Fact or Fiction: Bill makes Bigfoot CA's official cryptid?

Posted

(KGTV) — California's official animal is the grizzly bear, our state flower is the poppy and our state tree is the redwood.

Now there's a rumor they're trying to add Bigfoot into the mix.

It's true.

A bill introduced by Santa Rosa Assemblyman Chris Rodgers would make Bigfoot the state's official mythical creature, otherwise known as a cryptid.

Over the years, Bigfoot or Sasquatch has allegedly been spotted roaming rural communities in Northern California.

In fact, the iconic 1967 film allegedly capturing a Bigfoot was shot in Del Norte County in the far northwest corner of California.
