A supernatural creature living in the forested mountain regions of North America. Most sightings are reported in Washington, Oregon, California, Texas, British Columbia, and Alberta, but sightings occur throughout North America and similar primates have been and continue to be sighted worldwide.

Descriptions of bigfoot are relatively consistent. According to thousands of eye witness accounts they stand between 6 to 10 feet tall with the females tending to be smaller. They are bipedal, have a pointed head and sloping forehead with a prominent brow ridge.

The body is completely covered by hair except for the palms of the hands, soles of the feet, and the face. The hair color ranges from black to dark brown or auburn, the older creatures are gray or white. The eyes are deep set and are usually brown with an unmistakable spark of intelligence.

Bigfoot is a gentle man-like creature that when encountered will most likely simply turn and walk away. If you are lucky enough to come across a Bigfoot you are probably not in any danger, you should take a picture and then do as they do - calmly turn and walk away.

They may be living Gigantopithecus Blacki, a species of ape believed to be extinct for 100,000 years, or they may be aliens.

Bigfoot is also correctly known as sasquatch, however, the term bigfoot is often incorrectly used to refer to any variety of the other fabulous primates.
