user posted image rAnother reported incident of a sasquatch seen in Teslin last weekend is being looked into by staff from the Department of Environment. Teslin conservation officer John Klein said Wednesday he received eyewitness accounts of something weird in the woods at about 2:30 a.m. last Sunday. He is planning to do follow-up interviews with those who say saw something.“It was not until the following morning at daybreak on Sunday morning that people started investigating what they saw, and that is when a print was found and a sample of hair,” Klein explained.He said by the time he got involved and was shown the location of the print, the area in question had been disturbed quite a bit by the numerous people who wanted to see what some believe is evidence of Big Foot.By the time Klein saw the print, there were no distinct features like the outlines of toes or such, but those who saw it initially say it was quite a bit more foot-like before the area was heavily visited.

The print, he said, measured 43 centimetres (17 inches) in length and 11.5 cm (4.5 inches) in width.The tuft of hair collected will be sent for analysis to Philip Merchant, the department’s laboratory specialist in Whitehorse.Doug Larsen, chief of the wildlife management branch, said this morning it should be relatively straightforward to determine if the hair comes from a common local animal like a bear.If the analysis is inconclusive, however, it may be that the sample would have to be subject to further scrutiny, such as a DNA test, he explained.

tongue.gif Well I am glade they found some hair to test. A DNA test will at least let them know what species it is. In other previous samples, it turned out to be a Bear or some thing common. We will see! cool.gif
