Is this evidence of Bigfoot in Colorado?

WEIRD BUT TRUE

A couple on a romantic break in Colorado claims to have captured the mythological creature Bigfoot on camera, wandering on the side of a mountain before sitting down to rest — all in broad daylight.

Professed eyewitnesses Shannon and Stetson Parker — enjoying a trip for their tenth wedding anniversary — claim to have observed the legendary lummox while enjoying a sightseeing tour on the narrow gauge rail line between Durango and Silverton, in the Centennial State’s far southwest.

“We were looking for elk in the mountains and my husband sees something moving and then can’t really explain it. So he’s like ‘Bigfoot!'”

“It was at least six, seven feet or taller. It matched the sage in the mountains so much that he’s like camouflaged when crouching down…if you asked before our trip we would have said maybe [Bigfoot] could be real, but now we’re convinced.”

Some took the couple’s Bigfoot claims in stride with one comenting “I believe” on Shannon’s post, with another saying “love it!” Though, not everyone is as convinced that Chewbacca’s doppelgänger exists.

“It didn’t look like a hunter because a hunter would have had a weapon like a bow since its bow season. It didn’t seem to be carrying anything.”

Americans have been reporting sightings of the big galoot, with many reports coming from the forests of the Pacific Northwest, since the 1800s.

The University of Arizona adds that the folklore may come from an extinct giant ape, called Gigantopithecus, that existed in tandem with early humans.
