Is Bigfoot (aka Sasquatch) a descendent of the extinct giant ape Gigantopithecus? Or is it a myth turned pop-culture phenom that we want to believe is real? In this objectively written graded reader, author Bonnie Worth examines the evidence for and against the existence of the alleged ape, including its role in native North American folklore, famous sightings and notorious hoaxes, Dr. Grover Kranz’s work with dermal ridges, the Gigantopithecus theory, the Patterson-Gimlin film, and much, much more. Illustrated with photographs and full-color illustrations, this high-concept easy reader will satisfy both skeptics and true believers.
북미에는 야생 유인원인 빅풋(Bigfoot)을 봤다는 이야기가 매우 많습니다. 숲 속 텐트를 공격했다거나, 눈보라 속에서 봤다는 사람, 거대한 발자국을 찍은 사진까지 2,000개가 넘는 목격담이 전해지고 있답니다. 과연 빅풋은 멸종된 거대한 원숭이인 기간토피테쿠스의 실제 자손일까요? 아니면 미스터리를 좋아하는 사람들이 만들어낸 이야기일까요?
