Complete description

a large, hairy, muscular, bipedal ape-like creature, roughly 23 metres (6ft


7in9ft 10in) covered in hair described as black, dark brown, or dark
reddish. Bigfoot described large eyes, a pronounced brow ridge, and a large,
low-set forehead; the top of the head has been described as rounded and
crested, similar to the sagittal crest of the male gorilla, with a strong,
unpleasant smell. The enormous footprints for which it is named are claimed
to be as large as 24 inches (60cm) long and 8 inches (20cm) wide. Some
footprint casts have also contained claw marks, making it likely that they
came from known animals, such as bears, which have five toes and claws.
Proponents claim that Bigfoot is omnivorous and mainly nocturnal.
