Bigfoot Hunter Brings Preserved Specimen to News Station

A Bigfoot body on mainstream television? That's exactly what happened when Snake, the Bigfoot Hunter, brought his discovery onto ABC News recently, and the footage is making serious waves in the research community. The segment, which aired on 13 Wham, featured Snake showing off "Dak," a Bigfoot specimen he claims to have found in the Moose River Plains area near Old Forge and Inlet, New York. For those unfamiliar with the region, the Moose River Plains is a remote, swampy wilderness area in the Adirondacks that's long been considered prime Sasquatch territory. The dense forest, marshy terrain, and relative isolation make it exactly the kind of place a reclusive hominid could thrive undetected. Snake described the discovery in vivid detail during the interview. He said he was in the area when he caught the scent, which he described as pure pheromones hitting "like a fist in the face," comparable to wasabi burning through the upper nasal passages. On top of that, the specimen had been deceased for about two days, adding a layer of decomposition to an already overwhelming odor. He mentioned having to leave the scene multiple times due to dry heaving before he could fully process what he'd stumbled upon. Even more intriguing was the evidence of a second Bigfoot at the scene. Snake pointed out a larger footprint near the body, which he believes came from another Sasquatch that may have been involved in an altercation that led to Dak's death. The cause could have been mating competition, territorial dispute, or a struggle over resources. Photographs of the scene are reportedly available at bigfootsremains.com for anyone wanting to examine the evidence firsthand. Preservation of the body has been a delicate process. Snake explained that he's been applying polymers to the skin to slow decomposition, similar to techniques used in taxidermy and mummification. The specimen is kept in a hermetically sealed room, typically covered with a blanket, and handled with extreme care. He even shared a moment where he pressed too hard and his finger went right through the skin, highlighting just how fragile the remains are. One of the most fascinating parts of the interview came when Snake discussed consulting with Native American tribes. At last year's New York State Fair, members of the Six Nation Indian Tribes of New York visited the display and immediately identified the specimen as a Bigfoot. The elders referred to it as a "bark eater," a term used in various Indigenous traditions to describe wild, forest-dwelling hominids. Many Native American cultures across North America have long held stories of these beings, and their quick recognition of Dak adds significant cultural weight to the discovery. The reactions from people who've seen Dak in person are equally compelling. Snake mentioned that visitors often become completely transfixed, and some who have had credible personal encounters with Sasquatch in the past have been moved to tears. For people who've experienced traumatic Bigfoot encounters and developed PTSD, seeing the body has apparently served as a form of validation and even therapy. Perhaps the most headline-grabbing detail was the DNA analysis. According to Snake, testing revealed the specimen to be 58.5% Neanderthal and 41.5% human, with the human component including indigenous ancestry. This aligns with theories that Sasquatches may have crossed the Bering Land Strait from Asia tens of thousands of years ago, interbreeding with early human populations as they migrated throughout the Americas. The presence of indigenous DNA markers suggests a long history of coexistence or interaction with Native peoples. Snake mentioned that he's working to get this information into the mainstream, drawing parallels to the ongoing UFO and UAP disclosure movement. The goal appears to be building a larger community of researchers and witnesses who feel comfortable sharing their own encounters and evidence. For anyone in New York, Dak is on display at the New York State Fair, where Snake says he's available every day, all day, to meet people, answer questions, and shake hands. He specifically invited skeptics to come see the body and meet him in person. This is the kind of mainstream media coverage that researchers have been waiting decades for.
