Field Guide To Bigfoot, Yeti, & Other Mystery Primates Worldwide

by Loren Coleman, Patrick Huyghe, Harry Trumbore

Neo-Giants, hairy, upright creatures-the classic Sasquatch-spotted and filmed by two men in Six Rivers National Forest, California... True Giants, like the "nyalmo" of the Himalayas, the cannibals of folklore, often fifteen feet tall, leave startling two foot long, four-toed tracks in the mud and snow... Merbeings, known as "chupacabras," spiny-backed primates frequently blamed for the mutilation of sheep, goats, and other animals, sighted last year in Puerto Rico, the United States and Brazil... Thousands of reports of a wide variety of mysterious primates have intrigued humans since the beginning of recorded history, yet these shy and reclusive beings have eluded the most diligent attempts to verify their existence. Here is the first-ever comprehensive study on an astonishing variety of puzzling apelike and humanlike animals that are still being seen today. This fully referenced volume includes range maps and typical footprints for each type of undiscovered creature sighted around the world, as well

Fun without being silly, or losing sight of factuality and scientific rigor (though a few of details listed here are definitely worth a double-check to see where there's room for doubt). I would definitely recommend this to anyone interested in Cryptozoology. And heck, put it in the camper the next time you head out to the woods. It couldn't hurt...

While I don't buy all the stories, it's interesting to read about some of the creatures that could exist: lesser known apes, for example. A very interesting fact is that for years they thought sightings of the giraffe were made up! I personally believe a type of "Bigfoot" could exist, though perhaps not in North America like they claim, but rather the wilds of Africa. Well, they supposedly have 6-foot tall violets in the Amazon! Plus I'd love to see one. :D

This was an intereting collection of stories and sitings of what people call Bigfoot. I will always be skeptical about Bigfoots existence but will always read about it because the thought one them existing is pretty exciting.
