You, my friend, are having an encounter with a member of the Bigfoot family of animals a subspecies of the Gigantopithecus family, the largest known ape to ever exist. Gigantopithecus was alive for almost 2 million years in what is now China and went extinct about 100,000 years ago. They were about 10 feet tall and weighed over 1,000 pounds, and were more closely related to orangutans than humans. Based on their time period and location, it’s possible that early human species competed with them for resources, since they needed such large amounts of their specialized diet. They went extinct about 100,000 years ago, as cooler temperatures were impacting their habitat and their food.

But what you see in front of you right now is very much alive and from the sound of it. It could be just curious or it could be pissed off at you and out for blood. Perhaps to punish all those who trespass on their territory or disrespect their land. Well, fear not. Here are 5 tips that can help you survive an encounter with Bigfoot.
