Is Bigfoot A Hybrid?

This Isn’t Looking Good!

A Mule is the offspring of a Male Donkey and a Female Horse

             Okay, we’re all trying to process in our minds everything that’s going on with Dr. Ketchum’s DNA project and sort it all out, but so many rumors are swirling that it’s hard to make sense of it.

            Last week, Dr. Igor Burtsev from the International Center of Hominology in Moscow, Russia released a statement attempting to confirm the existence of the creature known as Bigfoot/ Sasquatch. The doctor went on to explain that the creature is a hybrid product of a union between a male “unknown primate” and a female human “of unknown species.” And this hybridization is known to have taken place no more than 15,000 years ago.

            And not long after that, Dr. Melba Ketchum  released her statement basically approving Dr. Burtsev’s statement and findings.

            Then when Dr. Burtsev was asked why he came forward with the information, he made the statement that he did it because American science publications refused to publish Dr. Ketchum’s paper. He went on to say that we deserve to know the creatures really do exist and to know what exactly they are.

            We were all poised to be happy about one aspect of these findings, and that is in having it confirmed that the creature actually exists and we can stop wondering. But the nature of the DNA findings was curious at best. A hybridization between two species? It sounds interesting in theory, but the problem is that it’s not possible.

            That is,at least according to zoologists. It seems there is no way such a hybridization could occur between these two species and produce the fertile offspring needed to continue the line to our modern day sasquatch as we know him. Such a union, like crosses between horses and donkeys to produce mules, would produce sterile offspring that would have no hope of reproducing at all. In order to produce a strong, fertile genetic line, and to produce a type of human offspring, the two species’ involved would have to be basically the same species: human.

            So why would these the heads of these high profile projects release such information knowing the story has a big, gaping hole in it?

            And why do magazines in the US refuse to publish Dr. Ketchum’s findings? Is it because they know this story doesn’t hold water, or is there something deeper at work here?

            Only time will tell. And we’re still waiting for Dr. Ketchum’s DNA results to come through.

 But zoologists may weigh in to this debate before it’s all over. It will be interesting to hear what they have to say. ********DF

A Closer look at Mules -
A mule is the offspring of a male donkey and a female horse. Horses and donkeys are different species, with different numbers of chromosomes. Of the two F1 hybrids between these two species, a mule is easier to obtain than a hinny (the offspring of a male horse and a female donkey). There is no known instance of a male mule siring offspring.
Mules and hinnies have 63 chromosomes, a mixture of the horse's 64 and the donkey's 62. The different structure and number usually prevents the chromosomes from pairing up properly and creating successful embryos, rendering most mules infertile.
There are no recorded cases of fertile mule stallions. A few female mules have produced offspring when mated with a purebred horse or donkey. - Source: Wikipedia
