Other creatures of relatively similar descriptions are alleged to inhabit various regions throughout the world, such as the Skunk ape of the southeastern United States the Almas, Yeren, and Yeti in Asia and the Australian Yowie all of which are also engrained in the cultures of their regions. Wishful thinking, a cultural increase in environmental concerns, and overall societal awareness of the subject have been cited as additional factors. Folklorists trace the phenomenon of Bigfoot to a combination of factors and sources including indigenous cultures, the European wild man figure, and folk tales. The majority of mainstream scientists have historically discounted the existence of Bigfoot, considering it to be the result of a combination of folklore, misidentification, and hoax, rather than a living animal. Bigfoot is an icon within the fringe pseudoscience of cryptozoology, and an enduring element of popular culture.
Tales of wild, hairy humanoids exist throughout the world, and such creatures appear in the folklore of North America, including the mythologies of indigenous people. Numerous pieces of evidence were later discovered to be hoaxes. Many dubious articles have been offered to prove Bigfoot's existence, including anecdotal claims of sightings as well as alleged video and audio recordings, photographs, and casts of large footprints.
Bigfoot, also commonly referred to as Sasquatch, is a cryptid alleged by cryptozoologists to be an ape-like creature inhabiting the forests of North America.
