Hair DNA tests keep legend of Bigfoot alive

Results are expected this week from DNA testing of the hair, which the Teslin folk said was left by the Bigfoot, along with large footprints in the mud. Generations of storytellers have told of the large animal, usually described as an oversized ape.

Privately, the university expects the results to show that the hair comes from a bear or a moose. If, on the other hand, the DNA testing does not match an animal we already know, then the sasquatch legend lives on.
