Geez, huge sucker. Why couldn’t it be possible that an offshoot has survived and that’s what we’re calling Sassquatch or Bigfoot?
forget bigfoot - we call it Michelle
That's been one of the hypotheses for a long while now -- the main impediment has been, no type specimen of Bigfoot, and without that, it will *never* be accepted as a real species (or as seems likely, more than one species).
