Cue the “Outer Limits” theme music: a Canadian wildlife geneticist plans to test fur purportedly from Sasquatch, aka Bigfoot.

In the latest sighting, a group of Teslin residents told the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. they heard branches cracking and saw a large human-like creature run by a house. It left behind large footprints, they said, and the hair tufts that were given to wildlife officials.
Coltman expects to have his results on Thursday and said that even if the hair turns out not to be from a sasquatch, the process should serve as good way to get students interested in the field of DNA testing.
“It’s sort of like a wildlife CSI story,” he said.

Damned American pop culture. It’s even seeped into Canada!
