So what does buffalo hair have to do with hair that's DNA tested and found to be an unknown species of primate living in North America?
Would you care to provide a reputable link showing an instance in which a hair was found and determined via DNA to be from an "unknown species of primate living in North America"?

Nope.
Oh, wait. Now I gotta find a link huh? Do you think I just made that up? Actually I saw it on TV, on a channel such as The Discovery Channel, or TLC. I can look for a link if it makes you feel better, but then, I think you could look for your own link.
"declaring the hair "as being that of an unknown primate"
""the hairs did not match specimens from any known animal species and that they had some characteristics common to both humans and nonhumans." "

"....hair samples found in association with encounters that scientists have determined to be of unknown primate origin; and recorded vocalizations that bioacoustics analysts have determined to be of unknown primate origin."

"" All you'd like. Are you telling me they pulled this out of their ass to post on their site?
That does seem to happen a lot when people find a "cause" that has more to do with faith than fact.
Or was I supposed to sit here for hours and find more?
Cartainly not, I just expected that you had a source handy since you made the claim in the first place. Imagine if the sources that you linked "heard that fact" somewhere as well. A lot of "facts" can be traces to one guy making one thing up on a board much like this one. Eventually it works its way into other places and those start getting cited as sources.
Check out some of the stats on the Brady center page etc. A *lot* of those facts are random ignorant statements made by people in front of news cameras. Well, Brady picks up that statement and represents it on their page. Now other antigun groups can use that as a source. This is how some random ignorant individual can actually become an indirect source for some of the less reputable "scientific research" that we are flooded with these days.
