Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,660 --> 00:00:03,976
Previously on expedition big foot...
2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,500
Our surveillance system registered a hit.
3
00:00:09,100 --> 00:00:10,836
I believe these creatures are breeding
4
00:00:10,860 --> 00:00:12,476
and possibly raising their young
5
00:00:12,500 --> 00:00:14,976
right here in northern California.
6
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:16,760
- Check that out.
- -You got a print there.
7
00:00:19,700 --> 00:00:21,636
Right there. Right there. Look at this.
8
00:00:21,660 --> 00:00:22,637
You see that?
9
00:00:22,661 --> 00:00:23,760
Bryce, Bryce.
10
00:00:25,660 --> 00:00:26,736
My god.
11
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:28,076
Holy crap!
12
00:00:28,100 --> 00:00:30,536
Something is giving
off the heat signature.
13
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,600
Look, look, look, look! It looks upright.
14
00:00:33,260 --> 00:00:34,506
Holy.
15
00:00:34,530 --> 00:00:36,736
The evidence that I've
picked up along the way...
16
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,076
That looked like something
walking down the hill.
17
00:00:39,100 --> 00:00:41,076
Everything is piecing together.
18
00:00:41,100 --> 00:00:42,676
Ok, so now that's weird.
19
00:00:42,700 --> 00:00:44,076
Something put this here.
20
00:00:44,100 --> 00:00:46,376
This is nesting territory,
21
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,976
and we are right
smack in the middle of it.
22
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,476
All this action is
converging into one place
23
00:00:52,500 --> 00:00:54,476
at the center of our hot zone.
24
00:00:54,500 --> 00:00:55,876
I'm getting a heat signature.
25
00:00:55,900 --> 00:00:59,636
All of our hard work has
culminated to this very moment.
26
00:00:59,660 --> 00:01:02,536
We started off this
search with 7,000 acres,
27
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,336
and we have honed it
down to one single mountain.
28
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,676
We are right at bigfoot's front step.
29
00:01:07,700 --> 00:01:10,000
We're closer than
we've ever been before.
30
00:01:19,260 --> 00:01:20,636
A powerful storm system
31
00:01:20,660 --> 00:01:22,536
is passing over northern California.
32
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,836
The storm, fueled by
an atmospheric river,
33
00:01:24,860 --> 00:01:28,736
could dump up to five
inches of rain in coastal areas.
34
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,136
And some snow in the mountain.
35
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:31,576
It looks like that storm is closing in.
36
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,336
- Yeah, it's big?
- Yeah.
37
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,336
Wind gusts can reach
speeds up to 60 mph
38
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,976
and up to 80 in areas of higher elevation.
39
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:39,877
Hey.
40
00:01:39,901 --> 00:01:41,576
- Hey, guys.
- Hey, Bryce.
41
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:42,437
How's it going?
42
00:01:42,461 --> 00:01:44,236
This is Kyle and Jordan.
43
00:01:44,260 --> 00:01:45,436
- Hey.
- Good to meet you.
44
00:01:45,460 --> 00:01:48,330
When I say we brought out
the big guns, I'm not kidding.
45
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:51,776
Nice.
46
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:52,777
That's amazing.
47
00:01:52,801 --> 00:01:54,736
Now that we've established
that this mountain
48
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,636
is these creatures' territory,
49
00:01:56,660 --> 00:01:59,176
we've brought in the most
incredible piece of tech
50
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,836
to help us pinpoint their exact location.
51
00:02:01,860 --> 00:02:03,536
So we're able to run algorithms.
52
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,276
To do this, the team will be using
53
00:02:05,300 --> 00:02:07,736
a surveillance array of
eight high powered optical
54
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,436
and thermal cameras
covering the mountainside,
55
00:02:10,460 --> 00:02:12,636
all driven by artificial intelligence
56
00:02:12,660 --> 00:02:16,136
that can recognize
upright, bipedal animals.
57
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:17,876
- Russ, you take one side.
- All right.
58
00:02:17,900 --> 00:02:19,136
And mireya, you take another.
59
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:20,007
All right. Thanks, man.
60
00:02:20,031 --> 00:02:21,476
I'll stay here with these guys
61
00:02:21,500 --> 00:02:24,176
and we'll watch you as
you move through the area.
62
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:25,976
If anything moves on that hillside,
63
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,036
he's gonna be able to see it,
64
00:02:27,060 --> 00:02:29,676
identify it, and direct
us directly in its path.
65
00:02:29,700 --> 00:02:32,130
This thing should work flawlessly.
66
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,230
There they are, right there.
67
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,136
- Mireya for Bryce.
- Yep.
68
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,976
- I'm in position.
- We see you right there.
69
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,076
- Hey, Bryce.
- Yep.
70
00:02:42,100 --> 00:02:43,836
- I'm in position.
- I got you, Russ.
71
00:02:43,860 --> 00:02:44,807
Excellent.
72
00:02:44,831 --> 00:02:46,636
Officials are urging residents
73
00:02:46,660 --> 00:02:48,336
to be ready for possible evacuations
74
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,076
in flood prone regions
as the storm system poses
75
00:02:51,100 --> 00:02:53,636
a significant threat to northern California.
76
00:02:53,660 --> 00:02:55,336
We will continue to provide updates
77
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:56,700
as the situation develops.
78
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:03,736
We've been watching
this side of the mountain
79
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,136
on our surveillance
array for a few hours now,
80
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,700
and unfortunately we
haven't gotten any hits.
81
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,036
There's a bunch of possibly...
82
00:03:13,060 --> 00:03:15,136
- What is that...
- Deer, maybe bear.
83
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,436
We've seen things on all fours,
84
00:03:17,460 --> 00:03:19,476
but our software algorithm is set to look
85
00:03:19,500 --> 00:03:23,076
for upright walking bipedal creatures,
86
00:03:23,100 --> 00:03:25,076
which we haven't seen yet.
87
00:03:25,100 --> 00:03:27,036
While Bryce is the eye in the sky
88
00:03:27,060 --> 00:03:28,276
watching the eight cameras
89
00:03:28,300 --> 00:03:30,736
of the surveillance
array, Russell and mireya
90
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,536
are searching different locations
91
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,136
and elevations on the mountain.
92
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,236
The team has a small window of time
93
00:03:36,260 --> 00:03:37,976
before storm conditions worsen,
94
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,036
which could limit the array's capabilities
95
00:03:40,060 --> 00:03:40,907
of detecting anything
96
00:03:40,931 --> 00:03:43,300
with the optical or thermal cameras.
97
00:03:44,260 --> 00:03:46,536
Mireya for Bryce.
98
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,676
Yeah. We see you on
the surveillance array.
99
00:03:48,700 --> 00:03:50,476
You can see me now in position?
100
00:03:50,500 --> 00:03:52,276
Yeah. Visibility is a little bit limited,
101
00:03:52,300 --> 00:03:54,336
but we definitely see you.
102
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,800
Great. Well, let me know what
you're seeing up on that array.
103
00:04:01,460 --> 00:04:02,407
We need to pay attention.
104
00:04:02,431 --> 00:04:04,191
There's a lot of trees
falling through here.
105
00:04:05,500 --> 00:04:07,476
And the sloughing off the soil.
106
00:04:07,500 --> 00:04:09,276
This is some steep, treacherous stuff.
