This whole video is a joke and a slap in the face to the community that takes BF seriously and scientifically. I'm disappointed in you Coyote.
I love cryptid documentaries and things like that, especially when conducted by professional educators such as yourselves, but please don't go down the clickbait route. It might inspire more clicks, but it's not very respectable and is definitley kind of scummy. That being said, the actual video itself is fun and interesting, and the reinactment is a cool little movie. I think just the title 'searching for bigfoot' would have been fantastic.
It’s extremely scummy. To lie in a post on Instagram and then come out with this video. Absolutely will never watch you again. You made disbelievers and believers alike very disappointed. This will probably be your last productive video…
I LOVE this channel as well as my two young boys. However, this clickbait situation I pray is a one time occurrence and not becoming a trend. Coyote is the last of a few genuine TH-camrs that are praised for being a solid educator and what you see is what you get kind of thing. I do not want that to go away, not even a little bit. This is so beneath you, Coyote…
This is a prop from a scene from a movie. Can’t remember the movie off hand but it was about a professor who took a few students on a camping trip to search for BigFoot. The professor finds the. Skull partially buried in the stream.
For anyone who missed it, following the word, "action," @10:12 he explains that the rest is a "what if" scenario. This might be the most messed up clickbait on bigfoot I've ever seen. And that's saying something.
I like Coyote, but the stings aren't as bad as he makes out. I've been stung by a Bullet Ant and it's painful, but not to the extent Coyote portrays. You should also check 'Jack's World of Wildlife'. Jack gets stung by all the same insects as Coyote and you can see then the show Coyote puts in for the camera
This would’ve been a perfect April fools video. But the way it was done, with a serious Instagram post and on brave wilderness’s reputation, is completely shameful and sad.
@@thedanger8919 livescience, science times, among many others. I came here as soon as I read one of the articles. He is being investigated for possibly secretly smuggling a gorilla skull between countries and he is lying that is from an unknown species
@@Kumahachi8 the location of that information seems a bit disingenuous. by commission, by omission. (your point?) sadly they keep changing history here,.... they now have changed the video description to now include "Join us on this hypothetical what-if scenario where Coyote "finds a Bigfoot skull". (thank you, Wayback Machine.)
He posted on Instagram days ago saying this was something he really found and smuggled into the us from bc. That he would post a video this weekend to show the footage. Then ten minutes in you find out this was all for clickbait and only a “hypothetical” situation. That’s why people are mad. And look how many didn’t listen to this video and still think he actually truly found something. Made a mockery of people. I still believe but this ruins those who actually have witnessed something they can’t explain. Rude.
@@patrickbertlein4626 Enough with the bootlicking, if this was April I'd agree with you but it isn't April and this isn't a channel that prides itself on clickbaiting unless he "joked" about that one too.
Come on guys…You can’t tease about something this epic. The skull looked amazing and the mud placement of skull location was good. Your killing me smalls.
I was actually fully ready to believe in Big foot cause I believed the Brave Wilderness crew would NEVER clickbait, and dramatize situations! Shame on you! Now I don’t feel the same about you all. It’s sad to think that after watching Coyote this long I believed he wouldn’t stoop down to the level of all the clickbait TH-camrs out there. This video may cost your channel more than you think!
Ha ha ha so Brave Wilderness is the Arbitrator of Truth about bigfoots existence ? Bigfoot is real these guys are just being facetious , they've stated misinformation as fact , there is DNA proof , there are pictures of them it's like they did some research on evidence from the 70's > . . . . 1870's .

This channel used to be about entertaining education. Coyote even made it a point to discuss how much he cared about preservation and education about wildlife. Then we get stuff like this. This used to be one of my favorite channels on TH-cam, it's sad to see. Deception ruins credibility regardless of the severity of that deception.
There's absolutely no reason for this channel to turn into a weird clickbait one. Cayote is clearly passionate about wildlife so let's stick to that. This video and this skull has already been debunked. It's not real, stick to what is.

Even with the @10:12 explanation about this being a "What if" situation, the seriousness of the social media posts made before this video was released, were excruciatingly misleading. He even pointed out needing to say something before the government gets involved and removes the info. I loved Brave Wilderness for it's educational and FACTUAL content. Once you start lying to get traffic from social media is when I start to lose interest fast with animal education channels. Please do better Coyote.
@@ababoononyoutube9921 Yeah, but nuance, sarcasm, and humor in general are lost to people nowadays.

