The recent discovery of a Bigfoot turned out to be, as many experts feared, yet another hoax.  The two men behind this incredible hoax claimed in August 2008 to have found the corpse of a Bigfoot, an apelike creature beleieved to exist in North America.  When the news initially broke out it created media hype and great expectations, as if did indeed turned out to be genuine, it would have been hailed as one of the startling discoveries of the century.  The photo shows the fake corpse of Bigfoot, which in fact was rubber costume!  (Picture from www.searchingforbigfoot.com). The two men initially refused to show the body following the embarassment of genetic tests from the alleged corpse turned out to be a combination of human and opossum DNA!. Names of these two men, Matt Whitton and Rick Dyer, together with controversial Bigfoot hunter Tom Biscardiwith who spoke on their behalf to fabrictae and intriguing story, woujld now be etched in mysterious Bigfoot history as hoaxers who created a media frenzy and following in a modern era.

Despite the bizarre ending to the Bigfoot story, it is unlikely that it will diminsh the interest of its followers who may still believe that Bigfoot does indeed exist.  The study of Bigfoot broadly falls under the classification of Cryptozoology, which entails search for a mysterious animal that exists by way of myths and legends , where there is lack of empircial evidence and taxonomical records. As such there is no end to this mystery..
