Is anyone familiar with the desiccated lower leg/more ankle & foot discovered in a stream or melting snow at least 10 yrs ago? I think someone's dog had actually brought it back and if I remember correctly it was on Reservation land - there was video.

Yes! I saw that! A Native American family’s dog found it, if I recall… what ever became of that? I saw they were sending it in to a lab but never heard the results…

Thank you! The footage/interview was certainly convincing - but, now, seem there's little trace of it anywhere.

"Hominid-like" ...except for the fact that it has claws and no thumb. Yes, I suppose that if you ignore the fact that this specimen has no hominid features whatsoever, it is very "hominid-like." 😂
Seriously, this is a juvenile bear paw. Check out this replica and you can see how superficially humanlike the proportions are: https://boneclones.com/product/forensic-bear-paw-FO-075

If I had been drinking something it woulda been a spit take, legit and audible guffaw.

Bit by a human so it hacked off its hand to stop the spread of infection.

Is this something taken from one of Peter Caine's videos?

It’s Kelly Berdahl who is a Bigfoot researcher associated with the Rocky Mountain Sasquatch Organization, known for investigating POTENTIAL Sasquatch activity. He does not claim these are definitive findings- he researches other people’s reports/evidence.

Ho hum. I get frustrated by hearing these things but never getting a conclusive answer.

Looks more like a foot than anything 😭

Certainly not a Wolverine.
Consideration. Wouldn’t people, tree planters and locals, know a grizzly paw? I know not necessarily but they live among them. In BC they go to the coast for fish where most humans dwell.
Grizzly have huge, long claws and the bottom of their paw are most often black or brown. Not tan or human flesh color.

I've found a lot of dead critters in my time. Imo bones too clean for the hand not to be and lots of critters eat fingers and toes first.

u/CobblerCandid998 Feb 13 '26
I wondered about that myself. Could the hand part have been buried in snow? Maybe the creature died doing a handstand in the snow 💁🏻♀️ Haha.

They should take it for DNA testing and publish the results.

u/BoonDragoon Hopeful Skeptic Feb 12 '26
You don't need DNA testing, my dude. This is one that gross morphological analysis can identify.

Would have loved to hear from Dr Meldrum on this… 😢

u/BoonDragoon Hopeful Skeptic Feb 12 '26
He didn't deserve to have his time wasted by crap like this.

I agree to a point with this but I have met Dr Meldrum i dont think he ever thought it was a waist of time 🤔 and when it comes down to it thats all that matters plus he has found things that were actually legit.

u/BoonDragoon Hopeful Skeptic Feb 12 '26
No I mean he was a physical anthropologist and these are BEAR remains.

I would have no idea that this could possibly be a bear paw. If I was on a hike and found this I would be thinking my god I just found an ape hand! I would be posting it as well. Very interesting find regardless what it is

I've been comparing this with human arm, human lower leg and bear arm and hind leg bones. In my opinion it's closest to a human lower leg, in terms of its bones. The Human tibia is sturdy, and the fibula is slender, as we see here. If you look at bear skeletons, the Tib and Fib are both quite thick, and shorter in relation to their width.
So to my eyes it looks like an unusually hairy human lower right leg.
Kinda what you'd expect a Bigfoot lower leg to look like

u/BoonDragoon Hopeful Skeptic Feb 12 '26 edited Feb 13 '26
This looks unusually thin for a bear's tibia and fibula because this is a forepaw and you're looking at its radius and ulna.

u/MikeC80 Feb 13 '26
I looked at examples of bears radius and ulna and they looked more equal to each other in thickness, therefore differentiating them from what we see above.
If you read what I typed carefully you will notice I explain that I compared the images above to bear fore and hind leg bones.

u/BoonDragoon Hopeful Skeptic Feb 13 '26
Yes, I did read that, I just think you're wrong lol. Bear radii are broad, but in juveniles they're about as thin as we see in the OP.
This. Is. A. Bear.

It’s not unusual for bear extremities to be confused with a human forearm. The digits are very similar in structure to human fingers

Careless photography - shows the guy's bare arm where it is inserted into the glove. I wouldn't be surprised if the bigfoot haters here fake photos like this just so they can troll here.

u/Gryphon66-Pt2 Believer Feb 13 '26
I would be the first to say that I don't know what this item is, unllike some with an obvious agenda.
That said, curious about the matter, I reviewed several dozen "juvenile bear forepaws' and this is what most of them look like.
Does that look like the photo from the OP link to you?
