Have you ever heard of the legends of Bigfoot? Ever wondered if he was real, What do you think. There have been “sightings” of Bigfoot for millennium and they still continue today. The first question that we should ask ourselves is what is Bigfoot? In legends Bigfoot is a six foot tall monster that is similar to an ape/monkey and a human. Bigfoot (also known as Sasquatch) is the name given to a mythological simian, ape, or hominid-like creature that is said to inhabit forests, mainly in the Pacific Northwest. In American folklore, Bigfoot is usually described as a large, hairy, bipedal ( an animal using two legs for walking) humanoid.
Here is a story from Albert Ostman: He had gone into the mountains …show more content…
“A lot of them turned out to be very ordinary animals in their natural habitats,” Sykes says. As the team reports July 1 in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B, supposed yeti and bigfoot samples turned out to come from bears (brown, black and polar), horses, raccoons, one human, some canines (the test didn’t narrow down if they were wolves or dogs), cows, sheep, a North American porcupine, a Malaysian tapir and a serow, which is a known animal similar to a goat or antelope.
But two hair samples from the Himalayas were a surprise. These hairs, both brownish in color, perfectly matched a short stretch of DNA once extracted from the jawbone of a 40,000-year-old polar bear. The hairs did not match modern polar bears. One hair came from an animal shot 40 years ago in Ladakh, India, by a hunter who reported that it behaved differently from typical brown bears. The other was collected about 10 years ago in Bhutan, 600 to 800 miles from Ladakh.” In conclusion I think that bigfoot is real. There have been countless witnesses all over the world and there are far too many sightings to them be fake. There are many scientists that have looked into this matter and found scientific proof. Take into example the Albert Ostman story and countless other sightings. I think that there have been far too many scientific things as well to prove this
