Monsters In the Basin of the former Champlain Sea.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 0.18in; margin-bottom: 0.11in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">By

<p align="center" style="line-height: 0.18in; margin-bottom: 0.11in;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">I
Grew up in the Ottawa Valley on the shores of the Ottawa river where
the </span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">Madawaska</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> river joins it. I remember tales of a Monster in the in
Otter Lake at Cobden Ont. called </span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">Hexapolar</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">, better know now as
Mussie.. This was what I thought at the time just a local legend much
like Big Joe Muffaraw the legendary lumberjack Stories told by local
story teller Bernie Badore.</span></span></span></span></p>
<p align="center" style="line-height: 0.18in; margin-bottom: 0.11in;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">It
was while researching a new series of </span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">Children's</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> book to include the
Chats lake monster, similar to Mussie of muskrat lake.</span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p align="center" style="line-height: 0.18in; margin-bottom: 0.11in;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The
Chats Lake Serphant was actually captured in 1882 by men from my home
town of Arnprior, off our very shores. Upon looking into this story
to expand it for this blog that I looked up to Muskrat Lake and the
Muskrat River which actually also fed off the Ottawa river. The
further I looked in the Ottawa river basin, the more of these
mysterious Lake </span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">Serphant</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> were found, what they all have in common is
the ancient Champlain Sea. I think you see where I am going now.</span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p align="center" style="line-height: 0.18in; margin-bottom: 0.11in;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Almost
every major river and lake attached seem to show a large </span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">Serphant</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> like creature varying to 12-14 feet This area also encompasses
Current day Lake Champlain and the legendary Champ. One is Elvis in
Dows Lake part of the Rideau </span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">Canal</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">, a skater in 2021 reported seeing
this large aquatic animal swimming beneath the ice and trying to
break </span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">through. And</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> the canal was mysteriously closed the next day.. In
in 2015 Two environmental Studies students captured photos of an </span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">American</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> eel. 10-15 meters in length in Dows Lake. That’s 33-45
feet.. Most of these lakes and rivers are now landlocked with the
exception of the St. Lawrence seaway and the 5 great lakes. ALL of
which have sightings of large serpentine creatures. The Reported
sizes are far beyond the norm for American eels. </span></span></span></span>
</p>
<p align="center" style="line-height: 0.18in; margin-bottom: 0.11in;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The
Reason I bring up American eels is while they </span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">usually</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> bred and die
in the </span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">Sargasso</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> sea on the Atlantic Ocean, some Hydro </span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">dams</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> have made
it almost impossible for the dwindling population of Ottawa River
eels to return to </span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">their</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> breeding grounds, hence a constant growth
would explain exceptional sizes being seen and dubbed river </span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">Serphant</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> (I assure you if I saw 30 </span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">ft.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> eel I too would call it a monster).But
if you consider they have no natural predators and an unlimited food
supply the occasional gigantic </span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">specimen</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> is not unfeasible. This
could explain almost every Lake Monster around the world, including
the fabled Loch ness Monster and Champ of Lake Champlain part of the
former Champlain Sea. Could this be just eels who are </span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">exceptionally </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">old
and </span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">continued</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> to grow instead of going off to breed and die a massive
decline in </span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">American</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> eel populations in the last 50 years (up to 90%)
also opens up a endless supply of prey. Ottawa Riverkeepers is a </span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">organization</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> trying to save the dwindling stock of the once most
populous fish species on the Ottawa River.</span></span></span></span></p>
<p align="center" style="line-height: 0.18in; margin-bottom: 0.11in;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">American,
European eels all migrate to the </span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">Sargasso</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> sea to breed, with cross </span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">bred</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> known as Islandic eels are a cross of </span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">European</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> female and
American males breeding,</span></span></span></span></p>

<span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Due
to restrictions to go to their regular breeding grounds, or a unknown
type of cold water eel or a yet yet classified Animal, it does seem
Lake </span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">Serphant</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> of some sort ply the waters and lakes of the world.. I
found this study extremely interesting and I do not consider myself a
Water </span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">Cyprid</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> explorer. A quick search of Canadian Sea </span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">Serphant</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">, Lake
monsters, or almost any similar search will bring you up a literal
rabbit hole you may be sorry you opened if you have to work or go to
school the next morning. Underwater seas, lakes and rivers also give
access to explain a similar if not the same creature being spotted.
If you have a story please leave it in the comments below. I would be
happy to hear them and perhaps we can explain this enigma haunting
the waters I learned to </span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">swim</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> in.. Yikes.</span></span></span></span></span></p>

was born in Canada in 1961 in Cold Lake Alberta and moved with my
family at a very young age of 6 months to the Nations Capital of
Ottawa Ontario. my Fathers retirement from the Royal Canadian Air
Force as a </span><span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">Stationary</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> engineer took my family to Arnprior Ontario.
were I spent most of my informative years. At a young age I had a </span><span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">fascination</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> in the U.F.O field, being a Member of Mufon, and the
Mufon CB Radio relay network. I had a encounter in 1972 of a strange
object and sighting a Canadian Fighter jet in the area, I have never
been able to find anything about this, no records or reports other
then I and 3 friends who witnessed the event. I was also interested
in Yeti and Bigfoot. I would read endless books on science fiction,
but never </span><span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">truly</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> studied in depth till my 3rd Daughter ( I have 3 and
a Bonus Daughter who are all very special to me ) Took a rabid </span><span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">fascination</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> on just about anything Cryptid after watching Monster X on
T.V. Carols questions and wanting to know more drew me back into the
field of study and the three of us began a </span><span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">fascinating</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> journey with
Carol her Mom and I going to strange locations, joining the T.B.R.C.
None of us have ever stopped looking for new and </span><span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">fascinating</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> reports.
David is semi-retired from GM where he worked on the gun system for

