Professor May Be Closing in on Bigfoot
Sent to me by Craig W.
An Idaho State University biology professor is focusing his Bigfoot efforts in the Pocatello, Idaho area following persistent reports of the presence of Bigfoot and perhaps a whole tribe of similar hominids in the area. For the past 10 years, most of the sightings have occurred around Fort Hall, Idaho (population 900) and Chubbuck, Idaho (population 7,700), two towns located just north of Pocatello. For the past two years, Prof. Jeff Meldrum has been on a Bigfoot hunt, tracking footprints and looking for signs of the legendary hairy ape. “'My work is to shift the emphasis from tabloid stories to scientific inquiry,” Meldrum said. Although Meldrum says his obsession began in fifth grade after viewing a documentary film on Bigfoot, he wasn't a believer until he saw fresh tracks for himself outside of Walla Walla, Wash. a few years ago. “A lot of people have this misconception that it's this lone, wretched animal wandering the face of the earth,” he says. “We have examples of multiple animals – males, females and young.”
