I’m no believer, quite the skeptic actually, but I’ve always been fascinated by the subject. More recently, I’ve pondered writing a story revolving around the Sasquatch. Something that I’d attempt to do without the schlock and cheesiness that Bigfoot stuff has.
Here’s the thing; I want to say forget it to most of not all the supposed evidence and eye witness accounts and create a realistic interpretation of an intelligent upright ape species in the North America. The only element I wish to carry over is the claims that Bigfoot will throw stones at campers and possibly the howls (though I am more against it than for it because it feels a little overdone).
I have two questions; what would a real Bigfoot be like in appearance and behavior? And what are ways to explain the lack of evidence for such animal?
I have one idea to explain the lack of bodies/fossils; the species, being near caveman intelligence and nomadic solidarity by nature, takes the remains of their partner (they live only with their mates, not in groups) to one place as some kind of proto-religious ritual. The reasons why no remains of the creature has been discovered is because it’s all in one location, which had yet to be discovered, and that the animals make the trip to this location as part of their nomadic behavior.
