Bigfoot

Bigfoot (also known as Sasquatch) is the name given to a mythological simian, ape, or hominid-like creature that is said to inhabit forests, mainly in the Pacific Northwest. In American folklore, Bigfoot is usually described as a large, hairy, bipedal humanoid. The term sasquatch is an Anglicized derivative of the Halkomelem word sásq'ets.

Scientists discount the existence of Bigfoot and consider it to be a combination of folklore, misidentification, and hoax, rather than a living animal, because of the lack of physical evidence and the large numbers of creatures that would be necessary to maintain a breeding population. Occasional new reports of sightings sustain a small group of self-described investigators. Most reports of sightings are attributed to being various animals, particularly black bears.

Usage examples of "bigfoot".

Tony recognized as that of the operations supervisor, Bigfoot Caparatti.

The story, according to Bigfoot, was that someone had come down hard on his knee on his very first play.

Tony reported he was ready to go, and Bigfoot showed up on the circuit again.

And Bigfoot nailed it on the first guess by the simple expedient of checking the inventory.

Since the Micro had already docked successfully at both Moonbase and L1, Bigfoot knew there was no risk bringing it directly back.

But had Bigfoot stayed inside to do that, it would have taken too long to get through the airlock.

Now, while Bigfoot went after the other umbilicals, Saber retrieved the remote and checked the readings.

She started for the cargo hatch while Bigfoot shut down, jerked the umbilical out of the fuel receptacle, capped it, and closed and secured the latch.

She was quite agile in low-g footwork and she left Bigfoot far behind.

Then Bigfoot appeared in the picture, moving with deliberation through the light gravity, throwing himself up and into the airlock.

Even in the cargo hold, where Bigfoot had spread out some cushions left there for him by Tony, a wallscreen was picking up the Transglobal feed.

Tony fraternized with the pilots, and he assumed Bigfoot would have spent his time with flight operations personnel.

Now he looked out at Tony Casaway, he thought about Bigfoot in his airless compartment, and he shivered.

Perhaps Signore Lante was a bit tipsy and confused this citizen with this legendary Bigfoot he was here to hunt for?

Then we sell him his trophy footprints and that trophy of the Bigfoot he keeps on insisting he must have.
