It turns out from analyzing the reported sightings and folklore, that the hairy man may be a varied and widespread clan encompassing every continent of the world. There seems to be three distinct types: small, large, and extra-large, all or none of which may be related. They go by many different names: Alma, Shookpa, Yowie, Meti, Kang-mi, Kaptar, to mention a few, with Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Yeti and Abominable Snowman the most commonly used by the western world. They all have one thing in common: an exceptionally big, human-like foot.

Skookum is another name that I have heard referring to bigfoot. I believe it means something about being stinky. It's a name from a tribe on the West Coast. There is actually a Skookum Mountain out there.
