00:08have seen him however to get to the bottom of this hairy mystery researchers continue to
00:12investigate and they may have finally figured out what those sightings really are according
00:17to a new analysis researcher flo foxon has found that bigfoot sightings are far more frequent in
00:22areas with black bears historically those who spot bigfoot say he stands between six and nine feet
00:27tall that's not too far off from adult black bears when standing up bipedally which are around four
00:32to six and a half feet in height in fact the now peer-reviewed study found that for every 1 000
00:36black bears in a particular area bigfoot sightings increased by four percent in fact there was one
00:41bigfoot sighting for every 5 000 black bears in 2006 foxon also discovered that nearby human populations
00:48also changed the data as well with more people near forested areas also meaning more bigfoot sightings
00:53and that metric was also true in places like florida where there are actually fewer bears
00:57but larger populations of people near forested areas