107
00:04:09,300 --> 00:04:10,700
Let's just be watchful.
108
00:04:16,100 --> 00:04:17,576
Right now, with this weather,
109
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,436
things are getting a little bit sketchy.
110
00:04:19,460 --> 00:04:21,536
We've got all this rain
and snow coming down,
111
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,400
so the soil beneath
our feet is pretty tricky.
112
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,000
What's with all these branches here?
113
00:04:31,260 --> 00:04:32,736
There's Russ right there.
114
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,376
Russ for Bryce, Russ for Bryce.
115
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,736
- I hear you, Russ.
- Go for Bryce.
116
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,760
- You should be able to see me.
- Can you hear me?
117
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,936
Yeah, we do see you
on the surveillance array.
118
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,236
Looking good, buddy.
119
00:04:43,260 --> 00:04:46,476
Let me know if there's anything
I need to pay attention to.
120
00:04:46,500 --> 00:04:48,530
- Copy that. Stay safe.
- Thank you, Bryce.
121
00:04:55,460 --> 00:04:57,936
Hang on. Hang on. Hang
on up the hill a little bit.
122
00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:59,236
What the is that?
123
00:04:59,260 --> 00:05:00,336
We got a target here.
124
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:01,800
Came up from behind a tree.
125
00:05:03,860 --> 00:05:05,236
That is not mireya, is it?
126
00:05:05,260 --> 00:05:06,430
That is not mireya
127
00:05:07,100 --> 00:05:08,300
what the.
128
00:05:10,260 --> 00:05:11,336
Holy.
129
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:12,736
Hey, mireya, the eyes
130
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,636
acquired a target coming up to you.
131
00:05:14,660 --> 00:05:17,236
It's really close, I'd say about 200 yards
132
00:05:17,260 --> 00:05:19,430
to the south-west, and it looks big.
133
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:23,676
Are you seeing anything?
134
00:05:23,700 --> 00:05:25,076
I'm not seeing anything.
135
00:05:25,100 --> 00:05:27,076
I'm gonna keep going in
the south-west direction.
136
00:05:27,100 --> 00:05:29,800
Keep your eyes on it and let
me know if it changes direction.
137
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:31,600
All right, let's keep moving.
138
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:40,876
I'm seeing a lot of
139
00:05:40,900 --> 00:05:43,376
stuff in the soil, disturbances.
140
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,976
This whole area has
been pushed up a little bit.
141
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,336
As mireya heads
towards the heat signature
142
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:50,676
on the other side of the mountain,
143
00:05:50,700 --> 00:05:52,836
Russell searches his target area.
144
00:05:52,860 --> 00:05:55,836
A lot of stuff moving, right through here,
145
00:05:55,860 --> 00:05:58,230
it's almost like a little
hidden sidewalk here.
146
00:05:59,260 --> 00:06:03,430
Holy. I am getting
something coming up on Russ.
147
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:06,377
Are you seeing that?
148
00:06:06,401 --> 00:06:07,500
Yeah, it's big.
149
00:06:09,700 --> 00:06:11,400
- What the hell is that?
- It's fast.
150
00:06:12,860 --> 00:06:14,436
Hey, Russ, we see a target
151
00:06:14,460 --> 00:06:17,076
making its way towards
you, and it is moving, man.
152
00:06:17,100 --> 00:06:19,436
Are we looking downhill,
uphill or in front of me?
153
00:06:19,460 --> 00:06:21,976
In the direction of moving? Guide me.
154
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,536
It is to your east,
155
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,700
probably about 50 yards and moving in.
156
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,700
Got it.
157
00:06:29,660 --> 00:06:30,900
Copy that.
158
00:06:34,860 --> 00:06:36,900
Something's been
through here just recently.
159
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,230
Stop, stop, stop.
160
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,136
Are you... Can you smell that?
161
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:03,300
That's pretty strong.
162
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:08,600
Did you hear that?
163
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,600
Something broke branch
out here in front of us.
164
00:07:14,700 --> 00:07:16,076
Russ for Bryce.
165
00:07:16,100 --> 00:07:17,736
Russell. I got you loud and clear, man.
166
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,576
It just broke a stick out in front of me
167
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,636
less than 100 yards. How close am I?
168
00:07:21,660 --> 00:07:22,637
If you stay that course,
169
00:07:22,661 --> 00:07:24,230
you should be able to intercept.
170
00:07:24,660 --> 00:07:25,836
Copy that.
171
00:07:25,860 --> 00:07:27,100
Moving in.
172
00:07:38,260 --> 00:07:39,536
It's just incredibly hard right now
173
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,176
with this terrain and this weather.
174
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:42,436
Further up from Russell,
175
00:07:42,460 --> 00:07:43,976
mireya is descending the mountain
176
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,836
in pursuit of a large thermal image
177
00:07:45,860 --> 00:07:47,576
spotted on the surveillance array,
178
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,076
heading in her direction.
179
00:07:49,100 --> 00:07:50,900
It's like an obstacle course, isn't it?
180
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,476
Hey, Bryce, I'm trying to run down
181
00:07:53,500 --> 00:07:55,536
towards where you
saw that heat signature.
182
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:56,600
Gotcha, mireya.
183
00:07:57,660 --> 00:07:59,136
I got a target right here.
184
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:00,600
Yeah, we definitely got a target.
185
00:08:02,060 --> 00:08:03,376
Holy.
186
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,676
Hey, mireya, we're
picking up two targets,
187
00:08:05,700 --> 00:08:06,736
not just one.
188
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,076
Are you hearing or seeing anything?
189
00:08:09,100 --> 00:08:10,336
I'm not seeing anything.
190
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,036
We're losing that other signature
191
00:08:12,060 --> 00:08:13,676
between the trees and the fog,
192
00:08:13,700 --> 00:08:14,876
but if you just keep moving,
193
00:08:14,900 --> 00:08:16,976
you shouldn't be able to connect with it.
194
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,000
Roger. I am heading
towards them. Over and out.
195
00:08:24,660 --> 00:08:27,076
Well, I'm trying to see
if anything that's moving
196
00:08:27,100 --> 00:08:29,430
might be moving up in this direction.
197
00:08:31,100 --> 00:08:32,576
The problem is, all the elements
198
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,536
are really working against us right now.
199
00:08:34,560 --> 00:08:37,276
This is incredibly steep, it's slippery,
200
00:08:37,300 --> 00:08:39,836
and we can't really hear as
things move through the forest
201
00:08:39,860 --> 00:08:41,500
because of all the rain and the hail.
202
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:46,736
We're really starting
to lose them out here.
203
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,236
This is making it
impossible to see anything.
204
00:08:49,260 --> 00:08:51,476
Yeah, coming in really bad.
205
00:08:51,500 --> 00:08:53,836
The weather has been all over the place,
206
00:08:53,860 --> 00:08:56,536
and now we're getting
these waves of fog
207
00:08:56,560 --> 00:08:57,976
rolling through the mountains.
208
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,276
If it gets any thicker, this system
209
00:09:00,300 --> 00:09:02,176
won't be able to detect anything.
210
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,636
Hey, mireya, we just lost that signal.
211
00:09:04,660 --> 00:09:07,736
Bryce, I didn't see... but I'm not
212
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,636
you're not coming in.
213
00:09:10,660 --> 00:09:12,230
It just gets hairier.
214
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,160
Mireya, do you copy?
