Wanted: A team to look for Bigfoot
October 10th, 2010 - 2:38 pm ICT by IANSBeijing, Oct 10 (IANS) A research association in China has launched a global recruitment drive to form a team to search for the legendary and elusive ape-like creature called Bigfoot.
The Hubei Wild Man Research Association in Hubei province will launch the search in the Shennongjia forest region. Located in the remote mountains in Hubei, the reserve has long been rumoured to be the Bigfoot’s home, the China Daily reported.
The association, which comprises of over 100 scientists and explorers, is hoping the search could end the long-running debate on the existence of the “half-human, half-ape” creature, said its vice president Luo Baosheng.
Over 400 people have claimed to have seen Bigfoot in Shennongjia but no evidence has been found to prove its existence. They say the creature walks upright, is more than two metres tall in adult stage and has a gray, red or black hairy body.
The association said the team members should be between 25 to 40 years old and with good physical health.
They should also have a basic knowledge of biology and know how to use a camera.
