Our parents give us so much. From our very first heartbeat, they sacrifice no small amount of sweat, blood, and treasure to bring us to full adulthood. They love us unconditionally, and work to give us a good life. We, in turn, trust our parents implicitly, and try to give them the respect and obedience due to them. No other relationships in our lives can compare to the importance of that with our parents.

Habeas Corpus
In biology the term “type specimen” refers to the first sample of a new species. With animals, the type specimen means the first dead body found. Until someone produces a type specimen for bigfoot, we cannot say for certain it exists. Without studying a physical body, all information about the beast will remain speculation. This explains why some people who believe in bigfoot come across a little crazy, they have no bodily specimen to limit their speculation.