there close to the big Thicket and many many stories of Bigfoot.
Carol and I Returned to Canada in 2016 were I meant my New Wife and
Bonus Daughter and I hunkered down and released 15 </span><span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">children's</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> books,

assemble my data sets and already have a planned field study for 2023

Cats and dogs and have a love for nature. I am excited to start my
new Adventure and hope I can bring new light on situations and help
preserve unknown Animals and nature before it is to late. Great every
day with Wonder, there is always something new. You just have to be

perimeter of the ship and finding no insignia on it he approached the
open door of the craft, the strong odour of Sulphur and burnt motor.</span></p>

<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span> </span>He heard murmuring of voices
coming from inside the ship, as well as the hissing of air, and the
whirring of motors. He called out into the door offering mechanical
help to the “Yankee Boys”. The murmuring fell silent. He tried
calling out in his native Polish, Russian and German. He put on his
welding glass he used while mining to avoid quartz chips and dust
getting into his eyes. Looking inside the ship he saw light beams and
panels of of various coloured lights, but he could see anyone or any
other living thing.</span></p>

rotate counter clockwise, the panel he had sketched in his drawing
rotated in front of him and a blast or hot air or gas hit him on the
chest pushing him back and setting his his shirt and cap on fire.</span></p>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />If we accept that Sasquatch, or in this case Daryl, is significantly human, we have to consider that he also has emotion. Without good evidence of interaction between multiple animals, or even interaction with humans, it's hard to gage what sort of emotional capacity this big guy has. Most often, we compare him to either gorillas or humans. Both of these have the capacity to feel and express emotion.<br /><br />Given those things, what can we infer about Sasquatch? Gorillas in the wild have been well </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">documented to show affection. Dian Fossey’s work in the field, along with Jane Goodall who studied chimpanzees, and Birutė Galdikas, who studied orangutans, not only document habits like food gathering or confrontation. All three extensively documented the interactions between the animals, and often the interaction between the researchers and the subjects. <br /><br />In 1959, American zoologist George Schaller carried out a yearlong pioneering study of the mountain gorilla. In the field at Mt Mikeno in Congo. Recognized by many as the world's preeminent field biologist, he studied and lived with the mountain gorillas of the Virunga Volcanoes along the northern edge of Rowanda. It wasn't until the publication of The Mountain Gorilla: Ecology and Behavior in 1963, that the general public was introduced to how profoundly intelligent and gentle gorillas really are. Until then most believed they were considered not only dangerous when provoked, but dangerous all of the time in interactions with all species.<br /><br />Shaller and Fossey were not the only field researchers to admire (and to provide valid, important information), but they are excellent resources for understanding the emotional side to gorillas. These creatures have individual personalities and rich social lives. Gorillas communicate through at least 22 distinct sounds, and a variety of other ways, including facial expressions, sounds, postures and gestures. They communicate feelings from playful laughter to frightened screams. They even belches in contented bliss after a particularly good meal.<br /><br />In gorilla families, there is a distinct pair of parents and up to about 28 other individuals of both sexes. Like humans, they show loyalty, compassion, and protection of those who are younger or injured or in some other way not fully functional at an healthy adult level. Also like humans, gorillas often greet each other by touching their noses together. They are also known to give a reassuring embrace. Their reaction to challenge from other adults is also similar to human, although more guttural. It's not unusual for a dominant male gorilla to fight to the death to protect his family, but it is also common for the dominant male to kill the children in his family to get the attention and reproductive needs met.<br /><br />We are most familiar with human emotion, of course. This is largely because we have them, and we can be empathetic with others of our species. While we usually don't kill our children out of jealousy, we do often have the emotion behind it. We also easily see those among us that have personality "flaws" like addiction or psychosis. Similarities between the emotional development of the bonobos and that of human children suggest that great apes regulate their emotions in a human-like way. Research by Zanna Clay, PhD, and Frans de Waal, PhD, showed that bonobos recovered quickly and easily from their own emotional upheavals. Clay notes that bonobos more often gave body comfort (kissing, embracing, touching) to those in distress. They show hints at emotion regulation, such as the ability to temper strong emotions and avoid over-arousal. In some cases, they do this better than humans.<br /><br />If we accept that Sasquatch is a composition of the evolution of apes and humans, it follows that Sasquatch, like Daryl, would have these emotions. Field research has shown that they are definitely curious. Reports of the animal visiting campsites and going through the items there, as well as reports of them standing in the distance or some sheltered space and observing human researchers are common. Humans have a fascination with the divide between their species and animals, so it follows that bigfoot would be equally fascinated with the similarities and differences between their species and humans. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">No documentation exists of how Sasquatch feels about us, or even about others of the same species. It is logical to assume they have families, with times that are both loving and challenging. All animals show fear in some way. But what about the more complicated emotions like grief and a sense of humor? Dr Gary Stanley's work with Koko (the gorilla who could communicate with American Sign Language) has given us insight. Koko's trainer and long-term companion, Penny Patterson, thought Koko signed in novel ways and showed complex emotions. Patterson documented that when a cat that Koko loved was killed in an accident, Koko signed: “Cat, cry, have-sorry, Koko-love.” Linguists and experts in sign languages disagreed with some of Patterson's conclusions. Sign language has complex grammars, like spoken tongues in expressiveness. Koko’s ability fell short of a fluent human signer, and Ms Patterson was Koko's interpreter. This invited the question of how much she was inferring what Koko “must have meant”.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Despite the disagreements between researchers, it is abundantly clear that gorillas and humans both have extensive emotional capacity. It follows, then, that sasquatch would have this as well. In fiction, like "Harry and the Hendersons" and the more recent " Missing Link" it is clear how much the missing "stars" connect and express feelings. In the similar "Smallfoot" offering, the roles are reversed. The sasquatch in that film sees humans as mythical creatures in the yetis’ imaginations. Across the board, the "beasts" are shown to have not only empathy, but also the ability to feel lonely. This may not be too far from reality. Given the relatively small number of living sasquatch, it is reasonable to imagine feelings of loneliness, and even fear that the loneliness will not end. Perhaps if we consider this as we do our fieldwork, it will bring us closer not only to answers, but also to a connection with the beast.</span><br />

