Description The Sasquatch (Anthropoarctus americanum) is a bizarre bipedal omnivorous ursid of the clade Tremarctinae, close relatives of the Spectacled bear and short-faced bears, evolved during the pleistocene around 1.4 million years ago, and adopting a convergent hominid primates hip and leg structure which allows them to support its body and walk in a bipedal way. 

Its original range of distribution spread across the American continent with different relative to the European, Asian and South American regions, however from the beginning of the Holocene many populations suffered a considerable loss with the extinction of several species, leaving a small surviving population across the world, being A. americanum the last species on the continent. 

Is believed that human could have been a strong pressure on their number with possible and constant confrontations by food and space, being during the time of colonization a very important point were these ursids suffered a devastating reduction by the environmental impact caused by the new wave of humans in the following centuries, eventually reaching the modern era where only hundreds of individuals were left wandering through the continent which have barely been able to be sighted and be confused by others of their relative quadrupeds.

My version of the Sasquatch/Bigfoot is a giant species of Australopithecine that migrated from the Bering land bridge, but in present day, it was stuck in its new home North America, it lived in the west coast, near to the Appalachians, south down to the border of New Mexico and Colorado, and all of Canada, except for Alaska, and the scientific name of this giant furry ape is Ameripithecus giganteus (means “giant american ape”) , Amanda that my definition of my speculation of Bigfoot or Sasquatch

I'm currently working on a SpecEvo project where multiple animal species around the globe independently evolved into a humanoid body structure and lifestyle, including bears. For a long time, I wondered what a humanoid bear would look like. I know it would have a larger cranium, a smaller muzzle, and shorter canines than other bear species. And you just gave me a good idea!

Question: do they have a strong sense of smell like other bear species?

Really nice idea. I actually kinda like how you made the Sasquatch into a bipedal bear, most likely because most sighting of Sasquatch are usually bears.

No problem! Also do you think you could make Anthropoarctus himalayaensis (Yeti)?
