I didn't realize the sasquatch stories among the native americans were so incredibly common and consistent.
@sun by now simply believing any random myth has a better success rate than believing academia
@sun the tribes out here had a monster called "the yucca man" and it's literally just sasquatch in the desert.
@sun if you spend an entire long ass time in the forest, without knowing about every single animal, you will think of similar stories
The noises that certain forest animals make, how loud they are, and how hard it is to distinguish IT'S A FUCKING MOOSE BUT i can't tell for sure because 50m and loud noise SCARY AAA WHY AM I HEARING THE SCREAMS OF TWO HUMAN BABIES BEING RIPPED TO SHREDS ALIVE SUDDENLY (it's two foxes talking to each other)
Similarly, skin walkers/wendigo s are a common story because of the incredibly scary and smelly (hint hint, the commonly described metallic blood smell in wendigo stories) deer and similarly horned animals, whose horns are covered in living skin until they have grown fully, after which the living skin slowly peels off in a grotesque, brutal, bloody, and death like smell process, looking like literal meat curtains hanging Infront of a living deer's face, which is also bloodied by this process
Buffalo, bears, moose ,other black and brown furred creatures, each big one capable of making very scary, air quaking screams of aggression and defence, only amplified by the eyes and ears of a frightened human or group of humans in telling.
If a bi pedal, American continents inhabiting hairy hyper sized monkey exists, then there are so few of them in the world, that pandas are significantly less at risk of death by no sex, than the sasquatch in comparison. The existence of such an animal goes into a"tea pot in space" territory, so i think that outside of fun fiction writing/roleplay, any serious deep dive discussing/search for this animal is a waste of resources.

@lebronjames75 it seems like white people dehumanized them into a type of ape, indians all seemed to consider it a tribe of people with significant physical differences that could still speak indian languages.
It seems impossible for a colony of them to have survived all the way into like the very early 1900s when they were last seriously reported but if it was the 1700s or earlier who knows. I'm not worried we haven't found bones. We can't even find lost people out there when we're looking for them.

@lebronjames75 @sun NATIVE AMERICANS ARE WELL KNOWN FOR BEING SOFTIE URBANITES WHO WOULDN'T KNOW A MOOSE CALL FROM A PHONECALL, NOR WOULD HAVE EVER SEEN A DEER SHEDDING VELVET FROM ANTLERS OR BUFFALO, BEARS, MEESE, OTHER BLACK AND BROWN CREATURES.
BEFORE THE ARRIVAL OF EUROPEAN SETTLERS THEY LIVED IN URBAN CENTERS KINDA LIKE KOWLOON WALLED CITY AND MOSTLY DID SOFTWARE ENGINEERING FOR A LIVING.
THIS KINDA THING, WILD ANIMALS IN THE FOREST, THEIR CALLS, THEIR SMELLS, AT DISTANCE AND IN CLOSE, WAS SO REMOTE AND UNNECESSARY TO THEIR LIFE THAT THEY HAD NO EXPERTISE.
FOR THE PRECOLUMBIAN NATIVE AMERICANS FOOD CAME FROM THE SUPERMARKET SHELF.
