Does Bigfoot Shake?

As soon as they get wet, every mammal out there will shake themselves dry. What about Bigfoot? Assuming he does exist, it appears that he's a mammal based on the data gathered from sighting reports. Witnesses dating back to the 1800's all describe him as "covered with hair", so when he gets wet, does he shake dry? Makes sense, right?

A team of researchers actually did a study on 16 different wet animals and recorded their shaking in slow motion to document how many times they shook and to note the differences in technique between them. It was fascinating to learn that mammals can generate centrifugal forces 10-70 times gravity by shaking. Perhaps it's Ma Nature's way of protecting mammals from hypothermia in cold, wet weather.
