| − | [[Secular Science|Secular science]] has never confirmed the the existence of the sasquatch as a real animal in its own right. Most scientists regard the sasquatch, along with the [[Loch Ness Monster]] of [[Scotland]] and the [[Yeti]] of the [[Himalayas]], as one of the most famous animals of cryptozoology. Eyewitness accounts are dismissed as either a series of hoaxes or misinterpretation of something else. The ''gigantopithecus'' is regarded by science to have been a quadruped, not bipedal like the sasquatch. Critics of the Skookum body cast , including several members of BFRO, considered what was recovered to be the impression of an elk. | + | [[Secular Science|Secular science]] rejects the the existence of the sasquatch as a real animal in its own right.
