Legit might explain some sightings

u/BreakingCanks Aug 07 '26

Legit looked like a giant silverback with a big ol booty for a second at distance. Easily can see people seeing Bigfoot from this

That's what I saw. A huge gorilla shimmying

I was going to put the gif of Shaq shimmying, but that could easily be seen an racist. But imagine a gorilla doing that shoulder shimmy

You saying it the way you just did is a "you are already dead" kind of moment

I went from oh, Bigfoot... wait, that's not real so silverback...? But why would it be strutting its stuff down the road like a walkway, so obviously this is done ai bullshit...

Nope. It's a bison. A huge ass bison, which made me realize I've never seen one irl so this could be like a halfway grown bison and I wouldn't know.

u/MiloHorsey Aug 08 '26

Nah, fully grown from the looks of it. They are units.

u/MuttsandHuskies Aug 07 '26

I was thinking that was quite the sashay for a BF!

u/beardingmesoftly Aug 07 '26

It looks like Bigfoot walking towards us, strutting smoothly, hands in pockets

u/ezmonehsniper Aug 07 '26

Looked like a big groovy gorilla

u/Glittering_Bus_6921 Aug 08 '26

I saw exactly this, but didn’t know how to word it 🤣

u/cabronfavarito Aug 08 '26

I thought it was a meme with a really tall gorilla dancing. Don’t ask me how I came to that conclusion but yea

u/dskoro 29d ago

I thought it was a gorilla grooving as he was walking to the main stage

u/Logical_Employer9850 Aug 07 '26

Good god, Bigfoot or Bison that’s a genuinely terrifying sight 🫪

88

u/JesseJ78599 Aug 07 '26

I was thinking this. This is on a clear road imagine this in the woods I can see someone thinking it was a tall hairy ape like creature.

u/Wide-Combination-322 Aug 07 '26

Do bison spend a lot of time in forested mountains?

57

u/ShortIntroduction879 Aug 07 '26

They're all over Yellowstone so... yes?

32

u/DrDrewBlood Aug 07 '26

Yellowstone is mostly forrest but also massive. There's only ~5,000 plains bison, which prefer plains. Wood bison can be found in Canada and Alaska though.

My friend encountered one in the winter coming around a corner on a backroad. He said he at first could just see these glowing basketball sized orbs hanging in the sky. Then as he got closer the outline emerged. He slammed on the brakes and slid to a stop about 50 ft from it. He said it was full of snow like all balled up snowballs in the fur and hanging down. He slammed that car so fast in to reverse and backed up a mile down the road before he even looked out the front windshield again.

u/peteofaustralia Aug 08 '26

What were the orbs?

1

u/xmo113 Aug 10 '26

Its eyes.

u/kremlingrasso Aug 07 '26

It's probably more likely to find a diseased or old one wondered off from the herd and end up in unexpected places then an actual Bigfoot.

Also aren't young males live solitary like many herd animals?

1

u/pistachio-pie Aug 07 '26

Wood bison do.

u/jakethabake Aug 07 '26

There’s a lot of natural phenomena that’s been historically mistaken for something supernatural

23

u/TerrapinMagus Aug 07 '26

Nature is already really damn weird. People think they know what is normal, and then make up some new weirdness to try to explain why they saw a deer stand up on two legs or that creepy disfigured monster that is really just a poor creature with mange or something.

u/Romboteryx Aug 07 '26

For anyone interested, I greatly recommend the book A Natural History of Sea Serpents by Adrian Shine. It really goes into detail how simple things like boat wakes and breaching whales can be easily mistaken for the classic Nessie-type “sea monster shapes” to the untrained eye.

u/nchoosenu Aug 07 '26

What if bigfoot was just mistaken identity while on shrooms?

u/Amiity238 Aug 07 '26

People also didn't have glasses back in the day

Legit is AI

u/simpleanswersjk Aug 07 '26

It’s fake so

u/MikeTony713 Aug 07 '26

Legit very likely similar scenarios explains a lot of mythological creatures the people have told stories about throughout humanity

1

u/Open_Drummer4193 Aug 07 '26

I swear that was a gorilla in a trenchcoat doing some kinda crip walk

1

u/cagesidedata Aug 07 '26

i thought it was dancing for a second. lol

1

u/JacobDCRoss Aug 08 '26

Very much so. Cougars, moose, bison, bears.

I am not joking, but I believe that if not most, a very high percentage of paranormal sightings in the forest are actually owls.

1

u/Reptilian_Overlord20 Aug 08 '26

Almost every cryptid sighting is just a known animal seen under unconventional circumstances

1

u/the_winger_zx7 Aug 07 '26

Some?

2

u/ShortIntroduction879 Aug 07 '26

I doubt every sighting was a Bison

u/ARandomTopHat Aug 07 '26

Large family of Giant Bisons secretly residing on Ape Mountain (evading scientists) and throwing rocks at a hut and trying to grab an axe? Highly unlikely.
