that felids and alpha canids make on the ground immediately after scent marking a tree, bush, etc. with urine. Both males and females among the felids do such scratching, but only the alpha male and alpha female of a pack of canids do it. The subordinate canids do not.
Granted, it's a really far stretch to extend the above to bigfoot, a primate (if it exists.) Oddly, though, I read a witness report just last night (sorry, I can't remember which of the 3 major databases it was on) that mentioned "scratch marks" on the ground in conjunction with other possible bigfoot evidence.(!?!)
I'm very uncertain whether to even think about such scratches, or to just ignore them. Could they be some sort of bigfoot evidence? Why? Why not? Might they be seen more often if witnesses who returned to look for footprints the day after a sighting knew to check for "scratches," too? I find the thing intriguing, that's all.
Mark said the scratches had been made in his vehicles tire tracks. To me, it seems almost as if it was showing its dominance by leaving ITS OWN "mark" ON TOP OF the "marks" Mark had left behind in ITS TERRITORY!
The only "factual" material in this post is in the first paragraph. The rest of it is just my personal musings. It doesn't even qualify as conjecture or speculation, so please don't take these thoughts and make anything more of them than what they are--just something that intrigues me, personally. Let's prove whether or not Sasquatch even exists first!