215
00:09:28,260 --> 00:09:29,260
Mireya, do you copy?
216
00:09:32,060 --> 00:09:33,700
Bryce for Russ. Do you copy?
217
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,360
Bryce, even the thermals
can't see anything.
218
00:09:39,430 --> 00:09:41,676
With so much snow and fog in the air,
219
00:09:41,700 --> 00:09:44,136
the surveillance ray
can't pick up on anything.
220
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:44,937
And I don't think this storm
221
00:09:44,961 --> 00:09:47,076
is going to break any time soon.
222
00:09:47,100 --> 00:09:48,376
But I do know that the a.I.
223
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,536
Detected multiple upright walking targets
224
00:09:50,560 --> 00:09:52,636
on that mountain with Russ and mireya.
225
00:09:52,660 --> 00:09:54,576
So I can either sit here blind
226
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,076
or I can head towards them
227
00:09:56,100 --> 00:09:58,536
in the hopes that my
comms will eventually work.
228
00:09:58,560 --> 00:10:00,976
Either way, I'll be closer
to Russ and mireya
229
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,136
and can help join in on the search.
230
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,130
All right, you guys keep watching this.
231
00:10:12,260 --> 00:10:14,336
Back on the south-West
Side of the mountain,
232
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,336
Russell continues to try and intercept
233
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,600
the heat signature that
Bryce spotted on the array.
234
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:36,130
Did you see this?
235
00:10:36,660 --> 00:10:37,800
Look at that.
236
00:10:42,100 --> 00:10:43,200
We have a footprint.
237
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:46,730
Holy crap.
238
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,130
We have a track.
239
00:10:52,560 --> 00:10:53,706
This is fresh.
240
00:10:53,730 --> 00:10:55,930
Let's keep going. I'll circle
back and cast this thing.
241
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:03,500
Let's get back. Back up.
242
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:05,900
Holy crap.
243
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:08,030
One.
244
00:11:08,660 --> 00:11:09,730
Two.
245
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:11,676
Three impressions.
246
00:11:11,700 --> 00:11:14,136
Look at that, but they're not very big.
247
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:15,776
I think we got a juvenile.
248
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:16,900
Russ for Bryce.
249
00:11:17,660 --> 00:11:18,660
Russ for Bryce.
250
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,036
I'm unable to reach Bryce.
251
00:11:25,060 --> 00:11:26,800
I don't like not having comms.
252
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:29,336
The weather's picking up.
253
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,000
It's coming down a lot faster.
254
00:11:31,660 --> 00:11:34,236
The more moisture, the
more water gets in here,
255
00:11:34,260 --> 00:11:35,576
the more deterioration I get.
256
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:36,477
Look at this.
257
00:11:36,501 --> 00:11:38,536
There's pooling right in here, the water.
258
00:11:38,560 --> 00:11:40,176
I need to get the
casting material in there,
259
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:41,236
like, right now.
260
00:11:41,260 --> 00:11:44,136
I think we've got some
really good evidence here.
261
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,636
Normally, I wouldn't
cast in these conditions.
262
00:11:46,660 --> 00:11:48,836
But I've never seen a print this size.
263
00:11:48,860 --> 00:11:50,836
This could be a juvenile print.
264
00:11:50,860 --> 00:11:53,236
If I can capture this
evidence, this could prove
265
00:11:53,260 --> 00:11:54,936
that they're raising their young here.
266
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,800
After I cast these, I'll go
back and do the other one.
267
00:11:58,700 --> 00:12:00,900
I've never seen anything like this.
268
00:12:04,100 --> 00:12:06,536
I think this is the left and right footprint.
269
00:12:06,560 --> 00:12:08,076
I think we've got two here,
270
00:12:08,100 --> 00:12:09,936
a juvenile and an adult.
271
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:11,600
This is a huge find.
272
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:13,600
I can't believe this.
273
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:16,337
I don't know if there's enough
274
00:12:16,361 --> 00:12:17,976
to get a full print on this,
275
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,430
but I wanna get these toes.
276
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:24,930
These are so much smaller.
277
00:12:25,860 --> 00:12:27,930
How do we get eyes
on these things tonight?
278
00:12:36,860 --> 00:12:39,000
Let's see if we find
some tracks right here.
279
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,800
The heat signature I'm
after is in this direction,
280
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,836
I'm trying to find any
signs of movement, tracks,
281
00:12:51,860 --> 00:12:53,600
anything that could
have come through here.
282
00:12:59,660 --> 00:13:01,076
It actually looks like something
283
00:13:01,100 --> 00:13:02,800
has been moving through here.
284
00:13:03,560 --> 00:13:05,136
Right in here.
285
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:06,800
Look at the way these are bent down.
286
00:13:07,460 --> 00:13:09,736
It just looks like this has been
287
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,700
matted down in this direction.
288
00:13:12,860 --> 00:13:14,436
I say we keep going that way
289
00:13:14,460 --> 00:13:15,600
and keep following this.
290
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:34,200
Shh. Listen.
291
00:13:42,260 --> 00:13:43,700
I heard something over there.
292
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:01,730
It is so quiet down here.
293
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,876
As temperatures continue to drop,
294
00:14:08,900 --> 00:14:10,576
the rain has turned to snow,
295
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,276
while Bryce has now made his way
296
00:14:12,300 --> 00:14:13,636
across the valley in search
297
00:14:13,660 --> 00:14:16,000
of the heat signature he spotted earlier.
298
00:14:29,460 --> 00:14:31,436
We are in the thick of it right now,
299
00:14:31,460 --> 00:14:32,976
and I'm getting just a real
300
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,076
uneasy feeling being here,
301
00:14:35,100 --> 00:14:37,230
and I feel that head to toe.
302
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:38,530
That's weird.
303
00:14:40,860 --> 00:14:42,636
Infrasound is something that we've
304
00:14:42,660 --> 00:14:44,336
explored with these creatures
305
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:45,476
that could be the cause
306
00:14:45,500 --> 00:14:48,176
of these uneasy feelings.
307
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:49,536
Infrasound is sound
308
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,136
below the range of human hearing,
309
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,136
which is generally
accepted as below 20 hertz,
310
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,476
it can be generated
by natural phenomena
311
00:14:56,500 --> 00:14:58,976
like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions,
312
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,236
as well as by animals
313
00:15:00,260 --> 00:15:02,736
such as whales, tigers and elephants.
314
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,376
Some humans can be
adversely affected by it.
315
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,176
Bigfoot researchers suggest that
316
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,336
big foot can not only
communicate using infrasound,
317
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:11,836
but can use the sound waves
318
00:15:11,860 --> 00:15:13,730
to disorient other animals.
319
00:15:22,060 --> 00:15:24,600
I'm hearing stuff pop above me.
320
00:15:46,100 --> 00:15:48,500
- Holy.
- Holy.
321
00:15:49,900 --> 00:15:51,600
Hold on. What the is that?
322
00:15:56,860 --> 00:15:58,200
Whoa!
323
00:15:59,100 --> 00:16:01,576
I don't know, but from
here it looks like it was
324
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,300
put in the ground upside down.
325
00:16:05,660 --> 00:16:08,300
This just is creeping me out big time.
326
00:16:09,100 --> 00:16:11,200
I was just seeing if there's any tracks,
327
00:16:12,860 --> 00:16:14,436
I mean, look at this fresh snow.
