Sasquatch
The moss-draped branches barely part as a large, dark shadow moves swiftly through the northeastern forest. It is a vertical shape, over six feet tall; its long legs rule out a bear. It must be a primate, but is it ape or human? The Salish tribe of southwest British Columbia call the being "Sasquits," meaning "hairy man," from which we have coined the name Sasquatch. - Robert Bateman
