- BEIJING (Reuters) - Standing
2.5 metres (eight feet) tall, with long red hair and a taste for corn on
the cob, Big Foot is back and apparently running around a nature reserve
in central China, state media said on Monday.
-
- Chinese scientists are on the trail of the legendary
ape-like beast after a hunter reported seeing a huge fast-moving creature
covered in long, red hair in Hubei province's Shennongjia Nature Reserve
two months ago, the China Daily said.
-
- The scientists found 40-cm (16-inch) footprints, brown
hair and chewed corn cobs at the spot where the hunter said he saw the
beast, and concluded they were not left by a bear, it said.
-
- Scientists have unearthed hundreds of fossilised teeth
of giant apes in the area, and some speculate that Big Foot could be a
descendant of such primates, it said.
