In September Rick Jacobs, a Pennsylvania hunter set a stationary camera with a trigger in the woods. The camera trap was bated with a strong deer attractant and a mineral lick block.

The series of images he captured has spurred debate in the scientific community.

There are basically two sides to the debate.

Zoo keepers believe the images to be those of a primate bending over and sniffing the ground. That unclassified primate would be Bigfoot....

Game keepers believe the images to be those of a bear with mange..... The Fish and Wildlife people say their Rangers catch bears in traps all the time that look like that... skinny and mangy....

The Bigfoot people have asked them to provide some pictures of skinny mangy bears so they can do some anatomical comparisons....

The images are copyrighted and therefore cannot be posted here, but the link takes you to the site that is researching them and has some really interesting info....

Click on the images to enlarge them and come back and tell us what you think.

Are they pictures of the elusive Big Foot...Sasquatch of legends....

Or is this a bear having a really bad hair day?