328
00:16:14,460 --> 00:16:16,300
I just came in right through here.
329
00:16:17,260 --> 00:16:18,900
And there's nothing else around.
330
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:20,730
Yeah, this is buried.
331
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:25,536
I mean, you can see this was
332
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,700
jammed in here with such force.
333
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,636
This is just branded in there.
334
00:16:30,660 --> 00:16:33,700
This is buried upside down
335
00:16:34,060 --> 00:16:35,076
in the ground.
336
00:16:35,100 --> 00:16:36,776
And we really haven't seen that,
337
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,200
except for places like Alaska.
338
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:40,900
There it is.
339
00:16:41,300 --> 00:16:42,400
My god.
340
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:44,437
That's weird.
341
00:16:44,461 --> 00:16:45,600
That is weird.
342
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:48,976
This may be another boundary marker,
343
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,536
but honestly, it's a little different
344
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,536
from what we've seen in the past.
345
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,536
You know, the structures that we've been
346
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,336
discovering that we
feel have been marking
347
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,436
out boundaries have been more
348
00:16:59,460 --> 00:17:01,900
apex structures with ornamentation.
349
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:04,736
What the hell is this thing doing here
350
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:06,176
in northern California?
351
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,176
It has me thinking and wondering.
352
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:09,976
Could this possibly be
353
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,700
the same group of big foot from Alaska?
354
00:17:31,360 --> 00:17:32,930
I'm not seeing anything here.
355
00:17:34,700 --> 00:17:36,836
After losing communication with the rest
356
00:17:36,860 --> 00:17:38,836
of the team for over two hours
357
00:17:38,860 --> 00:17:41,176
and as the snow continues to fall,
358
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:42,736
a half mile from Bryce,
359
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:44,876
mireya proceeds to
search in the direction
360
00:17:44,900 --> 00:17:47,430
the heat signatures were
last known to be heading.
361
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:51,700
Crazy.
362
00:17:52,100 --> 00:17:53,230
The weather
363
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,576
has changed so dramatically,
364
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,400
even just in the time that I've been
365
00:17:57,660 --> 00:17:59,376
out here searching,
366
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,400
that now we've got a buildup of snow,
367
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:03,276
which, up to this point,
368
00:18:03,300 --> 00:18:05,076
the weather has been really hurting
369
00:18:05,100 --> 00:18:07,576
and challenging us,
like we're down comms.
370
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:08,776
Visibility isn't good,
371
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:10,536
but this might actually help us
372
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:11,900
in looking for tracks.
373
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,230
No way.
374
00:18:31,300 --> 00:18:32,736
God, look at this.
375
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,130
There's two nests.
376
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,036
God, look at this.
377
00:18:41,060 --> 00:18:42,300
There's two nests.
378
00:18:44,660 --> 00:18:46,336
You look at this
379
00:18:46,360 --> 00:18:48,536
and there's absolutely no confusing this
380
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,276
for anything else other than a nest.
381
00:18:51,300 --> 00:18:54,536
Deer couldn't do this.
Bear couldn't do this.
382
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,536
If I'm honest, what it reminds me of
383
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,600
is very much like a nest
a gorilla would make.
384
00:19:01,460 --> 00:19:03,076
The thing that strikes me
385
00:19:03,100 --> 00:19:04,976
is that this was just constructed.
386
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,436
Look how fresh those pine needles are.
387
00:19:07,460 --> 00:19:09,076
I mean, they're bright, bright green.
388
00:19:09,100 --> 00:19:10,136
I don't want to touch anything
389
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:10,877
because I want to be able
390
00:19:10,901 --> 00:19:13,430
to collect evidence from this.
391
00:19:14,100 --> 00:19:15,836
But look at this, the way that all this
392
00:19:15,860 --> 00:19:18,436
is sort of woven on the bottom
393
00:19:18,460 --> 00:19:20,976
to create this geometrical shape
394
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,336
and then all of this bedding
395
00:19:23,360 --> 00:19:25,976
right in the middle, I mean,
396
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,976
the nests that we found in
northern California in the past,
397
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,076
they didn't look recent.
398
00:19:31,100 --> 00:19:33,030
Check this out. Look at all these breaks.
399
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:35,200
Look at this. Right here.
400
00:19:35,660 --> 00:19:37,000
What the.
401
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:38,976
This is crazy.
402
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,536
And the thing about
primates, like gorillas,
403
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:42,836
when they make a nest,
404
00:19:42,860 --> 00:19:46,830
it's to sleep in that night and
only that night, which means...
405
00:19:47,500 --> 00:19:49,436
We're in something's territory.
406
00:19:49,460 --> 00:19:53,676
And having two nests
this close to each other,
407
00:19:53,700 --> 00:19:55,936
we could be looking at a family group.
408
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,976
But given the size of the nest,
409
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,930
we're looking at huge animals.
410
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,430
What I want to find is what made these.
411
00:20:13,460 --> 00:20:14,736
My god!
412
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,030
Look at this.
413
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,030
There's another one.
414
00:20:22,500 --> 00:20:23,800
And it's also big.
415
00:20:26,460 --> 00:20:28,130
This is insane.
416
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,236
Wow.
417
00:20:31,260 --> 00:20:35,076
If what we were picking up
on that thermal made this,
418
00:20:35,100 --> 00:20:36,436
that means that we're really close,
419
00:20:36,460 --> 00:20:38,400
and this is the closest we've ever been.
420
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:50,030
Look at this.
421
00:20:57,100 --> 00:20:58,600
There's something that...
422
00:20:59,660 --> 00:21:05,636
Took all the branches from here
423
00:21:05,660 --> 00:21:07,600
to bring up there
where we found the nest.
424
00:21:09,360 --> 00:21:11,636
Mireya for Bryce or Russell.
425
00:21:11,660 --> 00:21:13,330
Bryce or Russell, come in.
426
00:21:21,100 --> 00:21:22,230
Mireya for Bryce.
427
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:31,836
But let's keep going
428
00:21:31,860 --> 00:21:33,600
and see if we see anything down there.
429
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,400
It's almost full-on daylight.
430
00:21:52,360 --> 00:21:53,736
We have to make contact with the team.
431
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,376
We need to rendezvous.
432
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,876
With the first wave of
the storm having passed,
433
00:21:57,900 --> 00:22:00,576
rising temperatures and
rain have melted the snow
434
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:01,836
and cleared the ground.
435
00:22:01,860 --> 00:22:03,736
However, the next wave of the storm
436
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:07,036
is expected to make
landfall within six hours.
437
00:22:07,060 --> 00:22:09,536
Meteorologists have predicted lightning
438
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,176
and up to four inches of rain,
439
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,600
which is enough to cause
flash floods and landslides.
440
00:22:16,060 --> 00:22:18,330
Russ for mireya or Bryce.
Either one of you copy.
441
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:20,600
Hey, Russ, I read you.
442
00:22:21,100 --> 00:22:22,136
What's going on?
443
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,136
I got an idea. We've
been running all night long.
444
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:25,436
This is a pretty hard push.
445
00:22:25,460 --> 00:22:27,536
How about if we meet
up in about two hours?
446
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:28,676
If I give you some coordinates,
447
00:22:28,700 --> 00:22:31,136
can you guys both meet me
at the bottom of this creek?
448
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,336
Absolutely, man, that's a good plan.
