What is a Sasquatch?

 

Well we don't really know what a sasquatch/bigfoot is. There are many theories

about this. One theory is that they could be and ancient ape called gigantopithecus blackie. Another

is that they could be some form of primitive man such as a neaderthal. There are even some that

believe that Sasquatch could be some type of extraterrestrial.

Sasquatch in North America:

​

Sightings of large hair covered hominoids occur all over the world but in North America these 

creatures are generally referred to as Sasquatch or Bigfoot. Reports of these large, bipedal, hair

covered creatures date back centuries and can be found in Native American lore and legend.                                                These

“wild men of the forest” are generally described as large bipedal creatures standing between 6 and

12 feet tall. They have a barrel chest, no neck, and a small pointed head. Their hair color is usually

described as brown to dark red-brown although some witnesses have described white or silver hair, possibly evidence of extreme age. Their foot prints are very distinct and show a track that resembles a very large human. The prints are generally between 14 and 16 inches in length.The Sasquatch of North America also has different names given by the locals it is sighted in. Some of these are the Florida Skunk Ape, the Ohio Grassman, and the Fouke Monster of Fouke Arkansas.