I was given a pamphlet and told to self isolate for 14 days, simply because I had been in the United States. This is common among all of our countries, and it does affect this study.<br />
<br />
I would suggest that all research be done at home, online for now. There are volumes of work on unusual animals and this is an opportunity to learn about them. It's also a great time to learn basics like biology, climatology and all the other "ologies" that affect the living world. Many universities offer online learning, and it's wonderful even if you don't get the credit or the degree. Doing it online keeps you safe from this virus.<br />
<br />
Stay out of the field. We don't know if this bug will spread to the animals around us. Additionally, one should never go into the field alone and right now isn't the time to hang out with others.<br />
<br />
We are always asking others to take our study seriously. We want to be respected as researchers. Let's take this latest challenge seriously as well. You may feel great, not know anyone exposed, and find it difficult to understand what the big deal is.<br />
<br />
I assure you, it's a big deal. It's probably the biggest deal of your adult life.<br />
<br />
What it isn't, however, is something to panic over. We've weathered, MERS, SARS, H1N1, the AIDS epidemic, and more. We will weather this as well. The way to do that is to be kind, be patient, and to help others, even if they are strangers.<br />
<br />
Help others. Stay away from rampant, unsupported rumours. Don't let social media panic take over.<br /><br />Be well, physically and mentally.<br />
<br />
Just do it. Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1641594120121818884.post-53173869867224402772020-02-03T16:03:00.000-08:002020-02-03T16:03:19.474-08:00Oh Okopogo
<br />
Is it not enough that the Okanagan Valley has
Sasquatch? Apparently not. Lake Okanagan has it’s own “monster” that the
locals (and Cryptozoologists) call Ogopogo and the first nations call Naitaka,
or “spirit of the lake.” Ogopogo has
been allegedly seen by Aboriginal people since the 19th century.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Okanagan valley in British Columbia, Canada, and its strange
alleged inhabitant has been witnessed many times over the past couple hundred
years.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Blake Neudorf shared his strange footage on YouTube earlier
this month. It was taken nearly two years ago in Kelowna, BC, on the eastern
shore of Okanagan Lake. He and his father had been fishing on a dock there,
when they saw something in the water. “Something massive,” as Neudorf puts it
in the video’s description.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“It was huge,” he writes, “I would say at least 60 feet
long….you could visually see it rolling in the water.”</blockquote>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Neudorf and his father tried to chase after it in their truck,
but they never saw it again. Was it Ogopogo?<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
There have been other filmed sightings, as well. One
happened in 1968, which reportedly was followed up with a computer analysis
that determined the sighting was indeed of a “solid, three-dimensional object.”
The television show Is It Real? in 2005 found that, while it was likely an
animal, its size was possibly “overestimated.” In 1854, settler John MacDougall was swimming his team of
horses across the lake. N’ha-a-itk pulled the team down and he realized that
his canoe, which was tied to the horses was being pulled down as well. He cut
the poor animals loose, and narrowly escaped with his life.<br />

Northwest Territories. It is nearly untouched. The area has been designated a UNESCO Heritage Site, Meeting their criteria for promoting international collaboration in education, sciences, and culture in order to "increase universal respect for justice, the rule of law, and human rights". UNESCO is part of the United Nations.<br />
<br />
Because it is remote and almost untouched, there are many stories of strange phenomena. One areas is known as “The Valley of Headless Men.” Many people have disappeared here, then turned up without a head.<br />

