Bigfoot’s Buttocks: I’m among those who wonder if there’s a serious chance an unknown, large hairy hominid roams the most remote wilderness areas of the far west and northwest. Most accounts are scoffed at as hoaxes or misidentifications. It’s a pity that serious inquiry into the possibliities of unknown species is thwarted not so much by innocent credulity as by the deliberate play upon others’ credulity of sensation-seeking hoaxers. There have been numerous findings and castings of supposed footprints, but now a Bigfoot-hunting party has found the imprints of forearm, hip, thigh and heel in a muddy bank where the night before they had placed some tempting apples. The impression appears to be from a hairy hominid at least 2.5 meters (8 ft.) tall, according to an involved anthropologist. The team feels this is the strongest hint that Bigfoot exists.
