Georgia Gorilla Big Foot Press Conference Proves Little

Matthew Whitton, Rick Dyer and Tom Biscardi revealed pretty much nothing at their much-awaited Press Conference Friday in Palo Alto, Calif. Although the two men, who claim to have found Bigfoot in the remote woods of Northern Georgia addressed the press, they were unable to produce valid evidence to prove their outrageous claims.

Instead they told the story of their shock over finding the body and how they were circled by other "Bigfoots" as they hauled the carcass to civilization. Still, there's speculation over how two men, who must have been tired from hiking, could have dragged a 7-foot, 7-inch, 500-pound animal at all, let alone on a strenuous hike. But, both Whitton and Dyer's stories remain cloudy and inconsistent, with them first claiming just two of them dragged the body out, then later saying there were at least three more people.

Whitton and Dyer were also unable to go into details about the condition of the body, saying that it was "dead," its intestines were hanging out and the rest would be left to the "scientific community" to figure out. Professional Bigfoot hunter, Biscardi, who has been hunting the creature since 1971 said he was in the process of getting together a group of reputable scientists to uncover secrets the body may hold.

As for the evidence that was supposed to be revealed at the press conference, only two additional photos were handed out, one of the animal's supposed tongue and teeth and the other, a very blurry picture of another supposed Bigfoot in the woods. Dyer and Whitton said they had taken video of at least three other creatures the day they found the body, but did not release the footage. Biscardi claimed the men were hesitant to release anything.

In fact, the men were very secretive about many of the details (especially for a press conference where details are normally addressed), and Whitton, who did most of the talking, had a very inconsistent story. Whitton said the men wanted to keep the remaining living Bigfoots safe and secret, to protect them and their habitat, yet, on their Website www.bigfoottracker.com, the men  advertised Bigfoot tours. They also expressed plans to eventually go on a search for Bigfoot, they hoped to catch one and bring it back alive so it could be studied.

The much talked about DNA evidence also did little to prove Bigfoot had actually been found. Not only was the evidence only an email written by a man named Curt Nelson, who apparently tested the DNA, but the DNA basically proved if there was a Bigfoot, it was part human and maybe possum. Of three DNA samples taken, the first was inconclusive, the second showed whatever the men had was part human and the third, showed the animal was part possum. But, Biscardi said, the third sample was taken from the animal's intestine, and pretty much could've been anything.

So, the men might have found a dead human, which may have eaten a possum before he died. Awesome.

Still, although little was discovered at the conference, our own Bigfoot did make an appearance. He did some interviews, asked if he could see the body of his dead cousin and shed a little light on what it's like to be a Bigfoot in a cruel world.

Luckily, Whitton and Dyer received him well, and Biscardi somehow refrained from caging the animal right then.