@@AstralSorceress The fact is that the Bigfootists will buy any claim made about Bigfoot regardless of how completely nonsensical it is. Cloaking and evolving to avoid humans are two idiotic claims just off the top of my head.
This is why TH-cam should go back to the old 5 red star rating system. If it's a bad video, then most people would give it a low rating ( one star ) and therefore it would help to stop clickbait videos like this one from becoming popular.
I recently remembered loving this channel after years of not watching Coyote and then I return to this? Almost feeling like just turning back immediately and forgetting for another few years. And guess I'm not the only one looking at the 26k/51k dislike ratio.....
Dude's about to ruin his whole repution for a 'what if scenario'. Saw your instagram posts, you definitely intended to misdirect people with this. Just come out with a followup video addressing the instagram post and this video acknowledging that it was a mistake or unintentionally misleading or whatever. This is hoax territory. You don't want to be associated with a hoax, especially when you have such a large, successful following already.
I’ve loved watching this channel and videos for years. I’ve almost been since day one. Unfortunately now he’s chosen to go this route this will be the last video I watch ✌🏽
Guys there’s no need for this. I love this channel because it’s based on facts and exploring the wonders of nature. I don’t want to see it become this superstitious channel built on clickbait and false expectations. I really dislike the Finding Bigfoot show because that’s what it’s all about and it’s on Animal Planet which is supposed to be all about facts.
There is nothing wrong with wanting to explore cryptic zoology. They never made the claim the bigfoot is real, in fact he made it clear that he hopes for it to be real, because there is no concrete evidence of such a thing. At 10:12 he literally stated that it's hypothetical. And if you watch the second part you'd realize it was a psa to spread awareness about what you should and shouldn't do with fossils and bones of exotic animals. So if you love this channel so much then you'd have realized from the beginning this was just lighthearted fun and entertaining content.
Saw the post about "smuggling through customs and TSA", which means it had to go through a scanner if TSA was involved. Hard to believe TSA wouldn't have picked up the skull going through a scanner. Going to be tough to come out of this one clean, even if it is a prank.
Why would they care though? I don’t understand why they mention it. Also back when I was younger 5 years ago and was a drug addict, I snuck all sorts of schedule I on flights. I once had a knife I left in an old duffel bag for years (completely forgot about it) and it went undetected on a domestic flight. TSA sucks
Yeah you would think TSA actually does much, but they don't. That is why it is known as security theatre. There has actually been security people who had permission try to sneak items through TSA, multiple times they snuck through guns, with no problem. It's actually kind of frightening how incompetent they are.
@Unintentional Failure I once went right through security in Thailand with a Thai enep in my carry on backpack. Think of a large curved knife like a kukri, 12 inches long. I actually realized I had it on me and panicked and went back and gave it to security because I didn't want problems down the road changing planes etc. Didn't get into any trouble since I turned it in and was honest. Wish I would have packed it properly though, it was a cool knife.
1 pet peeve of mine is how people "search" for bigfoot. If you're looking for anyother animals you be quite and move carefully. People looking for sasquatch run around screaming and hollering them wonder why they see nothing
@@couchguy427 "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence," as they say. We've explored so little of this planet, specifically the oceans, something like Godzilla could be real for all we know. How do you explain every bigfoot sighting out there? I think it's something like gigantopithecus; would be far from the first time we've re-discovered thought to be extinct species.
It’s weird that y’all don’t see how they very purposefully worded their FB posts about this video (if you follow the FB page). They left out the fact that this is theoretical from the video description and title. They don’t mention it until 10 minutes into the video. Definitely disingenuous and I’m not a fan of the practice. I’ve respected Coyote and this channel so much but this is a step backward.
Boo hoo.. Did you really think this was real to begin with? It was obvious from the thumbnail alone but I suppose he should’ve put in the title that it was a what if so gullible people like you wouldn’t get tricked.

