Episode 42: A Prehistory of Sasquatch Part 1 - Wild Men of the Woods

When we talk about Sasquatch, theoretically, we’re talking about a living animal. Because of this, the topic of Sasquatch biology and behavior is a cornerstone of the research. If we can figure out how these creatures deal with the world around them, we can get a better understanding of their existence, and have a better chance of being able to actually catch one, either of camera or in a trap.
