Bigfoot, also called Sasquatch, is thought to be a large, hairy, ape-like being that inhabits some of the dense forests and remote mountain ranges of North America. Although solid, scientific evidence of the creature is lacking, stories of sightings and encounters have been steadily accumulating throughout the years.

As a result, Bigfoot has been placed in the category of so-called "cryptids" - creatures that are thought by some to exist on Earth, but have yet to be properly documented by modern science.

Others in this category include the mysterious, waterborne, dinosaur-like being popularly known as "the Loch Ness monster," as well as the goat-eating Chupacabra of South America.

Due to the sheer volume of eyewitness accounts involving Bigfoot, most people in the Western hemisphere recognize the general description of this creature. What few may realize, however, is that the Sasquatch is not unique to North America. Or, at least, stories of mysterious, bipedal hominids are not.

From the mountainous regions of Nepal to the wild outback of Australia, tales of such beings have existed throughout history. In many cases, the descriptions of these creatures seem to match Bigfoot.

So, then, a few questions naturally arise:

Are these all part of a singular, long-lost species of great ape, or are they separate beings with different genetic lineages?

How similar are they to each other, where do they to live, and is there any evidence of their existence?

In this book, we will explore these questions, and many more, as we go through fascinating accounts of sightings, encounters, and possible findings relating to the many elusive ape-like cryptids of our world.
