A story out of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada reports that a hank of hair purported to come off Bigfoot may well have come off someone's wall instead.
"You can't fool us with a hair sample," wildlife geneticist David Coltman said yesterday in announcing the hair was from a bison.
Coltman's University of Alberta team performed DNA tests this week on the hair reportedly plucked from a bush near Teslin, Yukon, this month.
"The DNA sequence from the Teslin hair sample produced a 100-per-cent match with known bison sequences," said Coltman at an occasionally hilarious news conference yesterday.
"This hair sample could not have come from the hairy, bipedal animal reportedly sighted in Teslin last week."
The hair DNA was so degraded it was probably years old and could have come from a stuffed animal, he said.
"It could be a consequence of the tanning process used to preserve hides and trophy mounts," said Coltman.
Bison are uncommon in the Teslin area of the Yukon.
The result came after days of speculation about the hair, found close to where several people swear they saw a large, hairy creature one evening.
Coltman went on to say that he already is working on his next case of the supernatural. Alberta's answer to Detective Mulder, says that within hours of debunking the myth of Bigfoot he got all a call from a women stating that she had heard a large dog like animal scratching and clawing across her roof.
She went on to add, that she felt it could have been a Werewolf.
I was hoping this hair was real and they could extract DNA and track down the elusive harry beast. Can't you see it know, a new season of the surreal life with Big Foot, Shack O' Neil, a return visit from Ron Jeremy and Paris Hilton. Big feet, big hands= well you know. And Paris is just a big hoe.
Later,
