#4 Well, that's what you get for being an hominid, animals-lovers don't respect you. Too high on the evolutionary ladder, that's a problem I never had.

#5 You know, we shouldn't be using "human" and "evolutionary ladder" in the same sentence.

OR, for that matter, "intelligent design."

#7 Search for Lawndale, IL, 1976, giant bird.
The folks named were not named in the white pages for Lawndale. Nor were there any other people with the same last names when I checked a couple of years ago.
There was a documentary on this subject some years ago on television which referred to some shouldabeen extinct raptor or carrion eater. And they said was the source for the Indians' thunderbird.

#9 Sheesh! Some of you folks need to be a little less close-minded.

There have been credible reports of giant birds in that vicinity of the country for centuries. The chance that a "survival" (which is what you call something you thought was dead, but then discovered otherwise) exists in the regions is not that remote. Such survivals have been found in many other areas of the world. Currently, for example, there's an expedition forming that is looking for the Tazmanian Tiger, an animal previously thought extinct for almost a century.

In addition, there are about 1 million known species of vertebrate animals known in the world. Scientists estimate there might be as many as 3 million - this compares to about 3 million known species of insects and an estimate of 10 million species worldwide.

Folks, there are still lots of desolate, lonely, unexplored places on this planet where lots of things could hide or be left in peace.

Besides, it could be a California condor or another species that flew in on the thermals for cryin' out loud. Birds are misidentified all the time.

Keep an open mind, but not so open your brains fall out.

#11 Geesh; don't you just wish, those nut balls get it in their thick skulls, that such creatures as(Bigfoot, The Abominable Snowman, Nessie, Thunderbirds, UFOs [from other planets that is]'etc.)don't exist and is just a figment of someones ripe fertile and 'induced' imagination! And yes, I'm willing to bet the farm on it, and yours! Such people should strive to enjoy the 72 or so years that they may have, on love of thy neighbors, their spouses and the pursuit of true productive happiness! And somebody PLEASE tell NASA that we're all alone in the universe, and to give our tax dollars back!!

You'd be suprised at how many of them my ex-wife has staked out.
