There's much more in the woods than Sasquatch. Native oral history and even current accounts will give you a much better understanding of what they are than 'man-eating apes.'

That's not to say they've never attacked, killed or eaten people, as all three have probably occurred at some point, certainly the first two have. The cause of the vast majority of these cases, however, likely involves other factors we're kept even more in the dark about.

I've seen something BIG in the Rocky foothills. Certainly nothing known to science. Bigger than a grizzle but smaller than a moose and very lean, kinda looked like a giant mangey raccoon with no/very small tail and long forearms. I say raccoon because it had raccoon like/human hands complete with a thumb. I saw it scratching at a tree from about 300 yards away through binoculars.
There's lots of land where nobody lives and almost nobody goes, so I expect there's all sorts of weird creatures that we only know about from first nations myths. Plus I saw it at sunset, when everybody sensible is hunkering down to sleep.

I remember a greentext in an innawoods post on /out/ 2 or 3 years ago describing something very much like that pic. Give me a few minutes and I'll dig it up.

Please do, it's been bugging me what I saw for about two years now. The closest I've gotten is a herbologist who studied the evolution of avocados and suggested it was some relict species of giant sloth. I wish I got a good photo but it was so far away and so dark that the photo was useless. I'm hopefully going back to the Rockies next summer, if so I'll buy a proper camera or a binocular that can take photos from really far away.
It really did look like a leaner version of pic related with no visible tail and a narrower snout. Interestingly, just from googling that picture I've found that Amazonian giant sloths dug burrows.

Perhaps it was just some kind of big bear with a condition that caused it to lose all its hair?
