BIGFOOT OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST
This most passive of all Bigfoot types is comparable to the mountain gorilla; it lives in the Pacific Northwest. There are few reported variations of this Bigfoot type, which might be attributable to a lower rate of change in the human population, as opposed to the South and Midwest, where a variety of native tribes moved in and through the territories, leaving a trail of stories and legends.
Reports on eating habits show Sasquatch is omnivorous. There is a slight variation in coat color. The Bigfoot in California and Oregon appear to be a little darker than the northern Bigfoot. The California Bigfoot also appear to, on average, have slightly larger feet.
