Canada is studing the Bigfoot

On May 13th, an unusual conference will be held in Nicola Valley, Canada, where historians, anthropologists, and enthusiasts who study the Yeti will gather. This Canadian city is known for stories about this huge ape-like creature.

The conference is organized by Sheldon Quewezance, the host of a local podcast. He thought it would be interesting to bring together all the fans of this legendary animal.

The conference will not only talk about cryptozoology but also about the history of the city, as well as possible scientific explanations of the Yeti phenomenon.

The Yeti, also known as the snowman or Bigfoot, is the most famous of all fantastic animals and characters in modern folklore. Its existence has not been proven, but those who claim to have seen it say that it looks like a large upright-walking ape. Some scientists believe that it may be a distant relative of the human from the hominid group, miraculously surviving to this day.

So far, all evidence of the legendary creature has turned out to belong to other biological species (for example, alleged Yeti hair and tracks usually belong to bears), or has been found to be fake. Moreover, scientists say that for a population of this species to exist, there must be enough individuals to make them easy to detect. In addition, a creature of such size cannot survive in the mountains, the habitat attributed to the Yeti, because there is not enough food for a huge organism. The largest primates, such as gorillas, live in a warm tropical climate where they can find sustenance.

Nevertheless, Bigfoot fans are not giving up and plan to prove its existence. Or maybe they just love stories about it as interesting tales. The conference on May 13th will bring everyone together. According to the media, it will be interesting to attend even for those who are far from believing in miracles: you can learn more about the nature, zoology, and history of British Columbia.
