Jacobs Mischief Continues

Boing

It is the 4th of November, and yet it is literally almost two weeks since the beginning of the “Jacobs creature” melodrama. Despite the repeating of this story endlessly by the media, there are new stories being written this Sunday about it as if it is news.

This media flap beats to the drum of a different kind of absurdity.

There are people – thanks to news stories such as on CNN News today – that are hearing about and seeing a Rick Jacobs photo for the first time, described as a “juvenile sasquatch.”

At least one image (see above left) is still being shown, usually without even one comparison photograph of a mangy bear (as, for example, on the right).

Some folks even wish to ignore the obvious, saying that bears cannot get themselves into contorted positions.

Do not be distracted by the healthy fur and body fat of this specimen shown below, and merely take a look at how twisted the body of a bear can get when it needs to scratch itself:

Loren Coleman About Loren Coleman
Loren Coleman is one of the world’s leading cryptozoologists, some say “the” leading living cryptozoologist. Certainly, he is acknowledged as the current living American researcher and writer who has most popularized cryptozoology in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Starting his fieldwork and investigations in 1960, after traveling and trekking extensively in pursuit of cryptozoological mysteries, Coleman began writing to share his experiences in 1969. An honorary member of Ivan T. Sanderson’s Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained in the 1970s, Coleman has been bestowed with similar honorary memberships of the North Idaho College Cryptozoology Club in 1983, and in subsequent years, that of the British Columbia Scientific Cryptozoology Club, CryptoSafari International, and other international organizations. He was also a Life Member and Benefactor of the International Society of Cryptozoology (now-defunct). Loren Coleman’s daily blog, as a member of the Cryptomundo Team, served as an ongoing avenue of communication for the ever-growing body of cryptozoo news from 2005 through 2013. He returned as an infrequent contributor beginning Halloween week of 2015. Coleman is the founder in 2003, and current director of the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine.
