YouTuber Coyote Peterson announces 'Bigfoot' skull discovery

Is this a genuine Bigfoot skull or a hoax ? Image Credit: Facebook / Coyote Peterson
The wildlife presenter claims that he has discovered the large skull of an unknown primate in Canada.
Known for his enthusiastic presenting style and entertaining wildlife videos, Peterson isn't typically known for posting content or making claims about cryptozoological creatures.

In a notice posted up on his Facebook page around 11 hours ago, however, he revealed that he had discovered the large skull of an unknown primate in British Columbia and even has pictures to prove it.

"Leaking pics here before they are taken down and before government/official try to cease our footage," he wrote. "Found a large primate skull in British Columbia - filmed it, cut the footage, releasing on @bravewilderness this weekend."

"Have kept this secret for several weeks... YES I have the skull, smuggled it thru customs and TSA and its currently in a secure location awaiting primatologist review. "
"The skull was found partially buried under ground in deep back forest ravine after a massive storm in the Pac Northwest where clearly a bunch of trees and earth were disturbed. I'm sure these pics will be taken down... as will probably the video by government or state park officials... but the skull is safe."

Reactions to the discovery have been somewhat mixed, however, with some arguing that it is the skull of an existing primate and that the whole thing is a hoax to drum up views for his channel.

Whatever the case, we should know more when the video is posted up at the weekend.

Since this is listed as 1 of the top 10 cryptozoology stories of 2022, we should revisit.    I assume he never came forward with the skull.

That this is in the top 10 cryptozoology stories says a lot about cryptozoology.

Come on Dude, your going to tell me you have never wondered about the possibility, especially since you literally live at the edge of one of he largest most uninhabited expanses of mountain ranges in the entire United States that covers 15957.216 Sqaure miles in Washington, State alone.  Even if you haven’t, have you ever Considered Climbing Mt.R the National Park Service use to organize climbs? I use to do a lot hiking up and around Mt.R and on few occasions while hiking I encountered similar signs. The National Park Service would put them up in Dangerous areas as a joke, where Danger Sig... [More]

I have wondered. Because that I have spent literally decades now out looking for anything that would make it real. Even on this recent tour of duty, I have spent a total of 6 months of leave/weekends out in the various areas where the creature is reported. Net results, absolutely nothing. I've climbed Rainier twice, Hood and Adams once a piece. I've hiked and camped all around the St. Helens and Gilbert Peak. I've also been all over the Olympic and Cascades. Equally resulting in nothing.

In late 1987, after a tour in Korea I was reassigned at Ft. Stewart, Georgia back home at the 24th Infantry Divisions Headquarters In the G-3 Plans and Operations Section. Well, things were great and I loved my job, until the Middle of 1988, when our daughter suffered an illness caused by Encephalitis, and suffered major brain damage. Because, of her condition I had to join the Exceptional Family Members program because based upon the requirements for the program her injury and the scale used to judge disabilities Sarah’s condition maxed the scale out. So, there were a very small number of M... [More]

I think a lot of "bigfoot tracks", in mud and snow especially, are bear tracks that are layered onto each other, with the back foot track eclipsing part of the front foot track. I've not been out in the woods a tremendous amount. I did spend a lot of time when I was a lot younger, and I also never saw anything that was "bigfoot"ish, except tracks that I'd made myself to scare my brother.

after months of trekking on donkeys in a foreign country, a German army captain discovered the gorilla... Why was it discovered? Because it really exists! When one considers the phenomenal tech we have today compared to then; Americans who believe bigfoot exists have yet to prove it= on their own doorstep- maybe bigfoot does exist & those searching are idiots.  When you look at stuff logically one can only come to one conclusion=== bigfoot does not exist! With this 'logical/ rational thinking approach' one feels a need to rest one's case..... Oh well, let the fantasy carry on- & why n... [More]

I certainly agree with you and I believe my comments above state that. There are two reasons I disbelieve, one is archeological there has never been Great Ape fossil discovered in the Americas or anywhere truly near to the only crossing point they could have arrived from and that’s the Bearing Strait during the last major ice ages because a crossing would have had to have been recent since no fossil exist. The second reason is our technology today could be used to identify the creature in any locations worldwide. It doesn’t matter the terrain, whether conditions, day or night our aircraft ... [More]
