bigfoot

If you ask the average zoologist what makes mysterious creatures like Bigfoot or El Chupacabra so impossible today when once scientifically-dismissed species like the Mountain Gorilla or Giant Squid are now common enough concepts, they'll probably say, "The difference is the gorilla and the squid are real, and Bigfoot isn't."

The scientific dismissal isn't keeping Animal Planet from releasing a new DVD featuring stories of cryptozoological oddities.

Announced this week and set for release this fall (October 6), Lost Tapes operates under the thesis that, while thousands of new species are discovered and classified each year, there are some creatures that science still refuses to recognize.

When Eureka started airing, the SciFi channel started posting short "webisodes" under the Eureka section of SciFi.com. Now that a few parts have been released, I'll go over them a bit. Each webisode consists of a few scenes from a bonus episode of Eureka.

The Prolog looks like something you'd find on YouTube. A couple of peeping toms are sneaking around in the woods with their video camera. While they're to score some footage, a beastly roar shatters the night and our peeping toms are running for it. Just before the video cuts, we're treated to a picture of...Bigfoot. (Bigfoot is a huge advocate of privacy rights, that's why we never see him.)