Indigenous Dene tribes, Also known as the Athapaskan peoples, have inhabited the region for over 30,000 years, with one language and sustained by the land. Nahanni means “The People Over There,” and is thought to reference a tribe of mountain dwelling people known as the Naha, who mysteriously vanished. It is likewise told that about 44 people had vanished in the valley by 1969.<br />
<br />
Other phenomena have been reported from here as well. Mysterious lights and UFOs have long been sighted in the valley, as well as other unusual aerial phenomena.<br />
<br />
The area is also known for its cryptids, as it is believed by some to hold a remnant population of a type of bear-like carnivore called the bear dog, or Amphicyonidae, which was thought to have gone extinct in the Pleistocene epoch.<br />
<br />
In addition to this strangeness, an ice cave called Grotte Valerie hosts ancient skeletons of over 100 sheep were found, apparently having starved to death around 2,500 BC. The find has earned the cave the nickname of “The Gallery of Lost Sheep.”<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidyncaDgDf8ML2_SWmWLo8UMb4RD_fMBBRph8a1UhVbRmJvvFLfhrfY-QqfvNnTukY4xThyZWVDkywBpcpz6j9AHwibRBWgxOh6-42GE8vaGpGD4NWAT1aPvvCmM64Y_SiPOKEkBi85EUg/s1600/1252941.webp" imageanchor="1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; clear: right; color: #0066cc; float: right; font-family: Times New Roman; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; orphans: 2; text-align: center; text-decoration: underline; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidyncaDgDf8ML2_SWmWLo8UMb4RD_fMBBRph8a1UhVbRmJvvFLfhrfY-QqfvNnTukY4xThyZWVDkywBpcpz6j9AHwibRBWgxOh6-42GE8vaGpGD4NWAT1aPvvCmM64Y_SiPOKEkBi85EUg/s1600/1252941.webp" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidyncaDgDf8ML2_SWmWLo8UMb4RD_fMBBRph8a1UhVbRmJvvFLfhrfY-QqfvNnTukY4xThyZWVDkywBpcpz6j9AHwibRBWgxOh6-42GE8vaGpGD4NWAT1aPvvCmM64Y_SiPOKEkBi85EUg/s320/1252941.webp" width="320" /><br />

The native people of the region have always believed that some evil, supernatural force is to be blamed for the tragedies. Some think that the deaths were the result of the ghosts of the mountain Naha warriors, risen from the dead to drive away the white man as they were known for beheadings. Some even suggest a secret entrance to the Hollow Earth somewhere in this valley, or that it is a "vortex" or “thin spot” in the veil that separates different dimensions.<br />
<br />
Skeptical theories point to the attacks being carried out by hostile native tribes or rivalries between miners scrambling to find the mythical stores of unfound gold. Disappearances could be the result of any number of dangers to be found in the wilderness. The area is a place of extreme cold, with unexplored caves, gullies, jagged rocks, and grizzly bears.<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Dee McCullay is an Ontario resident who makes documentaries, primarily about UFO's and Bigfoot. He dabbles in other genres, both fiction and nonfiction, but this Thunder Bay area filmmaker has been collecting stories of our hairy friend for some time.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">In 2017 he released Sasquatch on Lake Superior, a short documentary about the Bigfoot sighting around the lake. He followed that in 2018 with Sasquatch on Lake Superior II. McCullay says he heard from many individuals with sighting reports, but only five were willing to be on camera.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Thunder Bay, Ontario is not generally known as a hotbed for Sasquatch activity. Generally, Canadians think of it as something unique to BC, especially near the coast. Reports have come in, however from every province and territory.</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Along with witness reports, McCullay integrates legend and historical fact into these two videos. In this second particularly, at about three minutes in is a story of the kidnapping of a young girl and subsequent visits from the hairy man. Supposedly he killed one resident of the associated encampment, and the rest, save a merchant, fled across Lake Helen to the eastern shore.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Gino Meekis, a hunter who lives near Sioux Lookout in Northern Ontario, recorded a video on his phone on Oct. 3 while he was out hunting grouse with his wife and grandson. They were hunting about 45 kilometres away from the town. Sioux Lookout is in northwestern Ontario, about halfway between Thunder Bay, and Winnipeg, Manitoba.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The area would certainly be prime real estate for the creature. With a population of about 5600, it covers just over 530 square kilometers. About a third of the area is water, and the other unpopulated surroundings are forest and the rugged Canadian Shield. Over 5,000 years ago the land was Ojibway territory and the name comes from the native use as a vantage point where guards could see canoes approaching. The Sioux lived in the Western Plains and legend has it that the Ojibway endured many years of surprise attacks by the Sioux when they came to trade. Eventually, the Ojibway ambushed the Sioux at a peak of land near Pelican Lake. And the name "Sioux Lookout" was born. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">A more populous wolf is the Gray Wolf. With about 9600 in Ontario and 50-60,000 in Canada, they are not considered at risk. Gray Wolves share some Eastern Wolf DNA as well. They can weigh up to 890kg and could be black, white, or grey.</span></div>

