Bigfoot Footprint Analysis: Unveiling Transverse Tarsal Joint & Arch Structures

If you're a Bigfoot enthusiast, you're in for a treat! A video from the YouTube channel The Sasquatch Archives, titled "1996 Sasquatch Daze with Dr. Jeff Meldrum (Part 3 of 6)," provides a fascinating look into the world of Sasquatch. While the video doesn't directly feature a Bigfoot sighting, it does offer valuable insights into the creature's anatomy and behavior. One particularly interesting segment of the video focuses on the foot anatomy of Sasquatch. Dr. Jeff Meldrum, a well-known anthropologist and Sasquatch researcher, discusses the unique features of the Sasquatch foot, comparing it to that of humans and other primates. According to Dr. Meldrum, the Sasquatch foot has a distinct transverse tarsal joint, which is situated between the heel bone (calcaneus) and the cuboid, as well as between the ankle bone (Talus) and the navicular. This joint allows for extreme mobility in the Sasquatch foot, unlike the human foot, which has a permanent longitudinal arch. Dr. Meldrum goes on to explain that the Sasquatch foot lacks this permanent arch, making it flat and highly mobile. This adaptation is crucial for the creature's ability to traverse various terrains and hold onto branches while climbing. The video also touches on the gastrocnemius muscle and Achilles tendon in Sasquatch. These features are similar to those found in humans, with a long, straight Achilles tendon and a tapering muscle. However, the Sasquatch's Achilles tendon is thought to be an adaptation for elastic storage and energy return during locomotion. Although the video doesn't provide definitive proof of Sasquatch's existence, it does offer valuable insights into the creature's anatomy and behavior. By understanding these aspects, we can better appreciate the complexities of Sasquatch and its potential adaptations to its environment.
