It looks like a scrawny bear with mange.

I am a big 'believer' in Bigfoot (based primarily on the 1967 Patterson-Gimlin film), but I am also a rational skeptic. The creature in these Jacobs photos is inarguably /not/ a bear -- its proportions are completely wrong for ursine anatomy -- but it could be a human being in a suit.
If it is a suit, it's highly convincing and effective, given that it has extra-long arms (like other non-human primates), and given that there are bare patches visible under the arm (not the armpit, but along the triceps) -- exactly where one would expect little or no hair to grow.
It is decidedly not an ape of any species yet discovered (chimp, gorilla, orang or gibbon): its legs are too long and manlike. Thus, it is either 1) a guy in a really well-made suit; or 2) an as-yet unclassified non-human primate roaming the woods of rural Pennsylvania.
Ok, there people in here that are scaring me!
OMG! I see a UFO in the background too! Better get these pics on their site too.
I wonder if bigfoot is really an Alien and his ship is gonna pick him up after he takes a a big dump in PA!![]()
There is a small segment of Bigfoot research which does claim that this is not an undiscovered primate but an occupant or drop-off from UFO's. I don't think that's so but some have speculated that could be the case.
Anthony, you may know your bears, I certainly don't know much about bears, but it seems to me the proportions of this figure are way off for any bear. What seems to be shown in these pics is a very thin, lanky figure. The length of the arms and legs just don't seem to fit the proportions of a bear.
If anyone has seen the tv special Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science you may recall some family took video of a tall, thin, lanky Sasquatch in the woods on a holiday. This figure seems to resemble that figure more than anything else I can think of.

I believe in the possibility of Bigfoot, and I believe these pictures are worthless, unless you like pictures of skinny bear cubs.
A skinny, mangy bear.
That's the first time I have seen a bear like this but after seeing a clear daylight picture, that is exactly what it looks like to me.
I see no reason to not believe in the possibility of Bigfoot. This world may seem small, but it's not. There's still plenty of undiscovered areas, and it's a bit arogant to believe all animals that exists have been found and catalogued by humans. Yes, I believe the legends of Bigfoot, sasquatch, yeti, etc are based on "something". I'm just not smart enough to know what.
As for the photo, I believe it to be a real photo of SOME animal that was not expected to be in the area. Mangy bear, bigfoot, excaped circus ape, who cares? It's got people talking again about the possibility of there being something in this world we may not know about.
This world loses it's wonder everyday. Every new discovery brings a dulling of the wonder we all had as children before we learned better. I for one, am glad that a little bit of that can still exist, even at my age.
That's a good photo Anthony. I'd be more willing to say it was a bear if I saw some hint of a snout. I can see it go towards the bear possibility tho.
