<h2 id="pie-grande-big-foot">Bigfoot (Big Foot)</h2>

<div class="itemImage" style="float:right">&#10;  <near-ilustration title="Yeti Footprint in the Himalayas -  - : click here"></near-ilustration>&#10;</div> It is a large, hairy creature related to the Yeti, which, according to legend, inhabits the mountainous regions of the northwestern United States. Its first appearances were reported in the early nineteenth century, when some newspapers published a story told by two hunters from Arkansas who described the sight of a herd being pursued by an animal with anthropomorphic features. Of gigantic size, Bigfoot has an abundant coat of hair that covers its entire body.

It is, however, a shy creature that would flee when met with a steady human gaze.
