As the shroud of evening wrapped its dark arms around Teslin, Canada a late night visit in July of 2005 created an international stir. It was, however, not your normal evening visit. In the wilderness of Canada’s British Columbia territory several other similar incidents have recently reawakened the debate over the legendary Sasquatch. Every so often this reclusive creature will rear its head and people will scramble to get a glimpse of the purported giant bipedal primate. Cryptozoologist’s have been tracking this elusive creature for years and now, during this most recent round of sightings, may have found a breakthrough.
Although indigenous cultures of the North have passed down, in oral tradition, the legend of the Sasquatch there has not been much more evidence than these eyewitness accounts. In a fortuitous turn of circumstance there may now be supporting evidence for the existence of this creature. Witnesses to the incident in Teslin remarked that they had seen a large human-like bipedal creature run past their rural home. They heard fallen branches snapping and found strange footprints in the area as well. During a visit to one of the sites where there was reported Bigfoot activity the investigating crew of Cryptozoologist’s found what may be hair samples from a yet unidentified species of animal.
A wildlife geneticist from the University of Alberta agreed to perform analytical testing and compare the hair sample from the Sasquatch sighting area to that of other large animals such as bison and bears, which are abundant in that geographic local. It had been noted that if a Sasquatch had indeed been in the area the DNA sample would probably prove to be a closer match to a primate such as a gorilla rather than to some of the other native animals in the region.
As it turns out, the hair sample found at the Bigfoot site was analyzed over the period of a week and was found to be a 100% compatible match to bison DNA. Although this may seem to discredit the existence of such a creature it does not explain what witnesses have experienced during their encounters with the Sasquatch nor does it offer any insight on the strange tracks left imprinted in the earth at the site.
Continuing on undaunted Cryptozoologists know that truth is stranger than fiction and with that the search for the elusive creature continues……