They whimper, bark, howl, and yip, but it's the howling that most people hear. Wolves have excellent hearing and can hear sounds as much as 10km away in forested areas and further in the open tundra. They howl to bring help to other wolves, warn of their presence, and when in pain. Wolves have been known to respond to human imitations, even from 4 km away.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Like the Loch Ness Monster, BC has it's own freaky fish; or monster; or hoax.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Documented sightings to back at least to 1873. The first recorded sighting (by a Caucasian) was by , B.C. pioneer and author, <span style="background-color: white; color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">Mrs. Susan Allison. Her ranch was located near what is now known as Quail's Gate Winery in West Kelowna, BC. She described</span> seeing a snake-like creature. Native persons have reported something similar they call, N’ha-a-itk, the "water demon".</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One of the more recent reports came in to ogopogoquest.com. The date of the sighting is June, 2017. It took place on Lake Okanagan.</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My wife, son & I were on the boat around 1:30 in the afternoon heading back to the Penticton marina (South). My son was driving as I was watching for stuff in the water. As we were heading South I told him to watch out for the Sea Doo ahead as he was jumping around and making big waves. My son asked what side should we pass him on. I told him to wait until we got closer as he may change directions. When we started to get closer 300ft away we all noticed there was no jet ski there but this object that had three perfect symmetrical waves coming off of it. My wife said slow down as she thought it was a kayaker. We slowed down and approached the area and told my wife and son to grab their phones and start taking a video. Now this is the weird part not one of us had our phones. That never happens. So anyways the object that was making the waves disappears, but the waves were huge, bigger than the wake my 25ft boat was making. They were these perfect three waves rolling away to the West, not the east. There were no boats in the area either and a super com day. So we are not sure what we saw but the size had to huge as we thought it was a jet ski jumping around. The picture is so vivid in our minds.</span></blockquote>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Ogopogo's head has been described as being horse or goat-like. It is reported to be able to move with astounding speed or in calm weather apparently feeding on either fish or aquatic weeds. Some reported seeing fins or feet on the creature. </span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The name Ogopogo stuck and the original Native name was replaced by this anglicized version.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Possibly the most recent sighting dates to September 2019. A woman identified only as "Susan C." reported that she was kayaking on Okanagan Lake towards James Grant Island. No boats were around and the lake was very smooth. She and her friend both report seeing a long wave and felt a bump under her kayak. Their husbands reportedly saw the event from the lake shore. Her husband described it as, "a funny wave moving down the lake almost something large just below the surface." The witnesses provided this photo to ogopogoquest.com:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Naturally, more sightings occur in the summer months since far more people are on the lake during the season. UBC-Okanagan sociology professor Chris Schneider does not "believe in" Ogopogo and says emotion overpowers logic. “By the very virtue of them not understanding it, it makes them want to try to understand it even more,” Schneider said in the Global interview.</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">British Columbia is known to be a little...odd. Generally, it has little to do with anything para-, super-, whatever-normal. One thing most found odd was that killing a Sasquatch, said to be plentiful in the province, is illegal. This law made researchers and believers quite happy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: black;">In BC, there are some outdated laws, and some that are now, thankfully, gone. In Vancouver you couldn't sell a stove on a Wednesday. <span style="background-color: white;">I<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; display: inline !important; float: none; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">n Esquimalt snowball throwing within city limits was prohibited.</span></span><br /><br />Other unusual laws reportedly prevail. It's illegal to own more than 4 pet rats at a time in Port Coquitlam, for instance. You also have to keep your cows off the street. In Oak Bay you could be fined $100 if you parrot talks to loud. Be careful too; you can be fined if your avian friend gets loose and flies into someone else's home. In Victoria, street entertainers aren't allowed to give kids balloon animals. It seems BC has a thing about animals and pets.</span></span><br />

He also sought a government statement that “Sasquatch is a hominoid or primate (Giganto Horridus Hominoid and/or Gigantopithecus) type of species, also known as a bigfoot, and is an indigenous mammal living within British Columbia” . If he won, this would be a groundbreaker for serious researchers.</span></span></span><br />

Justice Ball said courts should not be a body that decides “alleged scientific facts which are not universally accepted as true”... “The facts pleaded by the plaintiff disclose no infringement of any legal rights. Mr. Standing lost his case. He had refused to disclose specific locations where Sasquatch had been sighted, claiming it would endanger the species. It is suspected that this was an attempt to get the court to legitimize the study of the creature, basically claiming they exist.</span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Recently, in Sturgis, Saskatchewan, they held an archery competition. After a hearty pancake breakfast, archers had the opportunity to walk two courses of about 2km each. Twenty 3-D targets, were set up in realistic natural settings. These included bear, turkey, wild boars, panther, cougars, elk, deer, moose, antelope, buffalo, dinosaurs, an alligator. and this year, a life sized 3-D Bigfoot. After first thoughts of the elusive hairy best being just as rare in that area as alligators and dinosaurs, it felt prudent to research to confirm or disprove the scarcity theory.<br /><br />In 1895, a rancher named Jack Shewfelt moved his operation to the elbow of the river in what was then known as the Assiniboine Territory. The discover of arrowheads and other evidence proves that the present site had long been a place of nomadic Indian tribes. In 1901 Owen Carragher bought Shewfelt's buildings and became the earliest settler. In 1902 townships 33 and 34 were surveyed and this brought an influx of homesteaders. The years 1904-1906 saw many homesteaders from the United States, Ontario, the Maritimes, England, Sweden, Poland and the Ukraine. Soon, a railway line from Swan River, Manitoba to Pelly, Saskatchewan and in 1911, it reached Sturgis and continued to Preeceville (about 115kilometers) . In 1914, the line was expanded from Canora to Sturgis.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAtxe7hZDMIzrtKRG8TgpZJhrnhR_6ZtysY1ogKXeRkQI0x9jjSvPbpVDtInl8Ex0aMA8B-I4djJSvblfdkTYA1S8pcDjmOewYqBEol99F_quyHhLeNSezG146PNEuCjoca4O1FrHSXU09/s1600/Sasquatch-Quarter.png" imageanchor="1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; clear: right; color: #0066cc; float: right; font-family: Georgia, &quot; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; orphans: 2; text-align: center; text-decoration: underline; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><img border="0" data-original-height="544" data-original-width="550" height="197" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAtxe7hZDMIzrtKRG8TgpZJhrnhR_6ZtysY1ogKXeRkQI0x9jjSvPbpVDtInl8Ex0aMA8B-I4djJSvblfdkTYA1S8pcDjmOewYqBEol99F_quyHhLeNSezG146PNEuCjoca4O1FrHSXU09/s200/Sasquatch-Quarter.png" style="cursor: move;" width="200" /></a><br />Fred C. Brooks moved his general store from Crystal Lake to the Sturgis area and became the first Postmaster. He gave it the name Sturgis Post Office, after his hometown of Sturgis, South Dakota. There seems to be some evidence that the town was at one time known as Stanhope. Sturgis was incorporated as a village in 1912. Several of its residents lived to be over 100 years old.<br /><br />Currently, there are about 650 residents. Sturgis occupies a total land area of about 3.5 square kilometers and has a median resident age of 50. It's home to five churches. You could buy a two bedroom house there for under $100,00 (which currently translates to about $67,000 US Dollars).<br /><br />Reports of Sasquatch in the area come from experiences in the 60s and in the 80s. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAtxe7hZDMIzrtKRG8TgpZJhrnhR_6ZtysY1ogKXeRkQI0x9jjSvPbpVDtInl8Ex0aMA8B-I4djJSvblfdkTYA1S8pcDjmOewYqBEol99F_quyHhLeNSezG146PNEuCjoca4O1FrHSXU09/s1600/Sasquatch-Quarter.png" imageanchor="1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; clear: right; color: #0066cc; float: right; font-family: Georgia, &quot; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; orphans: 2; text-align: center; text-decoration: underline; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><br /></a><div>
A young woman was playing in a field, where there an abandoned shack in the distance. When she looked up, what she says was Bigfoot was laying in the grass. It was startled and got up and walked away. Many years later, her daughter also spotted the hairy guy in a park near the same area. Another local claims to have a video of a Sasquatch crossing a small river or creek, and climbing up the riverbank.</div>
<br />This area is considered to be southern Saskatchewan. There are some hills and valleys, but is mostly open field with limited wooded areas. It surely isn't prime Sasquatch habitat, from what we conjecture his needs would be. It is sparsely populated, but so is northern Saskatchewan where there is considerably more more tree cover. There are, however, many lakes, and the wilderness of the Porcupine Forest, just to the north of town, offers big game trophy hunting and fishing opportunities.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

