A data scientist thinks he’s solved the mystery of Bigfoot ― not by searching for the creature out in the wilds, but by examining the math instead. “If Bigfoot is there,” he writes, “it may be many bears.”The study includes a map showing black bear populations and Bigfoot sightings overlapping in some places, especially the Pacific Northwest. The two states have had plenty of Bigfoot sightings, but Texas has no real bear population and Florida has only a small presence. Those, he wrote, could be explained by other animals or even people mistaken for Bigfoot. “But that doesn’t mean they aren’t mistaken.”AdvertisementFoxon’s analysis cites previous studies, including a 2009 report published in the Journal of Biogeography that also found a distinct overlap between black bear populations and Bigfoot sightings.
