Big Foot

Pacific Northwest cryptid

Bigfoot is a large, ape-like creature supposedly inhabiting remote forests of North America, especially the Pacific Northwest.

Also called Sasquatch.

Despite numerous alleged sightings and blurry photographs, no scientific evidence confirms its existence.

Bigfoot occupies the same cryptozoological territory as the Yeti and Loch Ness Monster—creatures more folk legend than biology.

He claims he saw Bigfoot while camping in Oregon.