There may be a good reason to look at this area as Sasquatch populated. Much more fieldwork needs to be done there. If you don't find a 'Squatch, at least you can have a look at the Cowboy and the Park Patrol roadside attractions. They are just as odd. And no, the province name does not in any way related to the term Sasquatch. But they do have them.</div>

Sometimes none of them are any good.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBj4ywukNTOjO6rG8_Ue5ze9ixOqMO4bIHzedgCZ-KjeRKI0d75wE9kcjx_NV0K9Gl6nCyrmFH5w9hyomqhoThLl4cKEPPyJRb2odQ-HkScNWflBC4RckrlcxodvuMOt-f7hkzTuaP5J2I/s1600/star.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="342" data-original-width="796" height="137" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBj4ywukNTOjO6rG8_Ue5ze9ixOqMO4bIHzedgCZ-KjeRKI0d75wE9kcjx_NV0K9Gl6nCyrmFH5w9hyomqhoThLl4cKEPPyJRb2odQ-HkScNWflBC4RckrlcxodvuMOt-f7hkzTuaP5J2I/s320/star.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">One of the first things that happens is you will be asked to be the public face of, in this case, Cryptozoology. There will be offers to blog, to do podcasts, to have a website and all of these things are wonderful if you are not planning to do research. Let's face it, if you're sitting in the woods watching for Sasquatch you can't exactly be giving an interview on the radio. Immediately you have to ask yourself the pros and cons. On the Pro side, you'll get exposure, people who will listen to your theories, and hopefully respect and those things can lead to funding sometimes. On the Con side. the general public will challenge you on every turn to provide proof and other supports to your theory. If you are also doing television, someone is going to complain about how you look. It really takes a lot of effort to rise above all those human reactions and get on with doing the good work.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">That's the second thing; you'll have lots more work. Exposure of any kind increases workload exponentially. You now have to be aware, all of the time, of any current cryptological events, all species, and even potential breeding patters for not only currently known animals, but also those that are mythological or as yet undocumented. Pros? You will be forced to do more research which can only lead to good things. You may also be asked to do paid appearances and any time money crosses your palm it's a good thing. The down side of that though is that you have to learn new rules about taxes, entertainment law, and copyright. When you sign on to do a tv show you generally lose any right to the end product. This sometimes means they can edit to their hearts content and you don't get a say. A good editor can craft a "statement" out of words you have said that might not even be related, and that statement could be completely incorrect. Suddenly your "exposure" is doing more harm than good.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Finally, the other thing that happens is that essentially, nothing changes. You will likely get your fifteen minutes of fame many times over, but at what cost? Before signing on to reality television, think it through. The pay is terrible (if they offer any at all), you have no rights, and you're getting a little burnt out. That sounds like how you started this journey. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The moral of this story is, before you take on fame and public exposure, be absolutely certain of who you are. Learn when to say no. Budget your time. Find a work/life balance. Always keep in mind why you are a Cryptozoologist to begin with-your love of researching the unknown.</span><br />

In the case of thermal imaging, absolutely. While "night vision" and other heat dependent electronics may not work for ghost hunting, they are essential for cryptozoology.<br />