449
00:22:33,360 --> 00:22:36,576
- I had the craziest night, man.
- You would not believe it.
450
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,476
Have you heard
anything from mireya yet?
451
00:22:38,500 --> 00:22:41,300
Negative. I have not heard from mireya.
452
00:22:42,060 --> 00:22:43,676
Hey, guys, I'm back on comms now,
453
00:22:43,700 --> 00:22:44,706
and I heard everything you said.
454
00:22:44,730 --> 00:22:48,236
I never reached whatever
that thermal target was,
455
00:22:48,260 --> 00:22:50,276
but, man, do I have
something to show you.
456
00:22:50,300 --> 00:22:52,636
You got it, mireya. Good
to have you back on comms.
457
00:22:52,660 --> 00:22:54,400
I'm on the way.
458
00:22:55,360 --> 00:22:56,976
Got to get those casts pulled
459
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:58,800
and meet the team in two hours.
460
00:23:10,460 --> 00:23:11,600
Here we go.
461
00:23:12,700 --> 00:23:14,976
Wow. Look at that.
462
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,630
I don't think I lost any
of the detail in here.
463
00:23:18,660 --> 00:23:20,700
All right, let's head
over to the other location.
464
00:23:21,660 --> 00:23:23,600
I'm kind of excited to see those others.
465
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:27,130
Wow.
466
00:23:28,900 --> 00:23:30,830
Look at this. I have a left foot.
467
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,576
And right up here, I have the right foot.
468
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:37,730
We have a perfect set
of tracks, left and right.
469
00:23:38,660 --> 00:23:40,976
This is like the lottery
of footprints right here.
470
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,336
My hunch is telling me
471
00:23:42,360 --> 00:23:43,776
that we're looking at a juvenile.
472
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,876
Different size prints proves
more than one creature.
473
00:23:46,900 --> 00:23:49,436
That means that we could
have identified a family group,
474
00:23:49,460 --> 00:23:52,476
and we've zeroed in on
their breeding grounds.
475
00:23:52,500 --> 00:23:55,676
I want nothing more than to
sit here and clean this thing out
476
00:23:55,700 --> 00:23:57,036
detail by detail,
477
00:23:57,060 --> 00:23:58,636
but I gotta meet up with the team.
478
00:23:58,660 --> 00:24:00,500
I gotta show them these tracks.
479
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:13,776
That's some terrain?
480
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,076
- Man, that's crazy.
- And what a night.
481
00:24:16,100 --> 00:24:18,236
- Yeah.
- -That weather was just so crazy.
482
00:24:18,260 --> 00:24:19,536
Yeah, absolutely.
483
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:20,700
Check this out.
484
00:24:21,700 --> 00:24:23,836
Let me show you what I got.
485
00:24:23,860 --> 00:24:27,136
This is the first one I found.
Look how wide this thing is.
486
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,236
- My god.
- -Wow, that is wide.
487
00:24:29,260 --> 00:24:30,237
Wow!
488
00:24:30,261 --> 00:24:31,836
Look how flat and wide that thing is.
489
00:24:31,860 --> 00:24:33,876
Look at the size of this thing.
490
00:24:33,900 --> 00:24:34,807
Yeah.
491
00:24:34,831 --> 00:24:36,176
I mean, this is really interesting.
492
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:40,036
You can see how there is what
looks to be the toes splaying.
493
00:24:40,060 --> 00:24:43,236
And we wear shoes, so
you don't often see this
494
00:24:43,260 --> 00:24:45,736
because our toes are always constricted.
495
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:47,476
I'm looking at these prints,
496
00:24:47,500 --> 00:24:51,076
and I'm observing
interesting physiological traits,
497
00:24:51,100 --> 00:24:53,236
like the way that the
toes are splayed out,
498
00:24:53,260 --> 00:24:54,776
which is interesting
because that tells you
499
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:56,736
a lot about locomotion.
500
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,736
In environments just like this,
501
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,076
where I worked with natives
who never wear shoes,
502
00:25:01,100 --> 00:25:02,976
you can see the toe splay.
503
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,076
In fact, you see a thickening of their sole.
504
00:25:05,100 --> 00:25:08,030
The feet are a reflection
of the environment...
505
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,700
And this is something
that's walking upright.
506
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:22,876
Wow. This is a great find, Russ.
507
00:25:22,900 --> 00:25:23,677
Thank you.
508
00:25:23,701 --> 00:25:25,536
Wait till you see these other two.
509
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,676
Bryce, I got a left and a right.
510
00:25:27,700 --> 00:25:28,477
- No way.
- Look.
511
00:25:28,501 --> 00:25:29,876
My god, they're a set.
512
00:25:29,900 --> 00:25:30,976
- Left and right.
- Wow!
513
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,336
Wow. Russell. That's outstanding.
514
00:25:34,360 --> 00:25:35,730
What makes this unique
515
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,376
is having a side by side print like that,
516
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,876
you have the left foot and the right foot,
517
00:25:40,900 --> 00:25:42,836
which is like the holy grail
518
00:25:42,860 --> 00:25:44,836
of collecting these footprints.
519
00:25:44,860 --> 00:25:47,936
Well done, man. That's incredible.
520
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,836
This is about two-thirds
the length of this one.
521
00:25:50,860 --> 00:25:51,456
Judging by the size.
522
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:52,776
I feel like this is the biggest one, right?
523
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:54,230
That's huge.
524
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:58,236
In primates, there's a lot of
cases of sexual dimorphism
525
00:25:58,260 --> 00:26:00,900
where the male is
bigger than the female.
526
00:26:02,360 --> 00:26:05,236
Sexual dimorphism is
a term used in science
527
00:26:05,260 --> 00:26:07,536
to describe size differences
528
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,936
between a male and
a female in a species.
529
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,136
We don't see this in all animals,
530
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,976
but we do see it a lot
in primates like gorillas
531
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:16,106
where the silver back male
532
00:26:16,130 --> 00:26:18,876
is going to be significantly
larger than a female.
533
00:26:18,900 --> 00:26:22,176
So we could be looking at a juvenile print
534
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,376
or we could be looking at a female print.
535
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,276
Gorillas, in particular, male gorillas,
536
00:26:28,300 --> 00:26:31,876
are 30% larger than female gorillas.
537
00:26:31,900 --> 00:26:32,120
Man.
538
00:26:32,144 --> 00:26:33,936
I think this might have been a juvenile...
539
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:35,976
- Yeah.
- And an adult.
540
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,936
Told it to start up,
circle back and go down.
541
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,136
You know, it's so funny
that you mentioned juvenile
542
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,676
because last night,
543
00:26:44,700 --> 00:26:48,036
you know, I was tracking
this third anomalous target
544
00:26:48,060 --> 00:26:49,836
which led me into this zone,
545
00:26:49,860 --> 00:26:55,076
and, Russ, I found an upside
down tree stuck into the ground.
546
00:26:55,100 --> 00:26:57,076
It wasn't a tree, it was smaller,
547
00:26:57,100 --> 00:26:59,076
but it was in there like
three and a half feet.
548
00:26:59,100 --> 00:27:02,636
- Like Alaska upside down tree?
- Yes, much smaller
549
00:27:02,660 --> 00:27:05,336
and just more ominous
because when I was in there,
550
00:27:05,360 --> 00:27:06,976
I just felt like I was in the lion's den, man.
