorative should we come up with to describe all the citizens of Canada?

John Walters, Atlanta,

Georgia has a very rugged, sparsely populated area in its northwestern aspect. This area is part of the Appalachian mountains. It may be possible for some bigfoot to be there, if the story can be verified and is not something falsely reported. It is one natural resource that needs to stay that way.

Anne, Smyrna, USA

Rickmat ???? don't you mean RICK-ROLL'd

I'm just waiting for the guy in the monkey suit to jump up and start singing Rick Astley's 'never gonna give you up'
That Press Conference is gonna be sooo funny ;p
lol

Tricky Rickey, Norwich,

Uh huh, and the earth is flat, the easter bunny is real and I really want to believe in Santa Claus too. Their motives and stupidity with be revealed in time. Now will the legitimate press of the planet please find something better to do and leave this to the Enquirer and Weekly world News

Charlie, raleigh, usa

But what's to gain from a hoax like this, especially if one of the guys -- Tom Biscardi -- fashions himself as a serious Bigfoot hunter.

Rhea, Boston, US

In related news, the guy who plays a sasquatch in a Jack Links Beef Jerky commercial reported his costume stolen.

mntx, Texas, USA

http://www.livescience.com/strangenews/080813-bigfoot-sighting.html

Read that, and see if you recognize the name Biscardi in that. He is the perpetrator of two hoaxes previously according to this website.

Drew, Detroit, USA

Yeah, right.

Ken S, Burlington, Ontario, Canada

Mike - your comment is so brilliantly, ridiculously, comically moronic.

B Raj, Adelaide,

A proper DNA analysis in two weeks? Good luck

G. A. S, ABQ, USA

very good pr stunt - "the two men run a bigfoot tracking business" was the line that caught my eye

mark, manchester, uk

> Another evidence of an infinitely creative Designer of the Universe.

If this creature had no genetic connection with the rest of life the logical conclusion would be that it would have a better claim to be descended from Adam and Eve than humans. We are related to the rest of life. Get over it.

PJO, London, UK

I am a Georgia native. I come from a long line of "Throw-Backs". Trust me when I say; if two rednecks are walking in the woods with guns and a bigfoot walks by...well, lets just say he was just found dead.

Nonya Jones, Atlanta, USA

I saw another story where it says they had to walk for 2 days to get back from to the remote site where they found it. How did 2 guys carry a 230kg dead weight for 2 days?!

Mike if this does turn out to be hoax and there is no Bigfoot, would that constitute evidence against intelligent design?

Rob, Sydney, Australia

The whole story is a total hoax. The thing in the freezer is a costume purchased from the internet with a phony tongue and some fake teeth and some animal entrails thrown in for good measure. That isn't even a good fake. Come on.

Mr Bluze, Metter,

Mr. Chuckman, the article says that they found the body. It does not say that they killed it. Keep your stereotypes to yourself.

Dave Benner, Toronto, Canada

Actually, Mr. Chuckman, they claim to have found the body.

B Moon, Williamsburg, VA, USA

Another evidence of an infinitely creative Designer of the Universe. the DNA analysis will show how this is unrelated to all other bipeds (possibly) but another creature unknown until now, from day six of the Creation Week. Wonderful!!

Mike, Great Falls, Montana, USA

And I've just seen a cow jump over the moon followed by a flying pig wearing a NY yankees baseball cap.

Derek, East Yorkshire uk,

Fake.

M Khan, Peterborough, UK

That would be pretty cool if it was true.

Norm, Ottawa, Canada

Get that bad boy mounted!

Dusty Burton, Saucier, U.S.A.

if this is truely the discovery of a "bigfoot" this surely tells us this planets slowly getting smaller and that we are endevouring to search every square inch of it.

I would have liked it to be alive........wouldnt it have been wonderful if it actually spoke.

Judy Shaw, Adelaide, australia

"The pair, Matthew Whitton and Rick Dyer, say that they discovered the body of the mythical apeman in a remote forest in northern Georgia."

They didn't shoot it!

Chris, yardley,

Of course, leave it to a Canadian to make a snide comment about the US and its people regarding an article about a mystery creature!

Certainly very rich coming from the blandest nation on earth.

The two gentlemen did not shoot it, they found the body of what they say is a bigfoot.

Laura, Spokane, Washington

I agree that it's hard to imagine this being the real deal.

If you read the article a little more closely, however, you'll see that the men never claimed to have shot it; they said that they discovered the body of an already deceased Big Foot.

Mike, Raleigh, USA

If this is genuine (a remote chance I know) then surely this is one of the most significant finds in recent earth histroy?

Nick, London,

John, let's learn to read-

"that they discovered the body of the mythical apeman in a remote forest in northern Georgia"

Andrew Hucks, South Carolina, USA

American Appalachian Throwbacks? The creature was found dead; nobody shot "bigfoot." So, please save your anti American jabs for another issue.

Steven, Northport, USA

If you read the report, they didn't actually shoot Bigfoot.
They 'found' him.

Paul Perry, Melbourne , Australia

Where does it say they shot it? I wasn't aware "American Appalachian Throwbacks" were prone to shooting rare creatures...and I've lived amongst these "throwbacks" for most of my life. I guess they're not the people I thought they were. It's time for me to move.

Phil, Knoxville, Appalachia, USA
