The Existence of Bigfoot George Bernard Shaw once said, “All great truths begin as blasphemies.” One might associate this when it comes to the “myth” regarding Bigfoot. Bigfoot, also known as a Sasquatch or Yeti, is described to be a Bi-pedal Humanoid. According to the North America Bigfoot Search website, the species ranges from seven to nine feet tall, 600-800 pounds, and can run up to a speed of thirty-five miles per hour. Its strength is equivalent to fifteen humans, and is covered in hair that can be brown, black, red, grey, or white. Their day vision is average, while their night vision and sense of smell are remarkable. A sasquatches’ ability to swim is surprising. A Bigfoot …show more content…
They are also known for their uncanny interest in children. David Paulides mentions in his research, “We have investigated many cases where Bigfoot has walked directly up to young kids and appears to understand that kids offer no threat. They are probably as interested in us as we are of them but they understand that adults can cause them great harm, thus shy away. Children are different, they are inquisitive, have a smell and a voice different then adults, they are distinct. In documented cases where children have showed no fear, Bigfoot will make repeated appearances in an apparent attempt at friendship.

For three years she lived like this. However, over the course of those years, she became tamer. After this, she was moved to a bigger space so she could wander. Zana never wandered too far though, because she knew her source of food was there. As she grew more mature, the villagers became less intimidated. She would continue to be teased and laughed at by the villagers. When they would throw sticks at her face and scoff, she would seize them and howl. They described her as having black skin with thick reddish-black hair that covered her whole body. Descriptions of her always remained the same. They claimed that her face was horrifying due its broadness, “high cheekbones, and flat nose, turned out nostrils, muzzle-like jaws, wide mouth with large teeth, low forehead, and eyes of a reddish tinge. But the most frightening feature was her expression which was purely animal, not human,”