551
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,136
- Wow.
- I felt like I was being lured in there.
552
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:13,136
So, yeah, you may have a
male and female or male juvenile.
553
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:17,436
But obviously, there's multiple
creatures from these tracks.
554
00:27:17,460 --> 00:27:20,857
You know you've got
two different individuals.
555
00:27:20,881 --> 00:27:21,736
For sure.
556
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:23,336
The most important thing is
557
00:27:23,360 --> 00:27:27,436
it could be that what we're
looking at here is a family group.
558
00:27:27,460 --> 00:27:29,336
Russell, this is a really, really great find.
559
00:27:29,360 --> 00:27:32,076
But you guys, I want to take
you to where I was last night.
560
00:27:32,100 --> 00:27:34,036
You are not gonna believe what I found.
561
00:27:34,060 --> 00:27:35,136
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
562
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:36,836
- I'm intrigued.
- What'd you get?
563
00:27:36,860 --> 00:27:38,736
I don't want to tell
you. I want to show you.
564
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:39,976
Pack this up and let's go.
565
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:41,500
- I'll take you there.
- All right.
566
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,376
- Crap.
- Look at that.
567
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,800
My gosh!
568
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:56,536
Isn't this crazy? Look.
569
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:57,976
Three nests.
570
00:27:58,000 --> 00:27:59,836
Wow!
571
00:27:59,860 --> 00:28:02,236
It doesn't look like anything's
changed from last night,
572
00:28:02,260 --> 00:28:04,076
so whatever made
these didn't come back.
573
00:28:04,100 --> 00:28:05,300
Wow.
574
00:28:06,100 --> 00:28:09,036
I'm just flummoxed. This is wild.
575
00:28:09,060 --> 00:28:13,400
These are absolutely just gigantic.
576
00:28:15,460 --> 00:28:18,136
These nests are intertwined together,
577
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,376
and they have green
fresh boughs on top of them
578
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:22,636
to make them comfortable,
579
00:28:22,660 --> 00:28:24,136
like you would sleep at any hotel.
580
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:25,536
I was not expecting this.
581
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,300
Where's the third one?
582
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:29,230
Follow this way.
583
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:35,436
Hey, Russ, up here.
584
00:28:35,460 --> 00:28:38,000
- Wow.
- My god!
585
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:40,300
That is huge.
586
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,336
It's like woven together.
587
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,936
This is what we ran into
right here in California
588
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:48,530
when we found two nests.
589
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:50,776
But now we're looking at three,
590
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:51,707
which would indicate
591
00:28:51,731 --> 00:28:53,576
we're looking at three different creatures
592
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:54,736
on this mountain.
593
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,076
Tell me this wouldn't
be the Alpha position.
594
00:28:57,100 --> 00:29:00,836
To me, this spells out like
some kind of family group
595
00:29:00,860 --> 00:29:04,636
where you've got an Alpha watching
out for the other group members.
596
00:29:04,660 --> 00:29:07,336
- And if we have a little one in a group...
- -Right.
597
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,536
It's usually going to nest with the mother.
598
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:11,836
That makes total sense.
599
00:29:11,860 --> 00:29:16,136
This one particular site, there
actually was a cluster of nests.
600
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:17,037
Wow.
601
00:29:17,061 --> 00:29:19,776
My kind of gut reaction to this situation
602
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:21,436
was that it was a birthing site.
603
00:29:21,460 --> 00:29:24,176
The reason I think that
is there was one nest
604
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,436
that was in the crook of a bush
605
00:29:26,460 --> 00:29:28,736
about two and a half feet off the ground.
606
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,836
When I saw it, the first
thing that came to mind was,
607
00:29:31,860 --> 00:29:34,636
"my gosh, this is a bassinet."
608
00:29:34,660 --> 00:29:36,676
When I look at the size of this thing,
609
00:29:36,700 --> 00:29:39,276
I could fit two of me inside of this.
610
00:29:39,300 --> 00:29:42,036
And just the way these
nests were situated together
611
00:29:42,060 --> 00:29:43,037
leads me to believe that
612
00:29:43,061 --> 00:29:45,336
this was more than
likely a family of big foot.
613
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,836
- Wow.
- Okay. Right here? Right at the edge?
614
00:29:47,860 --> 00:29:50,236
Nine feet.
615
00:29:50,260 --> 00:29:53,436
So for reference, I'm going to
label this one just Alpha nest...
616
00:29:53,460 --> 00:29:55,276
- All right.
- And write down the measurements,
617
00:29:55,300 --> 00:29:56,436
and we'll just go to all of them,
618
00:29:56,460 --> 00:29:58,136
- get all that first...
- Yeah.
619
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:00,500
- And then we just start diving in.
- -Great.
620
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:07,830
- All right, let's measure this one.
- -Yep.
621
00:30:08,460 --> 00:30:09,836
We're at nine feet on this one.
622
00:30:09,860 --> 00:30:10,737
- Same.
- Wow.
623
00:30:10,761 --> 00:30:11,936
- Same.
- Here.
624
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:13,100
Yep. I got it.
625
00:30:15,700 --> 00:30:16,800
Right at eight feet.
626
00:30:17,660 --> 00:30:18,976
These other two nests
627
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,876
are measuring to be about
the same size as the first one,
628
00:30:21,900 --> 00:30:24,876
which means there are at
least three creatures here.
629
00:30:24,900 --> 00:30:26,436
And if this is a family grouping
630
00:30:26,460 --> 00:30:28,136
with the mother sharing the nest,
631
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,200
then we could be looking
at possibly four big foot.
632
00:30:35,300 --> 00:30:36,936
Seven and a half feet.
633
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:38,536
- Yeah.
- Good.
634
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,176
Man, I'm almost seeing, like,
an impression in here, too.
635
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:42,636
Are you guys catching that?
636
00:30:42,660 --> 00:30:45,836
If you really look at the composition of it,
637
00:30:45,860 --> 00:30:49,976
you'd have to imagine that
something had to have been inside
638
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,976
in order to get this done
and matted down in this way.
639
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:53,977
Yeah, right.
640
00:30:54,001 --> 00:30:55,006
Which is great for us
641
00:30:55,030 --> 00:30:57,436
because we may be able
to find some DNA in there.
642
00:30:57,460 --> 00:31:00,660
Yeah. Speaking of, what's the
best way to pull some of this DNA?
643
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:02,976
Let's split up because
there's three of them
644
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:04,436
and the weather is really coming in.
645
00:31:04,460 --> 00:31:05,636
Yeah, it is.
646
00:31:05,660 --> 00:31:07,736
First thing I want to do is use
the technology that we have
647
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:09,076
that will help to identify
648
00:31:09,100 --> 00:31:12,476
our best chances of getting
a DNA signature here.
649
00:31:12,500 --> 00:31:15,776
So if you guys want to
start working on the outside,
650
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:17,676
- by looking for any hair...
- Yeah.
651
00:31:17,700 --> 00:31:19,717
Anything that looks
unusual that we can collect...
652
00:31:19,741 --> 00:31:19,976
Yep.
653
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,560
- And then we can really dive in.
- -Great.
