High in the Rocky Mountains at Idaho State University, research is conducted by an atypical scientist - cryptozoologist Jeffrey Meldrum, who devoted himself to an unusual task: using scientific research methods, he decided to prove, that the mythical Bigfoot is alive. Sasquatchanakwa is described as a muscular creature slightly resembling a monkey, and a bit of a man, who lives somewhere in inaccessible forests on the border between Canada and the United States. At all, who allegedly saw him, he made an amazing impression: muscular, over two meters tall and weighing even 500 Kilograms! The Indians who already lived there talked about the creature roaming this area, who named him Sasquatch, which in their language means the same as "hairy giant".
Proofs of existence
So far, no credible evidence has been presented to prove the existence of this strange King Kong, for no being of that species was found alive or dead, nor the fossils of her ancestors. The most common sign of a Sasquatch's presence is footprints, and also handprints with fingerprints, hair and eyewitness testimony. One of the theories says, that all these clues are merely the product of one or more jokers.
In such a rather frivolous atmosphere, Meldrum conducts his very serious research. Against the background of the confusion around Sasquatchanakwa, he is distinguished primarily by the fact, that he is considered a recognized anthropologist and specialist in the ways of monkey movement. In his highly popular scientific publications, he analyzes numerous pieces of evidence for the existence of this mysterious creature: for example, footprints - sized to match your size 61, which are said to have been imprinted in the mud in various places. The scientist doesn't believe it, that in each of these cases we are dealing only with pranksters. – The likelihood of counterfeiters collusing over such a vast area for several decades is very small, he says.
In his latest book, Meldrum wants to dispel all doubts. He selected all the similarities of the collected finds and analyzed their form and the depth of the prints. – I found very clear traces. To fake them, you would need a great deal of knowledge about the dynamics of the foot and the expansion of the fingers - the researcher assures. He also developed a theory about the appearance of Bigfoot in American forests: he is to be a descendant of the gigantopithecus, which in the period from 13 000 do 14 000 years ago he came from Asia through the Bering Strait - the first human visitors came here the same way, who populated America.

Meeting with Bigfoot
For the first time, Meldrum saw Bigfoot in 1967 year, when, together with the audience in the cinema, he trembled at the sight of a huge immense immortalized for a few seconds in an amateur film, a hairy creature following a forest path. Its author is rodeo rider Robert Patterson, who died of cancer in 1972 years and still on his deathbed he assured, that the recording is real. Meldrum still considers them to be evidence of exceptional importance: – If it's authentic, it is the most surprising nature film of all time.
To prove your point, commissioned traffic specialists to carry out an expert opinion on this short film material, He even hired special effects experts from Disney. The conclusion of the chief "big-footologist" is: no human is able to move as presented in the guise of a monkey. However, all this does not convince the opponents of the Bigfoot theory, who mock Meldrum's actions. The news about the researcher's expedition to Canadian forests sparked a wave of mockery, where he spent the night in a decaying fishing hut by Snelgrove Lake, accompanied by a few adherents of his theory.
It was additionally fueled by strange accounts of one of the participants of the expedition, as if at night the hut was thrown with stones by a purring creature. According to eyewitnesses of the event, a bear would not be capable of such a precise attack. Professionals made jokes, thereby forcing the already very irritated Meldrum to speak: – Skeptics warming their comfortable armchairs do not even have the faintest idea, how strong evidence can be found in these forests.
Ian Redmond, a British biologist and monkey expert, recently added fuel to the fire, who, in his opinion, found hair from a descendant of Gigantopithecus. After the first microscopic examination, Redmond was convinced, that he found a trace of Sasquatchanakwa. However, the examination of the DNA sample left no illusions: they are by no means of any mysterious creature. They come from an ordinary mountain goat.