@@Jamie11_ he said it at the end because that's where the he was going to put the psa??? You realize this video is about bigfoot, he talks about his interest in bigfoot in the first 10 minutes of the video, explaining what it'd be like if bigfoot was real, this video was purely entertainment and educational. He never claimed bigfoot was real, in fact he said he hopes it is because even he knows better than start speaking without solid evidence. Virii42 is right, it's time to put on the thinking caps. The entire video was not a psa, only at the end.
@@CrossifiXD he said it at the end after people watched the majority and gave him a lot of watchtime. Putting a “skull” and pretending it was real was enough
Truly and that's such a disappointing concept, cause I realized how his real fans aren't his real fans at all. Y'all got everything you were promised, video is about bigfoot and he talks and shares information about bigfoot, all I see is an animal enthusiast for a potential hidden primate species. He never claimed in the video bigfoot is real but he does claim that he hopes it is. He also showed the skull from the thumbnail so what's the issue?? Title never said they found it, it's not a statement at least so it can't be used as a valid reason to say he's lying. 10:12, he even gave y'all a disclaimer that it was going to be a hypothetical situation and yet somehow people still got mad. It's just so sad.
Just wanted to mention that you can like a TH-cam channel/creator and still criticize them when they do something wrong/sketchy that they shouldn’t be doing. A lot of channels become more corporate as they grow bigger and start to do stuff like this for more views and money. If you love the channel, then you should want to keep them honest, so call them out when you see something wrong like this. Don’t just brush it off snd say “it’s no biggie” because then they’ll just keep doing more and more stuff until the channel turns into something like Buzzfeed or Vice news essentially turned into. Lots of channels start our awesome, but if their audience doesn’t call out bad things when they see them, they just get greedy over time and go downhill. If you actually like the channel, don’t just defend everything they do, call out bad behavior and actually try and understand why it’s bad if you don’t get it instead of stubbornly continuing to defend them.
@@pvt_shane let me copy over the same reply I gave to someone else for this (ignore the “you’re not to blame” part, that was bc he was blaming himself for not seeing that part. You’re not included in that at all, kid.): You aren’t to blame, these disclaimers are supposed to be placed at the BEGINNING of a video, for more than a few seconds, and made VERY clear (as well as put in the description). He said one sentence 10 minutes in a 15 minute video that said this was a hypothetical situation. There is no indication in the thumbnail or title that this is hypothetical either. Lots of people don’t watch the whole video and skip here and there and TH-cam creators know this; heck the MAJORITY of viewers don’t finish the video from beginning to end. This is why it’s incredibly important to put these disclaimers at the beginning of the video in a very clear manner; these guys have been creating yt videos for a long time and know this but CHOSE not to do that to get more views and keep people watching the video. This is clickbait and it’s clear as day, which is why so many people are annoyed by it. You’re not supposed to present hypothetical situations like this on an educational channel, whether it be Discovery or brave wilderness. It was clearly made this way to garner more views, which is why so many people are expressing their distaste for this video. A lot of coyote fans/stans will try and defend this behavior (many, if not most, are kids who don’t understand that just because someone seems cool in a video doesn’t mean their production team won’t pull shady stuff for views...) but anyone who’s been on TH-cam for a long time and knows how the TH-cam game works can see this was clickbait and scummy behavior for a scientific channel such as this to employ.
For all the people say that this is clickbait,(which it is) in the description it says what it would look like if they hypothetically find a Bigfoot skull. Also at 10:12 he explains what’s gonna happen next. But he should’ve included something in the title saying that it is not real.
Yep! So really its just a fun thing, and they are horrible actors lol but yea he did say this is a what if scenerio so fair play of people arent paying attention
@@09simon16 Disclaimer or no disclaimer, he still hyped everyone up with the posts he made on Instagram, passing it off as ‘real’ and never even putting a disclaimer on the posts. This is okay to you?
Bigfoot has hands down got to be the greatest case of mythological mass hysteria in history. Y’all telling me that the USA could find a terrorist hiding in caves across an entire country, but can’t find a 9ft tall apeman in the age of 4K 60fps smartphones and satellite imaging.
I remember when this channel never click baited. The one time they did it was super obvious and coyote even said they wouldn’t clickbait and would remain authentic…
What clickbait? Y'all got everything he teased and showed, y'all saw the skull, he never claims it to be real, and bigfoot as creature, he never claimed it was real, although he did claim he'd hope for it be real because cool new primate species. He also gave you guys information about bigfoot, and didn't make any statements in the title or thumbnail, so he didn't lie about anything. At 10:12 he says it's hypothetical, and the description even says it. So where's the clickbait?
You really shouldn't have waited until halfway through the video to clarify that it wasn't real, especially with how cloudy the "clarification" actually was, where all you really did to say that it wasn't real was beforehand quickly note that it was a "recreation of a what-if scenario". It feels like you're misleading people for the purpose of getting views first, and making good content later.
My grandpa had several Bigfoot stories but there was one that never changed. He told the story both to me and dad and it never really changed until he got dimentia. Anyway, he was in the Sierra Nevada mountains driving down a road in the middle of the night. He saw this large ape walking across the road so he stops and grabs his gun but the thing just looks at him and bears it’s teeth so he thought “ That’s a mf you don’t want to mess with” so he turns around and leaves. But my grandpa hung out w the Hells Angels in the past and was associated with them and nothing really scared him but every time he told that story you can tell the fear in his face and his voice
This is shameful. I personally think there’s a lot of credible evidence for Sasquatch, but this… this is just clickbait. My only question is, is that a real Gorilla skull or a replica?
@@jurassicpark1fan920 you shouldn’t have to watch 10 1/2 minutes of a video to determine clickbait. That’s just a gross waste of viewers time. A simple title change would help.

