Like the Yeti, Sasquatch, later dubbed "Bigfoot," is believed to be a large, shaggy primate that walks upright like a man. The main difference between the two mythical animals is their location. While the Yeti belongs to Asia, Bigfoot is thought to be native to North America, specifically the Pacific Northwest.

Both are cryptids, animals that a group of people believe to exist but that they don’t have scientific evidence to back them up. Sasquatch has become the generally accepted name for the wild primate-human hybrid that hikers and hunters have often spotted in North America. Some call the creature “Bigfoot” — a term which may have begun in 1958.

Bigfoot, a tall hairy creature, supposedly resides in North America. The fable of the ancient hominid was derived from tales of Sasquatch, a similarly hairy creature that lives in wooded areas whose story was passed down by Native American tribes in the Pacific Northwest, according to Smithsonian magazine.

Bigfoot, or Sasquatch, is a giant ape-like creature that some people believe roams North America. It is a cryptid (or species rumored to exist) and just like the Chupacabra or Loch Ness monster, there's scant physical evidence to suggest Bigfoot is actually out there.

Another notable quality about Bigfoot and Sasquatch is that they’re said to emit a strong body odor that is sulfuric in nature and reminiscent of a skunk or rotten eggs. While Bigfoot’s legs are shorter than the average human’s relative to his torso height, he reportedly runs very fast.
