Claims of Bigfoot corpse found in US leave experts unconvinced

Two men in the US state of Georgia say they have found the body of a Bigfoot, the legendary ape-like creature that has been subject of decades of hoaxes.

Matt Whitton and Rick Dyer say they stumbled across the 2.3m-high (7ft 7in), 226kg (500 pound) corpse in a wood in the north of the state in June.

A photograph on the men’s website shows what appears to be the body of a large, hairy creature with an ape-like face.

Bigfoot experts reacted suspiciously to the men’s press conference claims.

“What I’ve seen so far is not compelling in the least, and I think the pictures cast grave doubts on their claim,” said Jeffery Meldrum, a Bigfoot researcher and Idaho State University professor.

“It just looks like a costume with some fake guts thrown on top for effect,” he told the Scientific American magazine.

The US Fish and Wildlife Service also said its officers were not taking the claim seriously and would not investigate it.

‘Bigfoot’ finder describes making the discovery

At a news conference in Palo Alto, California, Mr Whitton and Mr Dyer said they had found the body of a male Bigfoot with reddish hair, “blackish-grey” eyes, and human-like feet and hands while out hiking.

“I recognised it was unusual right away,” said Mr Whitton, a police officer. “The first thing that pops into your head is that it’s Bigfoot.”

They also said they saw three other live creatures while carrying the corpse away.

“They were silent,” Mr Whitten added.
