So I’m bored at lunch, so I googled “Michigan cryptozoology”. One of the results was a Monster.com job search for cryptozoology jobs in Michigan. No idea why it came up with a random search for that, but I guess my dream of tracking Bigfoot is crushed before it started. Perhaps Florida has some jobs for finding skunk ape?

The Secret Saturdays captured all the cryptids, which killed the cryptozoology industry.

Darn it! Though That would explain the lack of sightings in my area. The most recent one was in the ‘70s, 3-4 miles from my house.

Just gonna leave these here:
There is no such thing as bigfoot
At least, as far as an ape-like creature that has been hiding in wilderness goes. All the research and reality TV has yet to turn up a new ape species of any sort. All physical evidence has turned out to be known species or, in the case of the last link, a new species of bear.
Here’s a bigfoot that we know is real:

But that’s no fun, where’s your sense of adventure and wonder?
Though reality tv doesn’t count, since it’s more focused on ratings then anything else.
Around the world there are similar sightings. One eventually led to the discovery of The gorillas. The idea of the discovery of new species is exciting, especially the stories about them. Like the article said, “it’s the thrill of the chase”. :)

But the search for Bigfoot is going to be a foregone conclusion because it starts with a supposition that can’t be proven false and has no compelling evidence to show that it’s true.
My sense of wonder is sparked by the idea that I’m a small part of the great big universe. I can look to the sky and see thousands of blazing suns and know that some are actually no more. I can look out over the ocean and understand that it’s full of creatures that have developed into things that we land-dwellers could only imagine if we hadn’t actually found them.
Look at the difference between “wildlife census,” and “Cryptid research,” and you’ll realize that wildlife researchers are doing exactly what you’re talking about, and it’s full of writing papers.

Well, I gather it’s a safer job then pursuing the men in black. Or Mothman, I'd prefer not to pursue him either.
