The document discusses whether North America's ecosystem could support Bigfoot. It finds that parts of North America, like the northern forests and mountainous regions, have an environment similar to those inhabited by Gigantopithecus, which was closely related to Bigfoot. The forests provide foods like fruits, grasses, and plants that would match Bigfoot's likely diet. Additionally, the large size of North America and presence of forests and rainforests means there is ample space and resources for Bigfoot to live undisturbed if it exists.

ECOSYSTEM
SUPPORT BIG FOOT

2. DOES NORTH AMERICA’S
ENVIRONMENT SUPPORT BIGFOOT?
• Bigfoot has been an on going topic to most people since
they were kids. Some people believe it exists and some
don't. Its always a debatable topic but without a lot of
evidence to support it no one will ever know. There have
been sightings of supposed bigfoot and foot prints to
show that there was such an animal. There have been
sightings of bigfoot in North America but no one is sure
if it is legitimate. There are a few parts of North America
that have an environment that can support Bigfoot.

3. BIGFOOT AND GIGANTOPITHECUS RELATION
Since bigfoot has never really been discovered l have to
compare with something in close relation to it which is the
Gigantopithecus.They are about the same size expect that
the bigfoot is a smaller in size. They are both hairy, big, and
are both primates. According to the an article it says that
“they concluded Gigantopithecus had a mixed diet of fruits
and seeds from the fig family Moraceae and some kind of
grasses, probably bamboo.”(Waynam).Fruits and grass can
be found in parts of the North America ecosystem so that’s
shows that bigfoot can be able to live there since they have
similarities. The northern forest in North America would fit
the exact diet of the Bigfoot. The northern forests have
trees, grass and fruits that the bigfoot can eat.

4. BIGFOOT AND SPACE TO LIVE
• Bigfoot are able to live in North America because according to an
article “The model concluded that Bigfoot should be present
throughout the mountain ranges of western North America,” (Cecil
Adams and Christainson Joe).The article says that Bigfoot can be
able to survive in North America but just in mountain ranges of
North America.Bigfoot can stay of the high elevation areas the
environment has.It can also live in a tropical rain forest.
“Gigantopithecus thrived in the tropical forests of what is now
southern China for six to nine million years”(The largest ape that
ever lived was doomed by its own size) according to the article
since that ape has the same features as bigfoot it should be able to
live in the tropical rain forest in parts of North America. There is a
lot of space in the rainforests so bigfoot can just walk around easily
and never have a problem with amount of area they live in.

5. BIGFOOT AND FOOD
THEY EAT
• Giganthepithecus which is close to relation to
Big foot ate a lot of grass,fruit,roots and leaves
according to (The Largest ape that ever lived)
which meant that bigfoot eats almost the same
things. The diet listed above is all food found in
the North America so bigfoot was able to
survive and live there. It is also supported by an
article that bigfoot would live in a forested
environment or environment with plants
because that consists of their
diet(Waynam).There is plenty of water
according to the article (Rainforests).The
bigfoot will have a lot of water to live off. There
is a lot of water outlets in the rainforest in
North America.It will be easier for Bigfoot to
find a water source when they are moving
around looking for food.

6. ANALYSIS
• Bigfoot will be able to live
inhabit North America
because its diet fits that of
North America and its size
will be fit too. North America
is big enough for bigfoot to
walk around and look for
food. The plants and roots
are available in most parts of
North America so they
would have a good living
there.