Thermal imaging is the product of studies involving Thermography. Infrared thermography (IRT), thermal imaging, and thermal video are all examples of infrared imaging science. Infrared radiation is emitted by anything with a temperature above absolute zero. Absolute zero occurs at a temperature of 0 degrees Kelvin, or -273.15 degrees Celsius, or at -460 degrees Fahrenheit. At that temperature there is no heat and movement, so virtually every living thing should be detectable with this technology. Typically, cameras detect radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum and produce images of that radiation, called thermograms
Thermography makes it possible to see one's environment with or without visible illumination. The amount of radiation emitted by an object increases with temperature, and each temperature shows up on thermograms as a different color. Humans and other warm-blooded animals become easily visible by day or night because they are warmer than their surroundings. With more specific equipment, physiological changes in human beings and other warm-blooded animals can also be monitored. Thermography is used for clinical diagnostics, allergy testing, veterinary medicine and mammography. It is also used to detect illness at airports and other ports of entry and in firefighting to see through smoke, find people and locate hot spots. Maintenance people use thermography to locate overheating joints and sections of power lines so they can be repaired before a catastrophic failure. Construction workers can see thermal signatures that indicate heat leak and improve insulation.
<br />
<br />
The equipment required is a camera and a screen. It can be done with still photography or live scenarios. It's important for fieldwork to also include the ability to record and save the collected data. This is not always built in.
The appearance and operation of a modern thermographic camera is often similar to a camcorder.
CCD and CMOS sensors mostly work in the visible light wavelength range. By utilizing the infrared spectrum called near-infrared (NIR or "trailing"), and by using an off-the-shelf CCTV camera, it is possible under certain circumstances to obtain true thermal images of objects with temperatures at about 280 °C (536 °F) or higher with good clarity and contrast.
Specialized thermal imaging cameras use focal plane arrays (FPAs). They respond to longer wavelengths like InSb, InGaAs, HgCdTe and QWIP FPA. The newest technologies use lower cost, uncooled microbolometers as FPA sensors but the resolution is much lower. Quality of resolution increases with the more expensive models but even the lowest cost ones are more expensive than traditional cameras. Higher-end models are often export-restricted due to the military uses for this technology. Some require cryogenic cooling to be functional.

Thermograms are visual displays of the amount of infrared energy emitted, transmitted, and reflected by an object. There are multiple sources, and it is difficult to get an accurate temperature of an object using this method. The camera uses a thermal imaging camera is capable of performing algorithms to interpret that data and build an image. Even with good detail, the image only shows the viewer an approximation of the temperature. It uses multiple sources of data based values that compare the areas surrounding the object to determine that value rather than detecting the actual temperature.
If the object is radiating at a higher temperature than its surroundings, power transfer will be taking place. Power will be radiating from warm to cold following the principle stated in the second law of thermodynamics. So if there is a cool area in the thermogram, that object will be absorbing the radiation emitted by the warm object. The Second Law of Thermodynamics, about the quality of energy, states that as energy is transferred or transformed, more and more of it is wasted. This Law also stated that there is a natural tendency of any isolated system to degenerate and become more disordered.
The ability of objects to emit is called emissivity. To absorb radiation is called absorptivity. In the outdoors, cooling from wind may also need to be considered when trying to get an accurate temperature reading. The camera is only able to see electromagnetic radiation that is impossible to see with a human eye, so it builds a picture in the viewer. One slight drawback is that the camera will change the temperature of the object being viewed. <br />
<br />
Fortunately, while this is something to be considered in health diagnosis, it should not affect hunting for Fortean animals. We just don't need that level of sophistication. For an IR film to work thermographically, it must be over 250 °C (482 °F) or be reflecting infrared radiation from something that is at least that hot. Night vision infrared devices image just beyond the visual spectrum, and can see emitted or reflected near-infrared in complete darkness, but are not usually used for thermography due to the high temperature requirements. They are instead used with active near-IR sources. "Starlight-type" night vision devices generally only magnify ambient light. Both Starlight technology and digital night vision amplify whatever available light there is, while thermal-imaging (infrared) devices look at heat. Starlight technology is what most people think of when they talk about night vision. It does not work in complete darkness.Most of these devices also come with a built-in infrared (IR) illuminator that emits a beam of near-infrared light, invisible to our eyes, to illuminate the scene enough to be <br />

detectable. This is how "trail cams" work, and while you can see good images, you can't see their heat. This is a reasonably priced option for most cryptozoology fieldwork, but sometimes the IR needs to be more specific.
Consider the Sasquatch. Night vision equipment will detect the outline and presence of the animal, but only if it is fairly close; close enough to emit at least a little visible light. Moonlight usually provides enough light. In near complete darkness, as in a dense brush or moonless night, using only a night vision camera may not be effective. Thermal imaging, however, can measure the level of heat the animal emits. Further, it may also highlight the distribution of this heat which in turn makes it better for establishing size, species, and physiological elements. If Sasquatch is closely related to humans then the "hot spots" on his body will be comparable to the hot spots on normal humans. It will detect the position of various parts of the body, immediately discerning if it is upright and generally where the heart is. For those who propose that Sasquatch (or Mothman or hosts of others) are alien in nature, this is crucial debunking or supporting. Alien beings probably won't have their hot spots in the same locations and patterns that we do.<br />
<br />
Night vision devices come in three accepted generations of design. Components and technology remain mostly constant and the levels measures can be thought of as sophistication levels. Different design generations significantly differ in image quality, cost and capability. Newer technology, often called "Generation 4". Generation II, III and IV devices use a microchannel plate for amplification. Generation IV is more adaptable to changing light conditions. It also is a better ion barrier which decreases the number of electrons that are rejected by the others, resulting in less image noise. The disadvantage is the overall decrease in tube life but this is largely negated by the low number that reach 15000 h of operation before replacement.<br />

