'''Sasquatch''' is an alleged ape-like animal said to inhabit the remote forested areas of much of North America, with a large number of sightings taking place in the Pacific northwest of the United States and Canada.  Along with the [[Loch Ness Monster]] of [[Scotland]] and the [[Yeti]] of the [[Himalayas]], the sasquatch is one of the most famous animals of cryptozoology and is believed to exist by many, despite the fact that its existence has been dismissed by mainstream science as either native folklore or a series of hoaxes due to a lack of concrete evidence.

'''Sasquatch''' (also known as [[Bigfoot]]) is an alleged ape-like animal said to inhabit the remote forested areas of much of North America, with a large number of sightings taking place in the Pacific northwest of the United States and Canada.  Along with the [[Loch Ness Monster]] of [[Scotland]] and the [[Yeti]] of the [[Himalayas]], the sasquatch is one of the most famous animals of cryptozoology and is believed to exist by many, despite the fact that its existence has been dismissed by mainstream science as either native folklore or a series of hoaxes due to a lack of concrete evidence. The legend of the sasquatch appears to be prevelant in several cultures, as exemplified by the Yeti and the [[Yowie]] in Australia . The most recent sighting appeared in December 2006 by a Canadian woman in Saskatchewan.
