To date, the sasquatch has never been confirmed by science to exist as a real animal in its own right; eyewitness accounts provide the only description, which can vary to some degree.  The majority state that it is large and bipedal, standing between 6 and 9 feet tall, and covered completely with course, dark-reddish or brown hair.  The ape-like head is said to sit directly upon the shoulders, with no neck visible, and is sometimes crowned with a sagittal crest.  An extremely-foul odor has also been claimed by witnesses, giving the sasquatch the derisive name of ''skunk ape''.

The closest animal fitting this description, at least for those convinced of the sasquatch’s existence, is the extinct anthropoid ape ''Gigantopithecus blacki'', which is known from a few molars and the frontal part of a lower mandible found in southern China.  Current scientific consensus states that ''Gigantopithecus'' was a quadruped, and not bipedal as the sasquatch is claimed to be.  Despite the lack of a pelvis as evidence, many scientists who believe in the existence of the sasquatch, most notably the late anthropologist Dr. Grover Krantz, have stated that the width of the ''Gigantopithecus'' jawbone widened considerably from front to rear, similar to humans and unlike modern apes, creating room for the windpipe to sit within the space of the jaw itself and thus indicating a bipedal stance.
