Last November, some geneticists claimed to have sequenced the genome of Bigfoot. People were skeptical. So were all the peer-reviewed journals they tried to publish in. Just couldn't get the damn thing printed.

A recent press release from DNA Diagnostics opens thusly, "A team of scientists can verify that their 5-year long DNA study, currently under peer-review, confirms the existence of a novel hominin hybrid species, commonly called "Bigfoot" or "Sasquatch," living in North America."

Typically, when you see advertisements tempting travelers to visit Puerto Rico, you hear about the beautiful beaches, the history, but not El Chupacabra. Artist Fernando Reza corrects this and similar oversights with a line of mythical travel posters. Come for the bioluminescent kayaking, stay for the goatsuckers.

Imagine Bigfoot on Mars, defending the lowly from evil military leaders and terrifying slave masters who are all covered in spines and exoskeletons and other cool shit like that. Reading the new indie comic Bigfoot: Sword of the Earthman is kind of like mainlining the Planet Hulk series while mashing your face into…

If Bigfoot exists, it's becoming increasingly difficult for it to hide. For years, cryptozoologists have relied on "footprints," blurry photographs and shaky camera footage in their search for proof of the legendary cryptid's existence — but recently, scientists have turned to more rigorous methods of investigation.…

Genetic analyses have come a long way since researchers last took a serious look at remains claimed to belong to cryptids like yeti and bigfoot. Now, Oxford University researcher Bryan Sykes thinks it's time to revisit the issue using some of the most advanced analytical techniques available.

Cryptid conservationists, be on the alert; it's officially open season on Sasquatch. According to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, if you can find Bigfoot in the state of Texas, you can kill it.

The folks who took this footage say they saw something they thought was just a person walking through trees, but the more they looked, the less human it seemed. That's when they whipped out the camera and grabbed some footage. Could it be Bigfoot? Or, as one discerning reader on Cryptomundo asked, "Could it be just…

In a manner of speaking, yes, Bigfoot did exist — although, perhaps not in the way many modern day cryptid enthusiasts surmise. In a piece written for Smithsonian's Hominid Hunting, Erin Wayman serves up the facts on Gigantopithecus — the car-sized quadruped that went extinct long before humans ever speculated about…
