We have all heard that Sasquatch loves bacon and pancakes and even the Finding the Big Guy team on television placed donuts to bring them in. They said Sasquatch loves sweets like Twinkies and tried to lure him in, which in the end did not work. Now, let’s look at this from the outlook of what a massive being of this size, which many say range from 6 to 10 feet, would need to survive in the wilderness of North America. How would Sasquatch make it through long winters with hardly any food to hunt for during this time?

Some even believe that Sasquatch is an opportunistic apex predator who hunts but will also grab kills from other animals if need be. Sasquatch has also been said to have similar hunting patterns as grizzly bears with a very versatile diet ranging from fish to aquatic plants. Although they are considered carnivores and their digestive system reflect this; they are more omnivores because of the variety in their daily food intake.

According to the usual descriptions of Sasquatch, he is described as an immense, bulky beast with 4 foot wide shoulders, incredible muscular tone, and with super human speed and strength. Now, if this is the actual physicality of Sasquatch then the amount of caloric intake he would need to maintain such physical attributes and stamina must be off the charts.

Depending on their individual size, most bears need an intake of 10,000 or more calories per day to survive in the wild and could even be more if larger. There have been recorded cases of grizzlies weighing up to 1500 pounds. Naturally, we do not know the exact weight of Sasquatch, but some say it’s more than 500 pounds, and on average most bears are close to this weight. If this is the case, then we must assume that 10,000 calories per day would not be out of the question for Sasquatch to survive in its habitat.

But what about winter, how does Sasquatch make it through the harsh winters in North America? It could be that Sasquatch consumes large amounts of foods that are high in fats for building mass through the spring, summer, and fall months, resulting in its often described size and bulk by witnesses.

It is also a possibility that their diets can vary based on the geographical area that they may roam. Another possibility is that they are different from one area to another, just like primates and humans. The cycles of the different seasons and the variations in diets could explain the many different descriptions in size and bulk of this creature.

Like many creatures of the forest, the size and appearance of Sasquatch could vary depending on if there are large amounts of food sources to feed on. Sasquatch has also been said to be a social creature with its own kind, some believe they have the ability to create fire just like us, cook their food, and even make tea for medicinal purposes. All are possible reasons as to why they can live through such hard winters in caves and dens.

When we talk about Sasquatch, many can see a high level of intelligence in their actions, and the elusiveness they achieve may be an adaptation to stay clear of humans. Considering their intelligence and the vast wilderness of this continent with so many rich food sources, it’s a wonder how many can believe that a being of such size could not thrive in the bountiful and beautiful landscape of North America.
