Primate Expert Jane Goodall Says Bigfoot Might Be Real

Legendary primatologist and anthropologist Jane Goodall isn’t ruling out the existence of one of Earth’s most popular cryptids: the Sasquatch.
In an interview with KUOW radio, Goodall, who is famous for her work with wild chimpanzees, said that she is open to the possibility of Bigfoot’s existence.

Goodall said that one of the main reasons for her open mind is that she’s heard stories about Bigfoot sightings from those who have absolutely no reason to lie.
On a visit to Ecuador, for example, Goodall asked a group of local hunters about the mysterious creature.

“All I said was, ‘Ask if he’s seen a monkey without a tail.’ I didn’t say anything more than that … four of those hunters said, ‘Oh yes, we’ve seen a monkey without a tail. It’s about six foot tall and it walks upright.’”
As for what exactly that creature could be, again, Goodall is open to the possibilities.

“It’s bizarre that we’ve never found any remains,” Goodall said. “Maybe it’s a spiritual creature. The closest I come when I think about ‘what could it be’ is like the remnant of Neanderthals.”
“I think to have an element of mystery in life is very, very important,” she said.
