Is Sasquatch myth or missing link? First Nationslegends abound with haunting tales of a giant,human-like creature lurking in the mountainforests of Canada's Yukon, British Columbia andnorthern Ontario.
They are not alone. In Asia, people claim to haveseen Yeti, and in the western United States,witnesses describe a very similar Bigfoot-a veryfast, very hairy and strong "ape-man" walking ontwo feet, "As big as a bear standing on its hindlegs," they say. Sasquatch is reputed to standabout 3 m (10 ft) tall and weigh 227 kg (500lb)-and looking at the huge footprints it leavesbehind, believers say the truth can't be far off.What do you think?
