More Materials On Differentiating Bigfoot, Yeti, Skunk Ape, Wildman and Sasquatch

Above is a facial portrait and below is a footprint of the Eastern Bigfoot, which is often compared to a "Caveman" in appearance. The term Eastern Bigfoot has been used since the 1970s to discriminate the type, although there are problems with using that term since it has also been applied to the more apelike Skunk Ape (see below), with equal vigour and for about the same length of time. 
The footprints and build of this creature (Which I call the American Almas) are very much like Neanderthal fossils and so is the shape of the skull, face and braincase. They are burly creatures built like old-time professional wrestlers and with short bandy legs. Their arms turn out to be not particularly overlong in comparison to Caucasian Homo sapiens, but both hands and feet are large enough to seem outsized. Both hands and feet are squared-off in appearance. The top of the head is usually domed rather than peaked and one gets the impression of a head distinct from the shoulders 


 
The following photo is from Ohio and if genuine it would be one of these Eastern Bigfoots.
It seems to be running with unusual vigour and it has been suggested it would not be possible for a man in a suit to perform this action at such a great speed. The proportions look human enough.
 
 

 
Eastern Bigfoot drawings from an article posted on the blog recently.
The profile is similar to the famous "March of fossil humans" from the Time-Life book Early Man.
The head-on view is a close match for the "Mecheny" Almas seen in Siberia.     

Two peculiarities are associated with the American Almas males: the first is that the crown of the head can have thinning hair, or be partly to wholly bald on top; the second is that they can have beards and moustaches ranging from just noticeable to full-beard-hanging-to-the-waist.


Whether or not these photographs represent real creatures, they DO represent what the witnesses are reporting. These reports do continue more rarely out to the West Coast, and then there are areas both in Northwest Canada and then again in Mexico and points South where they are counted as specific regular types reported in those areas. In Northwest Canada they are the BushMen and in South America they are the Didis and Maricoxis.
 
 
Blogger Jay from the companion blog Bizzare Zoology sent in this illustration tpo my Facebook wall. He said the "Wild Woman" illustrated on the house pole could be meant for one of my American Almases and he pasted the skull alongside for comparison. It looks like a good match to me.

 
Further to the south there are what Sanderson called The Little Red Men of the Bottomlands (or of the Mississippi delta) and wondered if the reports could be related to runaway orangutans (in 1961): soon after that, "Skunk ape" reports started coming in from Florida
 
 
There was some variation overall in the kind of apes they were said to look like,chimpanzees were alleged almost as commonly as orangutans. And yet the striking similarity to orangutans insited on  in all of the best reports and shown in photographs is very hard to discount or to overlook.

There is a great range in track shapes depending on how closely the big toe is clenched to the foot
 
                  
 
Footprint cast for the Skunk Ape: in this example, the two smallest toes seem to have run together in casting. These tracks characteristically show an opposed big toe: more recently they are often said to resemble the Orang Pendek tracks from Sumatra and lately publicised. Below is a comparison of the-is kind of "Bigfoot" with the typical (Smaller) Yeti from the Himalayas. A close match in proportions and stance.This type of Yeti is ordinarily said to be the size of a teenager or a young man for the males, females much smaller.These Yetis typically live at lower altitudes in the jungles (where they are known under different names) and only rarely go over the mountains when they need to get from one valley to another, and that most likely because of feeding patterns and population pressures.

has a small pointed head which does not have a distinct neck or separation from the shoulders visible
Both arms and legs are thickly muscled and the hands reach as far down as the knees.
The eyes are small, round, dark, and placed close together, nose is flat and the ears are rarely seen.

The Patterson film shows a creature that is entirely consistent with the usual descriptions and  footprints (Footprints as found and as shown in the film)

 
The shape of the Sasquatch (Above) is unmistakeably different than your typical brown bear standing up. The typical shape for the tracks is also unmistakeably different.

  1. Nice article Mr. Drinnon. Thanks for including the diagram which I shared with you, and I must admit that I am becoming more convinced of your theory. It's just hard for me to comprehend that three different species are hiding in North America, although I am sure that my problems with this are just due to the fact that I haven't had much time in wilderness outside of Pennsylvania. The Eastern Bigfoot footprint you included here was especially intriguing to me, as it appears to have a developed arch unlike the footprints of the Western Sasquatch. The Florida ape footprint is a bit unconvincing however, as it looks more like it was produced by a carved foot rather than a real ape foot in my opinion. I do wish that you had included Loren Coleman's photograph of an alleged Nape footprint instead. But other than that, great article. You do have some good arguments on this subject.

  2. I could have used a couple of different "NAPE" tracks as examples but you se there were conditions attached to the reproductions of the better prints. Coleman's is actually the most famous, and I would have used it but for the fact that Mr Coleman and I are not on good terms ever since I maintained that the casts (negative and positive) shown to me at SITU headquarters was represented as being from the actual cast of the Shipton Yeti track and his reply to me was personally insulting and abusive....there is a line to be drawn between criticism of an argument and making pesonal attacks in an attempt to win am argument. I am similarly now on bad terms with Karl Shuker on account of his "Belittlin" me.

    1. I understand, it is sad that people have to be so rude due to simple misunderstandings. Nice article, I'll share this one on my blog as soon as I have time.
