"Most people associate the word 'Bigfoot' or 'Sasquatch' with the fictional character seen in supermarket tabloids. Most people are not aware that the cartoonish 'Bigfoot' figure is a distorted product of ancient and modern stories describing a real, but unacknowledged species that is still occasionally observed today in North American forests. Stories about these animals extend far back into pre-history among linguistically distinct native American tribes. The modern existence of these animals is summarily dismissed by much of the scientific community. The subject is never given much consideration, for a variety of reasons which are almost completely unique to this mystery. The top skeptical argument is that physical remains of at least one specimen would have been delivered to scientists by the public by now. The vastness of the otherwise uninhabited territories, and the brevity of our own presence in the Americas, is rarely taken into full consideration by those who honestly argue from the skeptical perspective."
