YouTube wildlife documentarian Coyote Peterson has posted photos of what he claims is a “Bigfoot skull” that he found in British Columbia.
Peterson broke the news on Facebook, explaining that he found “a large primate skull in British Columbia”, smuggled it through customs and TSA, and has placed the skull “in a secure location awaiting primatologist review.”
According to Peterson, he though it was a bear skull when he found it, but is now “100% sure” it is not. He also warns that he is “sure these pics will be taken down… as will probably the video by government or state park officials… but the skull is safe.”
Referred to as ‘The King of Sting,’ Peterson created his YouTube channel in 2014 and became known for his encounters with the world’s most dangerous, and often misunderstood, species. He now has over 20 million followers. Peterson won an International Emmy Kids Award in 2015 for his online series, Breaking Trail, and since 2017, has held a Guinness World Record for the most-subscribed account dedicated to animals. He has fronted Animal Planet’s Coyote Peterson: Brave the Wild, and has also appeared on day and night-time talk shows including Conan, and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
There is a certain, um, family resemblance.
Of course gorillas stories were poo-pooed as wild black African tales for centuries...
If it exists, there is a Red Dwarf of it!
Correct.
I like Nebraska Man.......
If nothing else he has the perfect name for a Bigfoot hunter.
Looks like a bullet hole in one of the photos on the site. Where is the DNA on It? Was it a borrila at a zoo that was euthenized and dumped In The woods?
It’s been “theorized” that Bigfoot & Yeti are surviving Gigantopithecus populations. Anyone have a link to similar Gigantopithecus skull for comparison? All I’ve seen is picture of Gigantopithecus jaws.
Bear skull is most likely!
Looks alot like the photo In Article- very close
Why would anyone want to cover up something like this? So far no scrap of evidence—real evidence— exists to support Bigfoot as a real creature.
It looks like it has a beak.
“Looks alot like the photo In Article- very close”
Yes, almost “too close.” I’d like to see something of known size for scale.
A few years ago some fella claimed he had a Bigfoot carcass in a cooler and was goj g to reveal it if he could get a certain amount to money. Was all over the news. Folks were claiming gheir gov was gonna cover it up if it proved to be Bigfoot, etc. Turned out to be a hoax. The dude was a scam artist I guess. NOt saying coyote is scamming- jus recalling the incident yesrs ago that had the press all hyped up for a big reveal.
Coyote could verify it, or discount it by comparing it to a gorilla skull if he wanted to
“Coyote could verify it, or discount it by comparing it to a gorilla skull if he wanted to”
Pull a tooth and extract DNA for analysis.
Yup, but a comparison side by side would go a long way to providing an answer too, and wouldn’t be too difficult to do. To me, the gorilla skull and the one coyote found look almost identical, but like you said, we need to have scale to know better. Even the front teeth jut outwards at a lretty severe angle it looks like, like the gorilla skull does. DNA, side by side co Larsson should put to rest what it is quickly enough. He shouldn’t be claiming it is Bigfoot without some kind of comparison first.

Hmmm....... great observation and question
My off the cuff answer is that Big Foot is the only primate I know of in North America other than Homo sapiens
I am more interested in the Ringneck Fuzzwort.
