Bigfoot? Photo by Patterson-Gimlin film (Wikimedia)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There is no way a Mythical Wild Facts week would be complete without talking about the Sasquatch.\u00a0 Of course this animal is better known as Bigfoot.\u00a0 I put this hairy, human-like creature into the same category as Nessie the Loch Ness Monster.\u00a0 Both of these creatures seem to have blurry photographs and countless sightings.\u00a0 So, does Bigfoot exist?\u00a0 Let’s learn a little more and you can come up with your own answer at the end of the Wild Fact.<\/p>\n

The Sasquatch is an ape-like creature that supposedly inhabits the forests of North America, particularly the Pacific Northwest.\u00a0 Hey, wait a minute!\u00a0 I live in the Northwestern portion of North America.\u00a0 Perhaps i should start an expedition when I get back from holidays.\u00a0 You are more than welcome to join me on my search for Bigfoot.\u00a0\u00a0 Of course scientists have discredited Bigfoot and believe that it is just a mix of folklore, mis-identification and hoaxes.\u00a0\u00a0 Although, some researchers such as the famous Jane Goodall (known for her work with monkey’s) has expressed interest and the possible belief that Bigfoot exists.\u00a0 Knowing that Jane Goodall has entertained their possible existence goes a long way with me.\u00a0 Maybe the Sasquatch really does exist.<\/p>\n

The legend of Bigfoot extends back into the folklore of the indigenous people of the Pacific Northwest.\u00a0 The stories of the “Wildmen” differed regionally and between families in the same community but nonetheless the stories existed way back then.\u00a0 In 1951, the first footprint of Bigfoot was recorded, which garnered considerable attention and started the stories of the Sasquatch that we know and love today.<\/p>\n

In 1958, Bigfoot was in the media again when Wilbur L. Wallace and his crew brought forward a cast of some very large footprints they discovered while working in an area near Bluff Creek, California.\u00a0 This appeared to be decent evidence but after Wallace’s death, his children came forth with a set of 16″ wooden footprints which apparently were used to make those tracks.\u00a0 Now if those footprints would have been discovered between 1996 and 2004, I would have just said they belonged to Shaquille O’Neal who was playing for Los Angeles at the time.<\/p>\n

Over the years there have been many more sightings which provide some anecdotal evidence towards the existence of the Sasquatch.\u00a0 Of course, it is possible that these people have simply mis-identified the creature.\u00a0 For example, a bear standing on its hind legs would resemble Bigfoot from a distance. So, what do you think?\u00a0 Some prominent researchers believe in the possibility of Bigfoot existing, do you?<\/p>\n

Only one more Mythical Wild Fact left.\u00a0 Be sure you stop by tomorrow since it could very well be the last mythical animal ever found on Wild Facts.\u00a0 Have a great day everyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
