Editorial: What are the different looks of Sasquatch?

Many people have had basically the same description for Sasquatch for centuries now-tall, bipedal, covered with hair, long arms and short legs. However, sometimes the looks vary ever so slightly. The majority of reports describe tall creatures, but some descriptions describe short creatures, which may be juveniles or undeveloped creatures. Some are described as thin or skinny, while others are described as having muscle definition Triple HHH of the WWE would be envious of, but no fat creatures. Some are described with the cone-shaped head while others are described as round-headed to egg-shaped. Some are male and are uniquely endowed, while others are female with rather developed mammary glands. Various hair colors are described as well, including white to light-grey, light to dark-brown, red to reddish and black, but they do not run every color of the rainbow. Their foot sizes and looks are also quite different, with anywhere from three-four-five toes, with some looking human-like to ape-like, at various sizes. The face is sometimes described differently too, either ape-like or human-like. The one I saw in 1984 had a strangely human-like face, with some aspects of ape as well. However, each facial detail always has a defined brow ridge over the eyes. Some are described with beards and moustaches, while others are clean-"shaven." Some are described with long hair, while others are described with short hair. So there is a diversity of looks in the Sasquatch just as with humans. I can only hope a type specimen will eventually solve the mystery of diverse looks once and for all.
