"No CGI. No fakes. Just wilderness and raw footage," the firm wrote in the video's caption.

While many videos of alleged cryptids are too indistinct to make out, this one certainly isn't - the 'Bigfoot' is clear as day and can be seen peeking out from behind the trees nearby.

Tour participants can also be heard chatting in the background as the creature moves around.The video generally falls into the "too good to be true" category, not least because it is so clear but because the supposed creature is so stereotypical in appearance that it is almost certainly someone wearing a Bigfoot costume.

Its movements are also far too human-like to be a genuine animal.

In all likelihood, the stunt was organized to gain publicity for the touring firm.

You can check out the video for yourself below - the 'Bigfoot' appears at around 00:43s.