One of the major misconceptions about night vision devices is that they are like a binocular. Instead of focusing the light into the eye or similar lens, the light is converted to electrons that are then amplified and projected onto a screen that converts them back into a visible light image that you look at through the eyepiece or saved media. Photons from a dimly lit source enter the lens and strike the photocathode. The photocathode releases electrons, which are accelerated to the higher-voltage microchannel plate. Each causes multiple electrons to be released from the microchannel plate, which are drawn to the higher-voltage phosphor screen. Electrons that strike the phosphor screen cause the phosphor to produce photons of light view-able through the eyepiece lenses.
The United States Air Force experimented with panoramic night-vision goggles (PNVGs) that double the user's field of view to around 95°. They are in service with A-10 Thunderbolt II, MC-130 Combat Talon and AC-130U Spooky aircrew, and are also popular with special forces. Ceramic Optical Ruggedized Engine (CORE), produces a higher-performance Gen 1 tubes by using a ceramic plate. Edge distortion is improved, photo sensitivity is increased, and the resolution is improved. This technology from about 2012 is starting to be used in contact lenses as well.<br />

Some countries regulate possession and or use of night-vision <br />

devices. Hungary and other European Union members strictly regulate the possession and use of these items. German law forbids such devices being mounted on firearms. Belgium has a similar law, but there even possession is considered illegal.In Iceland, the use of night-vision devices for hunting is prohibited, but are not otherwise restricted. New Zealand requires restricted access to the equipment and of exporting it, but not prohibited on the ownership or use of night-vision equipment for shooting non-indigenous game animals. In the US, thirteen states prohibit the use of night vision equipment for hunting, with 17 more have additional restrictions. In California, it is a misdemeanor to possess a device "designed for or adaptable to use on a firearm." Similarly, Minnesota law says as of 2014, "A person may not possess night vision or thermal imaging equipment while taking wild animals or while having in possession [an uncased and loaded weapon] that could be used to take wild animals." There is an exception for law-enforcement and military use of course. In those restricted states, you could probably argue lack of intent if you aren't carrying a weapon, but realistically we should be carrying a weapon of some kind into the woods.<br />
<br />
The original purpose of night vision was to locate enemy targets. It is still used by the military for that purpose, as well as for navigation, surveillance and targeting. Police and security often use both thermal-imaging and image-enhancement technology, particularly for surveillance.
Some researchers claim that the use of IR or night vision tends to deter Bigfoot activity. They claim that they aware of it.
Primates are unique among in that they are able to see the red end of the light spectrum. Most all other mammals cannot see red, and no known mammal with night vision can see infrared light.<br />

Some who work in the field assume trail cameras are omitting IR<br />

light and that this is what wards off the beasts. In reality,they only emit IR when they take a picture or are video taping. The author of "The Bigfoot Field Journal" blog states he adapted a night vision rifle scope to fit to an HD Video recorder. Aside from the mental image of a guy in a ghillie suit with a role of duct tape, this is problematic in several ways. First, the scope is quite narrow so you are limited in your available range. Second, he uses the camera zoom function hoping to get a better enhancement. Most camera zooms don't really increase quality, they just make a bigger picture. This level of scope also has limited contrast. The author then enhances and stabilizes the image video, which further changes it. From a forensic standpoint, this renders anything captured completely unusable.

The Bigfoot Field Research Organization (BFRO) claims they are "the only scientific research organization exploring the bigfoot/sasquatch mystery." This is a bit of an insult to those in the field who actually are using science (and common sense) to research. They recommend using the CamTrakker system which is probably a standard night vision camera. No specs are available on their website or on the recommended link, and this cam is not available on Amazon. One reseller has it listed on ebay at $25.00 . The presumed quality of this equipment is a far cry from anything significantly scientific. Matt Moneymaker recommends a FLIR 1. FLIR is generally not a bad brand, but the FLIR 1 is an accessory used on a cell phone. He claims it is a thermal imager, but as it does not operate well below -4C which is a problem in many presumed Bigfoot habitats. It may be acceptable with regard to clarity and density capture, but it only has a thermal resolution of 160 × 120; and only an hour of battery life. Clearly not a research oriented camera. Also, it uses MXS technology, which is image fusion/combining for output that appears with more clarity. For scientific research purposes, it isn't clear if the output is truly clean, raw data, not an automatic change via enhancement or fusion.
Thermal imagery cameras have come down considerably in price for consumers. As an add-on to your smart phone you can easily find something under $200. Brandon Hubbard, an architect, chose this year's best (2019) as the FLIR TG165. At about $350 it is also a good value, as it's cousin, the FLIR E60bx retails on Amazon for about $8700. Sometimes we have to compromise. Having a lesser quality camera at a do-able price is worth much more than one we don't have at all. Before purchase, please check to see if your local laws permit use, and that the sellers laws permit sale to your country.<br />