They have them at zoos, museums, and have been featured on many Brave Wilderness videos. Death is just as natural as birth. They need to understand it, not taught to be terrified of it.
@@tszhoevanlai8911 Wowee, you must think Christians are a bunch of gullible idiots to think this is real and even if it was so what? A kid wouldn’t be scared either, they’d probably think it was awesome.
Way back when they called it witchcraft. Easy to think something you cant explain has mystical explanation. All bogus. All of it. Ghosts or sasquatch doesnt matter. Dont care if people believe. I believe in fact and theres no substantiated evidence for any of it. They just want your money.
What I find interesting is that when someone gets lost in the woods, and houndreds or even thousands of people go looking, but they find nothing. And that's a person that wants to be found. If someone wants to hide, you'll never find them.
I find you videos a inspiration to people that actually want to go out and eplore the wild, You should bring back your series where you get up close and personal with the animals.
The skull found could be a gigantopithecus skull. They were from the Pleistocene ice ages. Gigantopithecus thrived in the tropical forests of what is now southern China for six to nine million years. But around 100,000 years ago, at the beginning of the last of the Pleistocene ice ages, it went extinct-because in the changed climate its size had become a fatal handicap, a new study suggests. Or a different ape similar to the Gigantopithecus.
Nah, bro. Look at the back of the skull. The shape of that crest is unique to gorillas. Also the only fossils of gigantopithecus that have been found have been teeth and jaws. And they lived in Asia. And were much bigger. On top of that, the gorilla skull was planted there for the video.
I've been subscribed to this channel for 7 years. I hate to see the genuine nature of it diluted and replaced with all these sensationalized titles and thumbnails. It's been slowly and for a while getting more like a TH-camr who talks about animals than someone who actually wants to educate about animals and has a youtube channel. It's so processed and edited. For the longest time, I couldn't bring myself to unsubscribe, but today is the day. Wish we had the purity of guys like Steve Irwin back.
If he wanted to talk about animals he could have talked about how pretty and cute they look, and how much of a good boy they were. He's still educating us, telling us facts, and providing us great content. You seem to think he's like discovery channel or national geographics, no he's a youtuber that picked up the youtuber gig to share what he loves doing, and it's so processed and edited because they want the video to look good and be entertaining for your sake. Also the video is a part of psa, he explains it in his next upload, he may have clickbaited us, but he didn't lie. Clickbaiting and lying isnt the same, why do you think the video ends with a question mark, to bait us in with that title but it's no lie because it's not a statement, even by definition it's not a lie, and again he explains it in the next vid solidifying why it's not a lie.
Yeah definitely Gorilla or early hominid reguardless it looks obviously preserved. Being that deep in mud would hVe compacted it into something unrecognizable after a few weeks. That was planted.
Also FACT, the Sasquatch was found to have human Mitochondrial DNA and human Nuclear DNA, in the uncontaminated samples, with thousands of different samples . So the Sasquatch is not a primate, in fact its related more to us humans, FACT !

@@kingstonlouis4503 Yeah I actually found a cat skull ( we were at an RV park and someone probably lost their cat ) and it was on a bunch of fur with broken spine pieces and some on bones around, most stuck to the pelt and the skull wasn't almost completely spotless unlike coyote's, it still had some fur, fleshy parts and dirt patches ( though his had some mud on it ).
10:22 "Moving forward, we're going to create a 'what-if' scenario". They introduced it as a piece of fiction. As authentic as any other work of fiction.