654
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:25,836
With the next band of the storm
655
00:31:25,860 --> 00:31:27,736
expected to hit land in less than an hour,
656
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,576
mireya must gather any evidence now,
657
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:31,976
before it washes away,
658
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:33,836
using a hyper spectral camera
659
00:31:33,860 --> 00:31:35,336
that's equipped with technology
660
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:36,636
that processes data
661
00:31:36,660 --> 00:31:39,176
across the entire
electromagnetic spectrum,
662
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,836
allowing it to detect
traces of animal DNA.
663
00:31:42,860 --> 00:31:44,476
It's detected something right here,
664
00:31:44,500 --> 00:31:46,436
so I'm gonna go ahead and set that.
665
00:31:46,460 --> 00:31:48,036
That way we can keep that data,
666
00:31:48,060 --> 00:31:50,936
and I'm going to collect
exactly from that spot.
667
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:52,076
It's going to give us our best chances
668
00:31:52,100 --> 00:31:54,336
of getting any kind of DNA signature.
669
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:58,336
I'm trying to collect as much
evidence as we can while we still have it,
670
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:01,736
because I don't know what's going
to be left when this next storm hits.
671
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:02,976
Good grief, mireya.
672
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,736
Now that I'm in here, look
at the size of this thing. Look.
673
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:08,436
You look like you're
in a six-person hot tub.
674
00:32:08,460 --> 00:32:13,736
I mean, this thing could
accommodate several huge humans.
675
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:14,830
Agreed.
676
00:32:15,260 --> 00:32:16,460
That's a lot of space.
677
00:32:21,900 --> 00:32:23,576
We're gonna have to shut it down.
678
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,036
- Copy that.
- We'll finish up here and head back.
679
00:32:26,060 --> 00:32:26,660
Negative.
680
00:32:26,684 --> 00:32:29,636
We need everyone to pull
back position, Russ, now.
681
00:32:29,660 --> 00:32:31,076
- Hey, Bryce.
- Yeah?
682
00:32:31,100 --> 00:32:32,436
We gotta get out of here.
683
00:32:32,460 --> 00:32:34,236
- I'm on my way.
- You done?
684
00:32:34,260 --> 00:32:35,530
Yeah.
685
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:51,436
The thing that made me want
to start doing field research
686
00:32:51,460 --> 00:32:53,476
was a magazine article
687
00:32:53,500 --> 00:32:57,176
that I read about the most
endangered primates in the world.
688
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:00,976
And it wasn't the ones with the beautiful
photographs that captured my attention.
689
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:02,736
It was actually the line drawings.
690
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,676
Because here they were
on the verge of extinction,
691
00:33:05,700 --> 00:33:08,536
and they had never
even been photographed.
692
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:10,476
That really captured my attention.
693
00:33:10,500 --> 00:33:12,376
I knew then and there that that was what
694
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:14,676
I was going to dedicate
the rest of my life to.
695
00:33:14,700 --> 00:33:17,336
And for now, more than two decades,
696
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:18,776
I have been in search
697
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:22,236
of rare and elusive primates
on the verge of extinction
698
00:33:22,260 --> 00:33:24,700
that have not even
ever been documented.
699
00:33:41,460 --> 00:33:43,336
After the storm came through,
700
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,400
it made all of the roads
and trails impassable.
701
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:48,476
But we're not giving up.
702
00:33:48,500 --> 00:33:50,636
Nothing here on prints
or anything. Anything that
703
00:33:50,660 --> 00:33:52,576
no, just some turned up ferns.
704
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:56,200
Nature still has so many
more surprises for us, I think.
705
00:33:59,700 --> 00:34:01,536
I remember so many times
706
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,476
during my previous expeditions
707
00:34:03,500 --> 00:34:06,336
where I was out searching
for a rare elusive animal
708
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:09,436
that I'd been told over
and over I'd never find.
709
00:34:09,460 --> 00:34:11,236
There were so many moments
710
00:34:11,260 --> 00:34:13,076
where I could have just given up
711
00:34:13,100 --> 00:34:14,536
because it seemed like a failure,
712
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:18,736
walking ten hours a day for months
on end and not seeing something.
713
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,200
But then you have that
breakthrough moment,
714
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:23,236
and that can only come
715
00:34:23,260 --> 00:34:25,530
from Patience and perseverance.
716
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:39,636
After weeks of searching
717
00:34:39,660 --> 00:34:41,676
for the suspected family of big foot,
718
00:34:41,700 --> 00:34:45,036
the team gathers to speak to
an expert of forensic podiatry
719
00:34:45,060 --> 00:34:47,036
about the three detailed prints
720
00:34:47,060 --> 00:34:49,536
they collected near the nest site.
721
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:53,336
Dr. Emily, thank you so much for
taking the time to speak with us today.
722
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:54,576
Thank you so much.
723
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,536
First of all, can you tell us
a little bit about your work?
724
00:34:57,560 --> 00:34:59,736
So I am a functional podiatrist
725
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,036
and a human movement specialist,
726
00:35:02,060 --> 00:35:03,976
and I have a big interest
727
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,136
in the evolution of bipedal-ism.
728
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:07,976
Well, I know we sent you tracks
729
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:09,076
that we found out in the field.
730
00:35:09,100 --> 00:35:11,276
Can you break down your process
731
00:35:11,300 --> 00:35:14,136
of how you analyze a foot track?
732
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,436
What I did is I set them
down all on the floor,
733
00:35:16,460 --> 00:35:19,076
and then I looked at
them from a distance
734
00:35:19,100 --> 00:35:22,436
to see what kind of jumped out at me
735
00:35:22,460 --> 00:35:24,976
from the shape, from the size,
736
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:26,976
from the detailing of the prints.
737
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:28,336
And then I went in deeper
738
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,076
and started taking actual measurements
739
00:35:30,100 --> 00:35:33,076
of the size of the foot,
the breadth of the foot.
740
00:35:33,100 --> 00:35:35,836
This is based off of forensic podiatry,
741
00:35:35,860 --> 00:35:37,676
which is a division of podiatry
742
00:35:37,700 --> 00:35:40,636
that uses footprints that
would be found at a crime scene
743
00:35:40,660 --> 00:35:41,936
to then try to determine
744
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:46,330
height, weight, et cetera,
even gait pattern, of a suspect.
745
00:35:47,100 --> 00:35:48,336
I got to ask you, Dr. Em,
746
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:50,136
this is probably the first time
747
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:51,536
anybody has come to you
748
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:55,176
with what might be a
big foot foot to analyze.
749
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:56,736
Did you see anything
750
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:58,336
that, you know, jumped out at you
751
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,576
as being different or strange?
752
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:01,377
Yeah, absolutely.
753
00:36:01,401 --> 00:36:03,076
Thank you for sending them to me.
754
00:36:03,100 --> 00:36:04,836
And what I want to share with you
755
00:36:04,860 --> 00:36:07,676
is first with the smaller pair.
756
00:36:07,700 --> 00:36:10,336
Just because those
were so well-articulated,
757
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,076
even the web space
758
00:36:12,100 --> 00:36:14,676
and in between the ball of the foot
759
00:36:14,700 --> 00:36:16,436
and where the digits
start to make an imprint
760
00:36:16,460 --> 00:36:18,236
was so well defined.
761
00:36:18,260 --> 00:36:21,076
I thought that they
would look more primate
762
00:36:21,100 --> 00:36:23,676
and they actually looked
more homo sapiens.
763
00:36:23,700 --> 00:36:24,607
Well, that's interesting.
764
00:36:24,631 --> 00:36:27,176
Now, not evolved homo sapiens.
