I am no zoologist but the reality is most newly discovered species' on a yearly basis are small creatures, insignificant and are usually confined to a small area. Conversely an inordinate number of 'large' animals that were thought to not exist, have been discovered in the ocean, which comprises a much larger area than dry land and offers many more opportunities for something to hide than on land, and much greater difficulty to locate. If you look at the posted dateline for species' discovered on land the two most significant were the mountain gorilla and the giant panda - and both of those were discovered over a 100 years ago. Therefore with the advances in travel and land covering ability since then, electronic surveillance devices and the general increase in number of people in the woods the probability of finding something the size of Bigfoot would have most likely already happened - but it hasn't. Couple that with the literally 1000's of sightings with virtually no plausible photo evidence (no - the Patterson footage is not) I am going to have to rest my case - until a body or living specimen is brought it.