That’s a gorilla skull, and it looks like the model from Bone Clones given a total lack of any taphonomic evidence. You also can’t move biological materials like that across international boundaries without all of the proper permits and paperwork from both countries. Claiming to be an anthropologist does not give you free reign to do whatever. You should see what we professional anthropologists are saying about this. I recommend looking up Natalia Reagan.
Long story made short: Decades ago I found myself alone deep in the wilderness with an injured leg. I made a camp in a dry space under a large rock outcropping in an arm of a densely forested valley. It was October and the air was cool; a light rain began to fall as day turned to night... "just great" I remember thinking, grimly. I quickly had a small fire crackling within a circle of stones under the rock shelter. I was barely mobile but I decided to gather as much wood as I could before it got too wet. To my dismay my small flashlight didn't work but I could see there was quite a bit of dead wood within the sickly, yellow light cast by the fire. I hobbled out into the rain and began groping about for as much wood as I could find. I was a dozen feet away from the shelter with my arms full of damp branches when the creature announced its presence. My mind scrambled trying to picture what was making the sound... at first I imagined a huge, crazy man. But the sound turned to a roar that was so intense it reverberated within my chest; and it seemingly went on and on until to my horror it morphed into a woman screaming. It was so loud my ears were ringing afterwards. The great beast, finally out of air, ended its warning with a squeak as it inhaled sharply. I figured it must have been standing on top of the rock that I'd chosen for shelter... perhaps twenty feet away but totally obscured by the inky, blackness beneath the forest canopy; the stars hidden by the storm clouds. I stood still as stone for a few long moments, my ears straining to hear movement on the rain-soaked forest floor. But the night was unnaturally quiet except for the patter of rain on leaves and a mountain rivulet that chortled over stones on its way down to meet a larger stream in the distance. I badly wanted my Smith & Wesson .45 which I'd tucked away in my pack after I set up camp. After the initial shock lifted I was filled with a surreal sense of peace when I realized I was literally stuck and couldn't do anything to remedy my situation; I'd describe it as resigned acceptance, like a skydiver who had a failure of both main and reserve chutes. At that very moment I was alone, unarmed, injured, and facing a large predator which was clearly unhappy with my presence. After a long minute I slowly edged the short distance to the shelter and dropped the sticks next to the fire and immediately retrieved my sidearm; I took a defensive position with my back against the stone wall under the shelter, the small fire before me. But the night passed uneventfully as I tried to doze by my small fire... In the many years that have followed I've researched EVERY sound made by predators in North America... and to this date I've never heard anything even close to what I heard that night. I kept that incident to myself for many years... but I'd really like to identify that creature...
@@113charlie7 Thanks for your interest but there's not much more to the account. I was an avid outdoorsman in my younger days and often hiked into remote areas; I studied topographical maps and often followed watersheds and game trails well away from areas visited by people, which was the case when I had the encounter with the unidentified creature. The day in question I had planned on hiking several hours to a specific location and returning well before nightfall; however, after I arrived at my destination I slipped among some large stones in the watershed of the heavily forested valley and hyper-extended my right knee. The pain was intense and my leg started swelling almost immediately; I knew within minutes that I wouldn't be able to walk out that day. I wasn't overly concerned due to the fact I always hiked with a well-stocked day pack and was experienced with woodcraft. It was a beautiful fall morning when I'd started but storm clouds were gathering by that time; rain was forecast for very late in the day. The watershed was wide and strewn with worn stones of every size and the water flow changed with the season; at that time the water was at its lowest point, easily crossed. However, it was clear from the debris left from high water that camping near this watershed could have deadly consequences. I didn't have a tent so I hobbled away searching for a place to stay dry for the night. As a kid I'd often dug under rock shelters looking for native American artifact and I knew specifically what I was searching for. The valley grew increasingly dark as the clouds grew thick overhead and the sun drifted farther west casting the whole valley in shadow. The first couple of places I considered too dangerous due to potential flooding so I painstakingly continued forward. The diminishing light fueled my great concern that I may get stuck without adequate shelter for the night; the potential for hypothermia was at the back of my mind which could quickly change a bad situation into life-threatening. I came across a spur or arm of the main valley which had a crystal clear rivulet flowing from it. I took a chance and followed it. I was relieved when I came across the perfect site, or so I thought, to weather the storm. After I'd set up camp I was greatly relieved and I'd resolved to enjoy the experience despite my injury. I'd planned on getting settled and resting my injury overnight, and to reevaluate in the morning. But little did I know that I'd stumbled into the domain of a large predator, and it was clearly upset with my presence there. I judiciously used the firewood I'd gathered and my little camp fire lasted the whole night; and I still get uneasy thinking about groping around for firewood in the sickly, yellow light of my camp fire while that beast watched me. By midmorning the next day the swelling in my leg had improved considerably and the pain had also diminished; And I carefully and cautiously began the long trek back to civilization with my sidearm in its holster but readily accessible within a moments notice. It was a full decade before I'd mentioned this incident to anyone, and they were a close family member. But I'd really like to figure out what type of creature I encountered that day. I'd researched all the known vocalizations of the predators in North America to no avail; next I considered an escaped exotic from Africa but I haven't found anything even close from that continent either. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Guys there’s no need for this. I love this channel because it’s based on facts and exploring the wonders of nature. I don’t want to see it become this superstitious channel built on clickbait and false expectations. I really dislike the Finding Bigfoot show because that’s what it’s all about and it’s on Animal Planet which is supposed to be all about facts.
There is nothing wrong with wanting to explore cryptic zoology. They never made the claim the bigfoot is real, in fact he made it clear that he hopes for it to be real, because there is no concrete evidence of such a thing. At 10:12 he literally stated that it's hypothetical. And if you watch the second part you'd realize it was a psa to spread awareness about what you should and shouldn't do with fossils and bones of exotic animals. So if you love this channel so much then you'd have realized from the beginning this was just lighthearted fun and entertaining content.
Saw the post about "smuggling through customs and TSA", which means it had to go through a scanner if TSA was involved. Hard to believe TSA wouldn't have picked up the skull going through a scanner. Going to be tough to come out of this one clean, even if it is a prank.
Why would they care though? I don’t understand why they mention it.
Also back when I was younger 5 years ago and was a drug addict, I snuck all sorts of schedule I on flights. I once had a knife I left in an old duffel bag for years (completely forgot about it) and it went undetected on a domestic flight. TSA sucks
Yeah you would think TSA actually does much, but they don't. That is why it is known as security theatre. There has actually been security people who had permission try to sneak items through TSA, multiple times they snuck through guns, with no problem. It's actually kind of frightening how incompetent they are.
I worked for them. 1000% certain they don't care if a skull goes through.
@Unintentional Failure I once went right through security in Thailand with a Thai enep in my carry on backpack. Think of a large curved knife like a kukri, 12 inches long. I actually realized I had it on me and panicked and went back and gave it to security because I didn't want problems down the road changing planes etc. Didn't get into any trouble since I turned it in and was honest. Wish I would have packed it properly though, it was a cool knife.

