Because the overwhelming majority of submitted Bigfoot Reports describe an animal with characteristics to that of a Primate.
I don't know where you stand on your specific level as to where in the tree of life to place such a thing, but I imagine you have at least walked it down to "Mammal".
If so...don't be shy, take the next step and call it a Primate....No one will laugh at you..LOL
Certainly you don't believe this could be some form of Bear or Wolf.???
I'm not willing to go on a full ledge (Even though I am more apt to believe it is a form of Ape.) So that is why I left genus and species open for debate.
However, if Ape...I think Neopithecus Americanus would be a fine name.