765
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,636
What I'm looking, just
based off of the assessment,
766
00:36:29,660 --> 00:36:32,436
would be human-like.
767
00:36:32,460 --> 00:36:34,836
In looking at our ancestral lineage,
768
00:36:34,860 --> 00:36:37,576
we see in primates that they have
769
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,276
what sort of looks like
they still have a finger,
770
00:36:40,300 --> 00:36:43,576
whereas in humans, we have a big toe.
771
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,036
What is it that you're
seeing in those prints?
772
00:36:46,060 --> 00:36:49,736
Yeah, so that is actually one of
the biggest distinctions of what I saw
773
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:56,436
is this well-defined big
toe joint, you could say.
774
00:36:56,460 --> 00:36:59,236
But what really stands
out around the prints
775
00:36:59,260 --> 00:37:02,776
that makes them less
human-like is the breadth.
776
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:06,676
So the width of the
metatarsal area, so here,
777
00:37:06,700 --> 00:37:10,836
this is going to be wider
than in homo sapiens foot,
778
00:37:10,860 --> 00:37:13,536
and then down to the calcaneus.
779
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:16,076
It's interesting to hear that Dr. Emily feels
780
00:37:16,100 --> 00:37:18,436
that this cast is similar to a human foot,
781
00:37:18,460 --> 00:37:20,676
but there are key differences.
782
00:37:20,700 --> 00:37:22,976
Because if this print
didn't come from a human,
783
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:26,076
then these differences
might provide real insight
784
00:37:26,100 --> 00:37:29,236
into how an animal would
interact in this environment.
785
00:37:29,260 --> 00:37:32,376
Are you able to determine
the ability of these things
786
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,376
to be able to travel long distances?
787
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:37,176
Based off of it being a human-like foot
788
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,636
means that it would be upright,
789
00:37:39,660 --> 00:37:44,576
which inherently gives the
ability to walk longer distances.
790
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:46,136
Okay.
791
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,436
They have a wider foot that allows for
792
00:37:48,460 --> 00:37:51,336
maybe more stability on forest floors,
793
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:53,876
rocks and branches, and things like that.
794
00:37:53,900 --> 00:37:54,837
Got it.
795
00:37:54,861 --> 00:37:57,636
So what's your takeaway
from these tracks?
796
00:37:57,660 --> 00:38:00,136
So when I did the measurements,
797
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:03,576
there are well-accepted calculations
798
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:08,136
to find averages between
foot length and height.
799
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:12,776
What they found is that
there's a 15% correlation.
800
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,276
So I measured from
the center of the heel
801
00:38:15,300 --> 00:38:17,876
to the middle of the big toe
802
00:38:17,900 --> 00:38:21,376
to determine the foot length.
803
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,936
Take that and then
use that 15% calculation
804
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:29,036
to determine potential
height from this print.
805
00:38:29,060 --> 00:38:30,536
We're dying to know what you get.
806
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:32,336
So from the smaller print,
807
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:37,236
the height is around 6'9 " to 7'0".
808
00:38:37,260 --> 00:38:38,676
- Wow!
- Wow.
809
00:38:38,700 --> 00:38:39,976
On the smaller pair.
810
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:41,636
- Wow.
- That's crazy.
811
00:38:41,660 --> 00:38:43,436
So what are the calculations
812
00:38:43,460 --> 00:38:45,236
on the height for the big print?
813
00:38:45,260 --> 00:38:48,636
So the large print, which
was 42 centimeters,
814
00:38:48,660 --> 00:38:51,276
"is an estimate of 9'0".
815
00:38:51,300 --> 00:38:52,007
Wow.
816
00:38:52,031 --> 00:38:54,776
So what we're dealing with then
817
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:58,376
would be something that is nine-foot tall
818
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:01,136
and then another one
that's six to seven-foot tall
819
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,336
walking around the forest upright,
820
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:04,800
- barefoot.
- Barefoot.
821
00:39:05,260 --> 00:39:07,436
Wow. I'm amazed.
822
00:39:07,460 --> 00:39:10,736
Hearing a seven-foot tall
and nine-foot tall creature
823
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:14,236
walking around just a stone's throw
away from the nest that we found,
824
00:39:14,260 --> 00:39:16,076
that's validation enough for me
825
00:39:16,100 --> 00:39:18,236
that families of big foot exist,
826
00:39:18,260 --> 00:39:19,800
and they are here.
827
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:23,836
When it comes to the smaller feet,
828
00:39:23,860 --> 00:39:27,136
is it possible that this
could belong to a juvenile?
829
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:31,036
If we think of size as being an indicator,
830
00:39:31,060 --> 00:39:32,336
then sure.
831
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:36,436
With the more
well-defined smaller prints,
832
00:39:36,460 --> 00:39:38,436
the fact that they're very well defined
833
00:39:38,460 --> 00:39:40,336
makes me think that there is
834
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,276
more of an effortlessness
in the movement.
835
00:39:42,300 --> 00:39:46,076
When we are younger, we move
more fascially, there's a lightness.
836
00:39:46,100 --> 00:39:48,836
Think of like a toddler
that will never get tired.
837
00:39:48,860 --> 00:39:51,536
And that's something that could suggest
838
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:54,576
that it was a younger
animal that made that imprint.
839
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:56,036
Fascinating.
840
00:39:56,060 --> 00:39:58,276
If Dr. Emily's assessment is correct,
841
00:39:58,300 --> 00:40:00,236
then we now have tangible evidence
842
00:40:00,260 --> 00:40:02,776
of a juvenile sasquatch.
843
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:06,136
I hope that my insight
was helpful to your work.
844
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:07,107
Very much so.
845
00:40:07,131 --> 00:40:08,230
- Thank you.
- Absolutely.
846
00:40:14,060 --> 00:40:15,736
Coming back to northern California,
847
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:18,800
we were hoping to prove that
this was a breeding ground.
848
00:40:20,900 --> 00:40:22,830
We discovered a ton of evidence.
849
00:40:23,460 --> 00:40:24,700
God, look at this.
850
00:40:25,260 --> 00:40:27,076
There's two nests!
851
00:40:27,100 --> 00:40:30,176
We've located a cluster of woven nests.
852
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,076
- Bryce.
- What is that?
853
00:40:32,100 --> 00:40:33,976
Massive tree structures.
854
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:35,276
Wow.
855
00:40:35,300 --> 00:40:38,336
More footprints... Left and right.
856
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:40,576
Multiple samples of DNA.
857
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:42,536
We found blood samples
and video evidence.
858
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:43,900
Look at this.
859
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:45,360
You see that?
860
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,136
Discovery is a process,
861
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,336
built one finding at a time.
862
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:52,830
It's a lot like putting together a puzzle.
863
00:40:53,660 --> 00:40:56,436
You're finding isolated pieces.
864
00:40:56,460 --> 00:40:57,500
Wow.
865
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:02,636
When you start putting them together,
866
00:41:02,660 --> 00:41:06,336
you really start to get
that clear big picture.
867
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:09,736
With each expedition,
we've gotten closer,
868
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:11,436
unveiling a greater pattern.
869
00:41:11,460 --> 00:41:14,176
And the more evidence
that we keep gathering,
870
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,930
just tells me that it's
only a matter of time...
871
00:41:18,860 --> 00:41:21,400
Before we've solved this once and for all.