Just wanted to mention that you can like a TH-cam channel/creator and still criticize them when they do something wrong/sketchy that they shouldn’t be doing. A lot of channels become more corporate as they grow bigger and start to do stuff like this for more views and money. If you love the channel, then you should want to keep them honest, so call them out when you see something wrong like this. Don’t just brush it off snd say “it’s no biggie” because then they’ll just keep doing more and more stuff until the channel turns into something like Buzzfeed or Vice news essentially turned into. Lots of channels start our awesome, but if their audience doesn’t call out bad things when they see them, they just get greedy over time and go downhill. If you actually like the channel, don’t just defend everything they do, call out bad behavior and actually try and understand why it’s bad if you don’t get it instead of stubbornly continuing to defend them.

@@pvt_shane let me copy over the same reply I gave to someone else for this (ignore the “you’re not to blame” part, that was bc he was blaming himself for not seeing that part. You’re not included in that at all, kid.):
You aren’t to blame, these disclaimers are supposed to be placed at the BEGINNING of a video, for more than a few seconds, and made VERY clear (as well as put in the description). He said one sentence 10 minutes in a 15 minute video that said this was a hypothetical situation. There is no indication in the thumbnail or title that this is hypothetical either. Lots of people don’t watch the whole video and skip here and there and TH-cam creators know this; heck the MAJORITY of viewers don’t finish the video from beginning to end. This is why it’s incredibly important to put these disclaimers at the beginning of the video in a very clear manner; these guys have been creating yt videos for a long time and know this but CHOSE not to do that to get more views and keep people watching the video.
This is clickbait and it’s clear as day, which is why so many people are annoyed by it. You’re not supposed to present hypothetical situations like this on an educational channel, whether it be Discovery or brave wilderness. It was clearly made this way to garner more views, which is why so many people are expressing their distaste for this video.
A lot of coyote fans/stans will try and defend this behavior (many, if not most, are kids who don’t understand that just because someone seems cool in a video doesn’t mean their production team won’t pull shady stuff for views...) but anyone who’s been on TH-cam for a long time and knows how the TH-cam game works can see this was clickbait and scummy behavior for a scientific channel such as this to employ.
Bigfoot saw me and nobody believes him
For all the people say that this is clickbait,(which it is) in the description it says what it would look like if they hypothetically find a Bigfoot skull. Also at 10:12 he explains what’s gonna happen next. But he should’ve included something in the title saying that it is not real.

@@tszhoevanlai8911 Finding a previously unknown primate species would completely crumble a person's faith and religious beliefs?? If that is the case, their faith was never strong to begin with! New species of animals are discovered constantly. And why just Christian? What about the other religions?
Kids should have no fear of a skull of an animal, that's absurd. They have them at zoos, museums, and have been featured on many Brave Wilderness videos. Death is just as natural as birth. They need to understand it, not taught to be terrified of it.
@@tszhoevanlai8911 Wowee, you must think Christians are a bunch of gullible idiots to think this is real and even if it was so what? A kid wouldn’t be scared either, they’d probably think it was awesome.

It's a gorilla skull

You had me excited, as someone who actually had encounters with stuff I couldn't explain... I feel disappointed
Way back when they called it witchcraft. Easy to think something you cant explain has mystical explanation. All bogus. All of it. Ghosts or sasquatch doesnt matter. Dont care if people believe. I believe in fact and theres no substantiated evidence for any of it. They just want your money.

