Tracking a mysterious creature from Canada’s North.
Is Sasquatch myth or missing link? First Nations
legends abound with haunting tales of a giant,
human-like creature lurking in the mountain
forests of Canada’s Yukon, British Columbia and
northern Ontario.
They are not alone. In Asia, people claim to have
seen Yeti, and in the western United States,
witnesses describe a very similar Bigfoot—a very
fast, very hairy and strong “ape-man” walking on
two feet, “As big as a bear standing on its hind
legs,” they say. Sasquatch is reputed to stand
about 3 m (10 ft) tall and weigh 227 kg (500
lb)—and looking at the huge footprints it leaves
behind, believers say the truth can’t be far off.
