BIGFOOT: A REAL CREATURE?

Hi friends!

In this article I am going to write about "Bigfoot", also known as "Sasquatch". The name "sasquatch" is a derivative of the word "Sésquac", meaning "wild man". However, the name "bigfoot" was created by journalists. Most of the scientists say that bigfoot is not a real creature, but other people say that it is a real element and there are very developed descriptions.

Description:

The sasquatch is a large, hairy, bipedal non-human primate, ranging between 1.8–3.0 m tall, weighing in excess of 230 kg and covered in dark brown hair. The top of the head has been described as rounded and crested, similar to the male gorilla. The sasquatch has blue eyes, the nose is nearly human in shape and the mouth is often reported to be thin-lipped. The enormous footprints for which it is named have been as large as 61 cm long and 20 cm wide. Bigfoot is commonly reported to have a strong, unpleasant smell.


Physiology and behaviour:

Bigfoot is an omnivore with a substantial carnivorous component to its diet. The sasquatch is a predominantly nocturnal animal because it has very good vision at night. They seem to react in a more relaxed way to women and children and avoid men, but there is no documented case in the past 100 years of a sasquatch doing deliberate harm to a person. The sasquatch is distributed across the North American continent. Their highest concentration appears in Washington, Oregon and northern California. Total numbers for the species in North America have been estimated by various approaches to be from a few thousand up to 10,000.


Bigfoot sighting:

There are lots of bigfoor hunters. These hunters have found different footprints and samples of hair and blood, but these pieces of evidence are very polemic. Probably the most polemic one is the video filmed by Roger Patterson and Robert Gimlin on October 20, 1967.

In my opinion, bigfoot is not a real creature, I think that it is a legend created by journalists. Some people say that there is"physical evidence", but I think that this evidence is not enough, because they haven't found any skeleton of a bigfoot. This is my opinion, but only it is my opinion. What do you think? Is bigfoot a real creature?