What I find interesting is that when someone gets lost in the woods, and houndreds or even thousands of people go looking, but they find nothing. And that's a person that wants to be found. If someone wants to hide, you'll never find them.

Wouldn't think I would see the day Coyote is now resorting to clickbait wow such a shame
It's not clickbait its just a joke video 💀
The skull found could be a gigantopithecus skull. They were from the Pleistocene ice ages.
Gigantopithecus thrived in the tropical forests of what is now southern China for six to nine million years. But around 100,000 years ago, at the beginning of the last of the Pleistocene ice ages, it went extinct-because in the changed climate its size had become a fatal handicap, a new study suggests. Or a different ape similar to the Gigantopithecus.
Why would it be found in North america?
Nah, bro. Look at the back of the skull. The shape of that crest is unique to gorillas. Also the only fossils of gigantopithecus that have been found have been teeth and jaws. And they lived in Asia. And were much bigger. On top of that, the gorilla skull was planted there for the video.
@@Miskeen-33 Because they existed in North America? ? ?

I've been subscribed to this channel for 7 years. I hate to see the genuine nature of it diluted and replaced with all these sensationalized titles and thumbnails. It's been slowly and for a while getting more like a TH-camr who talks about animals than someone who actually wants to educate about animals and has a youtube channel. It's so processed and edited. For the longest time, I couldn't bring myself to unsubscribe, but today is the day. Wish we had the purity of guys like Steve Irwin back.
Boohoo, wooh is me!
Like why? Why is this such a big deal? Explain please!
If he wanted to talk about animals he could have talked about how pretty and cute they look, and how much of a good boy they were. He's still educating us, telling us facts, and providing us great content. You seem to think he's like discovery channel or national geographics, no he's a youtuber that picked up the youtuber gig to share what he loves doing, and it's so processed and edited because they want the video to look good and be entertaining for your sake. Also the video is a part of psa, he explains it in his next upload, he may have clickbaited us, but he didn't lie. Clickbaiting and lying isnt the same, why do you think the video ends with a question mark, to bait us in with that title but it's no lie because it's not a statement, even by definition it's not a lie, and again he explains it in the next vid solidifying why it's not a lie.

Reads the comments: "...How dare you"
The size of it was a giveaway. If you believe the accounts, the skull would be huge.
Could of been juvenile sasquatch which average gorilla size
That was obviously a gorilla skull
Yeah definitely Gorilla or early hominid reguardless it looks obviously preserved. Being that deep in mud would hVe compacted it into something unrecognizable after a few weeks. That was planted.
Well could've been an ape that a escaped a zoo or transport vehicle of sorts.
There are no gorilla in Canada !
Also FACT, the Sasquatch was found to have human Mitochondrial DNA and human Nuclear DNA, in the uncontaminated samples, with thousands of different samples .
So the Sasquatch is not a primate, in fact its related more to us humans, FACT !

I'm a park Ranger so I've spent a lot of time in the woods. Sometimes when you come across a set of bear tracks the back foot makes a print that looks a lot like a giant human footprint.
How many years did you work as a park ranger?
How far deep into the woods have you travelled?

How many large mammals die each year approximately?

Guys the thumbnail or title should hint at this being fictional. I skipped through the video and missed the part where it is explained and was incredibly confused by this sort of content. Partially my bad, but I seem not to be alone with this
Maybe watch the whole video instead of skipping through before making a claim
I wouldn’t doubt this is fiction if it turns out it is tho
@@Rajclaw That's why I said I'm partially to blame, but if you produce a piece of fictional work you should make it clear from the beginning that it is just that. A lot of people already seem to take this seriously
Maybe watch the whole video first. That’s your fault not theirs. Bigfoot is literally fictional, that should be all you need
@@Rajclaw Well it seems you cannot claim to have watched it thru and paid attention either before you commented...
Then stop having the attention span of a gnat and watch the whole thing. Jesus Christ it ain't even that long. No wonder tik-tok is so popular.
That’s a gorilla skull, and it looks like the model from Bone Clones given a total lack of any taphonomic evidence.
You also can’t move biological materials like that across international boundaries without all of the proper permits and paperwork from both countries. Claiming to be an anthropologist does not give you free reign to do whatever.
You should see what we professional anthropologists are saying about this.
I recommend looking up Natalia Reagan.

