BIGFOOT-FACTS
By: Shyan Burrell  04-19-2002
For many years people even thought that the Mountain Gorilla, which got up to 600 pounds was a mythical beast until 1903 when a man named Oscar Von Beringe killed one in Africa, he then displayed it in Europe.
   Some people believe that the Bigfoot is a variant of the Asian monster, "Gigantopithecus." They have found skulls of this creature in Asia that is thought to be a "Man-Ape", 9 feet tall and weighing 600 pounds. It hid from humans-Homo erectus in the valleys of the Himalayas. Just like our Bigfoot which has eluded hunters for so long.
   It is conceivable that, with 10% of the Earth's land surface still unexplored, many unknown creatures may remain to be discovered, as well as Ocean bottoms.
   Scientists and regular everyday men have found hair samples, teeth (twice the size of Gorilla teeth but in the same family), foot prints, film and photos of an unknown "Man-Ape" or an "Evolutionary hermit."
   There have been Thousands of sightings of a large Ape that walks like a man, Thousands of reports from hunters who were deep in the woods and could hear monstrous screams unlike anything they have heard before, reports of a fowl oder unlike anything they have ever smelled in the woods before. One of the first recorded sightings came from a British Army Major named L. A. Waddell in 1889.
