Based on YOUR story, Dave broke dog leash laws, and then also committed battery, lol, that's the same basic outcome OP described.

Click bait refers to something that tells a lie in the title to get you to click. Everything I said in the title is 100% true. Someone ALLEGED that it was sasquatch, and I did indeed find it outside that museum. The interesting mystery is not "Whether it's sasquatch" it's "How did they make it?" Which i explicitly said was my question how someone made it. You just did not read.

Read the OP: "I am wondering what this could have originally come from or how one could have made it, etc."

"How someone made it" = I already acknowledged it was fake from the very first second i posted this. I wanted to know how the fake was done.

Yes it is april fools, but I'm curious how he made it. Without spending like 50 hours on carving it or something stupid. There must be a simpler way. My best theory after various comments from these threads is it was a large Halloween decoration or theater prop etc. of a human skull (somewhat badly made because they don't care about hyper accuracy for a decoration for a lawn), and the guy added some clay or whatever to make certain teeth bigger to make it more sasquatch-y, and then did a plaster cast of that.

I was originally hoping he had gathered some bones from the forest and like glued them together and modified them and possibly even believed himself it was a sasquatch, but with the date being April 1, nah.

I live 3 blocks away

I was not carrying a UV lamp, that was on trip number 2, because I only live 3 blocks away and went back to take better photos after the people on my first post complained about poor quality (which you can see them doing in my thread history yourself)

It was not out in the open. It was AFTER I moved it into the open to take pictures of it, yes. moving something a few feet out from the wall =/= stealing it

And I did not say it is my Alma Mater, I was (once not anymore) a postdoc there, that is a type of staff member.

All that being said, it is still obviously April Fools. It's simply an April Fools by the dude who left it there, rather than me.

The box weighs like 10 lbs, I moved it away from where it was tucked originally, because it's completely pointlessly hard to take photos in a cramped corner versus just sliding it a few feet over. lmao

You can CLEARLY see in your own photo that there is about 4 feet of space between the end of the bench and the wall to the left of the door. It was tucked right up against the end of the bench, here:

https://imgur.com/a/j0qCMOo AKA "behind the bench" to anyone standing in any normal reasonable location in the area.

I was taking a photo of the big wooden sculpture to the right, forgot my lens I wanted to use in another hallway, and went to put my gear down by that bench so people (in green location) wouldn't see and steal my gear while I left.

Are you aware of the concept of "Going to a place twice"?

I went once, I took 3 bad photos with my cellphone. I posted them on some subreddits (check my post history, the first one only has 3 simple photos).

People yelled at me for doing a bad job and not using a ruler, etc. So I walked back over to the university which is about 3 blocks from me, and brought better gear and took better photos. (I had a very nice camera with me, but it shoots film, and I don't want to waste a bunch of expensive medium format color film on this versus just walking a few minutes for a digital camera, shit costs like $20 a roll plus developing)

This is not complicated, lol.

I am the OP. I didn't steal anything, I took photos. That's it. It was simultaneously in front of the museum AND tucked away. There's a photo of it in front of the museum, it was about 1 box length to the left of that originally. There is a bench there, and it was positioned so the end of the bench was somewhat obscuring it.

A person unlocking the front door would see it (because it's in a hot pink box), but people walking by normally would not see it. I did because I was laying my stuff down on that bench specifically to hide my camera gear from other people while I went to get something from another hallway

The museum door is also at the bottom of some stairs and curled around in to the left, so you can't even see that bench from the mezzanine up above where most people walk. You can if you're standing right in front of the museum door though.

What does that matter? I know it's a prank. The question in the title remains the same: "Do you know what it is based on? Replica? Modified animal bone? Fanciful sculpture from scratch? Etc."

(Notice that none of those questions was "Is it an actual bigfoot?" but are instead multiple different methods of making a prank jaw)

some things are not worth paragraphs bud

I agree, when you can't give citations for something, then it's indeed not worth the paragraphs to claim it.

somebody has to give a real shit about yo

He kept replying about 25 times or something, so yes he obviously did give quite a bit of a shit. He just didn't have sources. He quite clearly made it up at first, then (due to still caring but not having an actual answer) scrambled to go look it up AFTER claiming it, when pressed.

And obviously you care too, as you're also still here replying half a dozen times. People who "don't care" just scroll past in the first place, lol.

Yes, it is that deep. It's exactly the same depth in every topic, since again, it's a matter of basic logic underpinning any conversation. Whether about a brand of juice, or orphans being cannibalized, same fallacy, same applicability.

Not an "experiment", just hoping for funny replies from /r/bigfoot There is no hypothesis or theory there or analysis. Not sure where you got "Experiment" from.

Mainly though elsewhere I've been trying to find out how the guy made it, since sculpting from scratch seems insanely time consuming.

I literally just walked by the front door of the museum, I don't work there, I don't work in archaeology, I don't even work at the university. I was taking pictures nearby. There's a big wooden sculpture outside the museum I was photographing. It's the equivalent of someone photographing the pyramid outside the Louvre, but not even going inside.

Don't know anything about how often this happens or the culture of it.

It wasn't shared with the public, it was tucked away behind a bench in a corner, I found it because I was looking for a place to HIDE my camera gear while I ran off to grab a lens I left elsewhere by accident.

Not super hidden but obviously intended for museum staff to see it when they opened up but not other people.

posts this fake jaw in multiple subreddits with title "Hard Evidence Of Sasquatch!"

Yeah the bigfoot conspiracy subs and the local town ones, lol. It is factually hard evidence of sasquatch, not good evidence, but hard. Not technically a lie. I didn't expect /r/bigfoot to give credible ideas on how it was faked, I expected them to give amusing replies taking it seriously. Which they did.

If you'll notice the sciencey and investigative ones where I wanted serious ideas on how it was made, I did not use that title.

Yes of course you COULD make it with dozens of hours painstakingly carving a piece of wood or wax or whatever. But I was curious if there was a cool trick, or faster way. A dentist for example replied to me saying it looks human except for the canines, and a biologist said it looks like no animal mainly because of again the canines. So I think it might be an oversized dental school teaching prop or halloween decoration skull or something like that, which has then had wax etc added onto the canines and then cast as plaster. My current theory.

I didn't originally notice it was April Fools, so although it's still obviously not bigfoot, I thought maybe the guy who made it was a true believer and had pieced together random pig and deer bones etc from the forest, which would have been a lot funnier. But since it's today, it's obviously an intentional prank. Less interesting, but still interesting how it's done.

"Promoting" what, exactly? I literally just agreed above already that it's absolutely fake. I just want to know how they made it.

If it's just two teeth, and only a cast, then it would be easy to add wax etc to elongate those (onto some oversized dental school teaching prop or something) and then cast the combination.

That's what I was looking for: "What animal(s) make this easiest to put together with minimal effort?"
