There have been over 5,000 Bigfoot sightings in the US. With so many people claiming to have seen it (or one of the many supposed Bigfoots), it's certainly worth looking into. But what does science say about Bigfoot and the now extinct Gigantopithecus genus of apes? Is it possible the two are connected? We also discuss some of the claims made on the Nat Geo show, "Chasing Bigfoot".
