Honestly...I think that the Bigfoot thing is an old Indian urban myth. :-)
In reality...they're just too big to go unnoticed in an area that is a lot more widely travelled than the African bush was in 1902. And I believe this mostly because most large primates are omnivores...and if there's one thing human civilization of all sizes has produced...it's trash. If there really WAS a giant primate living in the American Northwest...why isn't it seen scavenging around food waste? Why is it always seen out in the middle of nowhere by anxious researches or beer-addled moose hunters? Because if it eats anything similar to what we eat...one would think we'd see it competing for food supply somewhere.
