Bigfoot's Patty: Primate Sexual Swelling & Social Dynamics

A recent video posted on YouTube by the channel Cryptids, Wildfood & Outdoors offers a fresh perspective on the iconic Patterson-Gimlin film, specifically focusing on the anatomy of the creature's posterior. While many analyses have been conducted on the film, this particular detail has received little attention. The video suggests that the subject, commonly referred to as "Patty," possesses relatively large and well-developed buttocks. This observation raises the question of whether this could be a case of primate sexual swelling. In many primate species, sexual swellings are temporary and conspicuous physical changes in the genital area of females during periods of fertility, acting as a visual signal to males that the female is ready to mate. If Patty was indeed in estrus, this could explain her more open and roaming behavior. Solitary female Sasquatch may venture further in search of potential mates, and her chance encounter with Patterson and Gimlin may have been an unintended consequence of this reproductive behavior. The video also discusses the discovery of the Bluff Creek Footprints and the potential social dynamics of Sasquatch. Patterson and Gimlin reported finding footprints of varying sizes in the area, suggesting the possibility of a male Sasquatch courting a female in estrus. While reports of Bigfoot sightings seldom mention anything about an unusually prominent posterior, it is reasonable to expect that the bipedal nature of Sasquatch would result in more developed gluteal musculature compared to other primates. However, Patty's rear end is particularly striking in its size and definition. The video concludes by asking viewers for their opinions on the matter. Was Patty really in heat? The video encourages viewers to watch the full video and consider becoming a Patreon member to support the channel. I find this video fascinating and thought-provoking. It offers a unique perspective on the Patterson-Gimlin film and encourages viewers to think critically about the anatomy of Sasquatch. While we may not have all the answers, videos like this one keep the conversation going and help us learn more about the elusive and fascinating creature known as Bigfoot.
