Full scale 3D-printed Bigfoot skeleton built

Anthropologist Jeff Meldrum and his team have put together a life-size skeletal model of a Sasquatch.
The huge skeleton, which took over three months to create, was designed by first scanning a Neanderthal skeleton and then adjusting its proportions to match the famous Patterson/Gimlin footage which shows an alleged Bigfoot walking across Bluff Creek in California.

"All we're doing is creating a hypothetical facsimile of what it might look like to convey a notion of the dimensions," said Meldrum who has been studying the Bigfoot phenomenon for over 20 years.

"They gave us permission to do a 3-D scan on a Neanderthal skeleton they found. We compared that to the Patterson-Gimlin film. We had to widen the shoulders and increase the thickness in the torso. The hips are as wide as the shoulders; the body was built like a tank."
