  • An incredibly foul-smelling member of the sasquatch family

  • Stood 6.5 feet tall

  • One proposed explanation for the smell is from absorption of methane and other gasses from living in the swamps

  • Given the prevalence of alligators in the Everglades, the smell is more likely a defense mechanism, produced through a secretion of chemicals (similar to skunks and stink bugs)

  • Unlike most apes (including other sasquatch species), only has four toes on each foot, instead of five
