A study found: the truth about Bigfoot: "It's who we thought it was" - Voila! tourism. For decades, many believed that a large, hairy creature nicknamed Bigfoot (or Sasquatch) lived in, among other places, the forests of North America.
Now a study verifies that those who claimed to have seen it, saw something completely different. The likely culprit is the black bear. These bears are similar in size to humans and have sometimes been observed behaving and moving in ways similar to us.