Hi
Hi
All animal themed channels and shows eventually end up doing cryptid clickbait once they run out of content.
Long story made short: Decades ago I found myself alone deep in the wilderness with an injured leg. I made a camp in a dry space under a large rock outcropping in an arm of a densely forested valley. It was October and the air was cool; a light rain began to fall as day turned to night... "just great" I remember thinking, grimly. I quickly had a small fire crackling within a circle of stones under the rock shelter. I was barely mobile but I decided to gather as much wood as I could before it got too wet. To my dismay my small flashlight didn't work but I could see there was quite a bit of dead wood within the sickly, yellow light cast by the fire. I hobbled out into the rain and began groping about for as much wood as I could find. I was a dozen feet away from the shelter with my arms full of damp branches when the creature announced its presence. My mind scrambled trying to picture what was making the sound... at first I imagined a huge, crazy man. But the sound turned to a roar that was so intense it reverberated within my chest; and it seemingly went on and on until to my horror it morphed into a woman screaming. It was so loud my ears were ringing afterwards. The great beast, finally out of air, ended its warning with a squeak as it inhaled sharply. I figured it must have been standing on top of the rock that I'd chosen for shelter... perhaps twenty feet away but totally obscured by the inky, blackness beneath the forest canopy; the stars hidden by the storm clouds. I stood still as stone for a few long moments, my ears straining to hear movement on the rain-soaked forest floor. But the night was unnaturally quiet except for the patter of rain on leaves and a mountain rivulet that chortled over stones on its way down to meet a larger stream in the distance. I badly wanted my Smith & Wesson .45 which I'd tucked away in my pack after I set up camp. After the initial shock lifted I was filled with a surreal sense of peace when I realized I was literally stuck and couldn't do anything to remedy my situation; I'd describe it as resigned acceptance, like a skydiver who had a failure of both main and reserve chutes. At that very moment I was alone, unarmed, injured, and facing a large predator which was clearly unhappy with my presence. After a long minute I slowly edged the short distance to the shelter and dropped the sticks next to the fire and immediately retrieved my sidearm; I took a defensive position with my back against the stone wall under the shelter, the small fire before me. But the night passed uneventfully as I tried to doze by my small fire... In the many years that have followed I've researched EVERY sound made by predators in North America... and to this date I've never heard anything even close to what I heard that night. I kept that incident to myself for many years... but I'd really like to identify that creature...
Dude I would love to hear your story. You got a TH-cam channel or something
@@113charlie7 Thanks for your interest but there's not much more to the account. I was an avid outdoorsman in my younger days and often hiked into remote areas; I studied topographical maps and often followed watersheds and game trails well away from areas visited by people, which was the case when I had the encounter with the unidentified creature. The day in question I had planned on hiking several hours to a specific location and returning well before nightfall; however, after I arrived at my destination I slipped among some large stones in the watershed of the heavily forested valley and hyper-extended my right knee. The pain was intense and my leg started swelling almost immediately; I knew within minutes that I wouldn't be able to walk out that day. I wasn't overly concerned due to the fact I always hiked with a well-stocked day pack and was experienced with woodcraft. It was a beautiful fall morning when I'd started but storm clouds were gathering by that time; rain was forecast for very late in the day. The watershed was wide and strewn with worn stones of every size and the water flow changed with the season; at that time the water was at its lowest point, easily crossed. However, it was clear from the debris left from high water that camping near this watershed could have deadly consequences. I didn't have a tent so I hobbled away searching for a place to stay dry for the night. As a kid I'd often dug under rock shelters looking for native American artifact and I knew specifically what I was searching for. The valley grew increasingly dark as the clouds grew thick overhead and the sun drifted farther west casting the whole valley in shadow. The first couple of places I considered too dangerous due to potential flooding so I painstakingly continued forward. The diminishing light fueled my great concern that I may get stuck without adequate shelter for the night; the potential for hypothermia was at the back of my mind which could quickly change a bad situation into life-threatening. I came across a spur or arm of the main valley which had a crystal clear rivulet flowing from it. I took a chance and followed it. I was relieved when I came across the perfect site, or so I thought, to weather the storm. After I'd set up camp I was greatly relieved and I'd resolved to enjoy the experience despite my injury. I'd planned on getting settled and resting my injury overnight, and to reevaluate in the morning. But little did I know that I'd stumbled into the domain of a large predator, and it was clearly upset with my presence there. I judiciously used the firewood I'd gathered and my little camp fire lasted the whole night; and I still get uneasy thinking about groping around for firewood in the sickly, yellow light of my camp fire while that beast watched me. By midmorning the next day the swelling in my leg had improved considerably and the pain had also diminished; And I carefully and cautiously began the long trek back to civilization with my sidearm in its holster but readily accessible within a moments notice. It was a full decade before I'd mentioned this incident to anyone, and they were a close family member. But I'd really like to figure out what type of creature I encountered that day. I'd researched all the known vocalizations of the predators in North America to no avail; next I considered an escaped exotic from Africa but I haven't found anything even close from that continent either. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
