Comment

Tracking a mysterious creature from Canada’s North.
Is Sasquatch myth or missing link? First Nations legends abound with haunting tales of a giant, human-like creature lurking in the mountain forests of Canada’s Yukon, British Columbia and northern Ontario.

They are not alone. In Asia, people claim to have seen Yeti, and in the western United States, witnesses describe a very similar Bigfoot—a very fast, very hairy and strong “ape-man” walking on two feet, “As big as a bear standing on its hind legs,” they say. Sasquatch is reputed to stand about 3 m (10 ft) tall and weigh 227 kg (500 lb)—and looking at the huge footprints it leaves behind, believers say the truth can’t be far off. What do you think?

Interesting fact

The 2011 Canadian Sasquatch 25-cent coin features a unique design that showcases a Sasquatch, a mythical creature said to inhabit the forests of North America, alongside Queen Elizabeth II. This coin is a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not intended for general circulation and was instead produced for collectors. It is made of nickel-plated steel and weighs 12.61 grams.
