Big Foot
Gigantopithecus Canadensis
Gigantopithecus canadens (Big Foot) is one of a number of large,
primitive hominids that have been seen in wilderness areas all
around the globe. The North American variety is known popularly as
Big Foot and Sasquatch. (The Wendigo is often confused with G.
canadensis, but is a distinct, much more dangerous, being.) Similar
hominids found in the eastern hemisphere are often referred to as
Abominable Snowmen or Yeti. G. canadensis show remarkable,
supernatural strength, speed, and durability. Fortunately, in the
wild, left to their own devices, the creatures appear to be
predominantly non-violent. The specimen here at the CCCC
(“Stompf”) is somewhat domesticated, having been
captured as an adolescent and raised around people. (Further
information about Big Foot can be found in the T-D C.U.
The Temporal-Dimensional Cryptid Containment Units, patterned
after technology first created and used by the Ghostbusters (in
nearby New York City), are capable of holding creatures of any
shape and size. While the T-D Cryptid Containment Units appear to
be small rectangular metal boxes (remarkably similar to .30 cal
ammo cans) on the outside, they are actually much larger on the
inside. This allows each cryptid to have enough space to live in a
simulated natural environment while keeping them safely
sequestered. People outside the T-D C.C.U. may observe the cryptid
within by simply (carefully) opening the unit and peering inside.
(Do not enter or otherwise disturb the temporal-dimensional field
of the unit, lest the creature escape back into the wild.)
We hope you enjoy your time at the Cryptozoological Capture and
Containment Center. Our founder and director, Doc Drake Branta,
envisions a day when human beings and cryptids can live together in
peace, no longer hunting for or hiding from one another. Doc Drake
Branta can most often be found at one of the T-D Containment Units,
studying and communing with these creatures that he loves as is if
they were his very own children.
Between Memorial Day and Labor Day, there is a fee to access the
park (unless you have a State Park pass.) Dogs are allowed in the
park if they are on a leash. The park is open during daylight
hours. There is bow hunting in the park in the area of this cache
during the last two weeks of November and the first two weeks of
December. The cache will be archived during this time per park
staff request.
T-D Containment Unit – Big Foot is placed with the
permission of the Gilbert Lake State Park Staff. Permit Number
GL-08 issued by Park Manager Ed Winslow on September 13,
2010.
