Bigfoot Sounds

You were very excited to tell us when you had finally graduated high school with high honors. It's unexpected that you would start college and not say a peep about it in any context at all. It's actually quite suspicious given your track record of truthfulness.

. May they have been mistaken? Possibly. Liars? Hell no. What is the gain for lying, other than ridicule, harassment, threats?

Reported.

I'll explain it to you slowly: folklore. is. fiction. That's. why. it's. called. folklore. If. it. were. proven. to. be. true, it. would. be. called. fact.

Wrong. Folklore can be based on real events, but they can be mistaken. So a Gorilla could be mistaken for a bigfoot

Oh, ********. Until the recent footage on the field cam, there had been no reported sightings of wolverines in California since the 1920's-and the one that was sighted probably wandered down from Washington, where there is a small population. It's hardly likely that you sighted one once, much less twice. You're either mistaken or a liar, Mak.

Minor nitpick but that single wolverine identified first in 2008 in Northern California is believed to have come from Northern Rockies...

The early DNA results rule out that possibility that the male wolverine is from a population that has persisted undetected since then, he said. The wolverine in the photo doesn't share DNA with wolverine skulls collected in the state between 1890 and 1920, and Schwartz said the results also showed it wasn't related to wolverines found in the Cascades in Washington.

Instead, the DNA points to the Northern Rockies in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming, Schwartz said. The Rockies are more than 500 miles away from where the wolverine was spotted. While that might seem like a long way to walk for a wolverine -- which is about the size of a medium dog -- studies have shown the animal will travel hundreds of miles in search of new territory.

Regarding sightings of the lone male...

Over the past 10 years, there have been three or four wolverine sightings in the north state, said Tom Kucera, a private wildlife biologist in San Rafael, who for three years in the early 1990s tried to capture images of wolverines around the state with remote cameras of his own. But none was supported by a photo, scat sample or tuft of fur.

Although he was excited about last month's photo, it alone isn't enough to show that the wolverines are in California forests, he said.

"The problem is one male doesn't make a population," Kucera said.

Folklore is unsubstantiated beliefs, legends, and myths. Oh-Ma is an example. So is Bigfoot, Paul Bunyan, the Loch Ness monster, the legend of Atlantis, Badgeman, etc.

See, looky here:

Just a slight nitpick: it seems to me that your definition of "folklore" conflates the 1st and 3rd dictionary definitions. While folklore in the original sense is not fact, it is not necessarily or by definition false either. To be more specific, when you say, "Folklore is unsubstantiated beliefs, legends, and myths," you are referring to definition 3, but Oh-Ma is an example of definition 1. Now, it may very well fit into the category covered by def. 3, as well--actually, I don't doubt that it does--but the two definitions are separate and distinct.
