#Bigfoot (also known as Chewbacca Sasquatch) is a mythical creature alleged by some to live in remote North American forests in the Pacific Northwest. As there is zero real evidence for the existence of Bigfoot, the study of the "beast" is considered to be a #pseudoscience. Bigfoot is also one of the more famous examples of #cryptozoology.
Bigfoot is sometimes described as a large, hairy, bipedal hominid creature, and many believe that this animal, or its close relatives, may be found around the world under different regional names, such as the #Yeti of Tibet and Nepal.
The most famous sighting is the 1967 Patterson-Gimlin film, which shows a hairy bipedal figure walking away from the camera.
A distant view of Ben Macdui, said to be home to Scotland's answer to the Sasquatch or Yeti. The legend of the Big Grey Man or Am Fear Liath Mòr dates back to an incident that took place on the mountain in 1891.

Une nouvelle BD, "A la recherche de l'homme sauvage", de Frédéric Bihel. Obsédé par un mystérieux "homme ombre" depuis son enfance, Augustin, un jeune Parisien décide de suivre la piste du yéti au fin fond de l’Himalaya. La référence à "Tintin au Tibet" est évidente, pourtant le récit est beau, prenant, le coup de crayon original et l'expérience, presque mystique. Aux éditions Delcourt. #BD#Litterature#Yeti#Monstre#Tintin#BandeDessinee
