Bigfoot. This mythical primate is said to live in the deep forests of North America
Bigfoot. This mythical primate is said to live in the deep forests of North America and Canada. The earliest American report of Bigfoot was made by the explorer David Thompson in 1811. Whilst in Canada, he came across a trail of human-like footprints measuring 35 centimetres by 20 centimetres. Since then, many others have claimed to have seen the creature or its prints. Some scientists believe that the bigfoot is the missing link between Homo sapiens and the monkey and ape species in the world today. However, despite many witnesses, no-one has yet caught a live creature or found a bigfoot body
